Ah sweet joy, another ELP, or even better, progressive rock fan.

Here's a beginning for you: The Chiefs Famous Pancakes

Ingredients;
Dry:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. double acting baking powder
2 tbs. sugar

Wet:
1 large egg
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tbs. cooking oil

Preheat a flat griddle over just a bit over medium heat.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg and oil in a separate bowl to an emulsion. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together until only small lumps remain.

Test the griddle by dripping water on top. It should skittle around on the hot surface. Lightly rub cooking oil over the griddle with a suitable pastry brush, or paper towel, taking care not to burn yourself. Spoon three tbs. of batter onto the griddle for each pancake and let sit until bubbles come to the top and start breaking. Flip and cook another two minutes or so. Serve fresh with butter and your favorite pancake topping.

These are good pancakes. You will like them. Add other ingredients, like diced apple, or wild blueberries (yes they have to be sweet, wild, low-bush blueberries), or peanuts. DW used to like to put M & M candies in for the kids when they were young.

welcome Amy, we don't call him the Chief for nothing! A good man and a good cook too.

welcome Amy, we don't call him the Chief for nothing! A good man and a good cook too.

A good man is only a good man when compared to lesser men. There are no lesser men on DC, only good men who want to share and learn. So, me, I'm just an average guy around here, and I'm in very good company from both sexes.

But in any case, thanks S&P. What you said of me, I return back to you. You are a good man, and a good cook too.

Amysueheck, I hope you enjoy the pancakes. You will find over time in DC that I earned my name - Longwind of the North.

Chiefs Famous Pancakes

Well the title certainly fits the bill. These were very good! I made them without fruit added and served with REAL maple syrup, sausage and scrambled eggs. Now that's the way to start the day. Thank you for that recipe!

And Salt and Pepper your quote of the Chief being a good man and a good cook are very true. I've already received great advice in the short time I've been on the board from several members. I can see I'm in good company!
