Grandma Sue's Pancakes

Growing up, it was a treat to have our mom make these pancakes. Now that we have our own kids, it seems as though we are making pancakes every weekend. We've tried all the pancakes mixes (Aunt Jemima, Coyote, Bisquick, etc), but this easy, homemade recipe is still the best!

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk

- Blend dry ingredients, then cut in Crisco.
- Add in wet to bake batter.
- Scoop by the ladle full into fry pan or griddle and cook on medium low until bubbles and burst on top, then flip to cook other side.
- Add more milk to batter for thinner pancakes or if batter gets too thick.
- Serve with syrup and fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries or peaches.
- Makes about 6 pancakes. Double or triple recipe to make more!
