1 1/4 c. sifted all purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg well beaten
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. salad oil

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Combine egg, milk and oil. Add mixture all at once to dry ingredients. Stir quickly only until all the flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Heat griddle or electric skillet to 360 degrees. To hot griddle, sprinkle a few drops of water. If bubbles dance, heat is proper. Pour from tip of large spoon or from pitcher, (as soon as cakes are puffed and full of bubbles, turn and brown other side).
