2 c. flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 c. milk
4 tbsp. oil or melted shortening or bacon grease

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Combine egg, milk, and oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Bake on hot griddle. Pour a ring with a hole in the center and crack egg in this hole. Cook until pancake and egg are almost done, then turn and cook on the other side. Season with salt and pepper or syrup.
