1 1/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 beaten egg
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. salad oil or melted shortening or bacon fat

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

FEATHER PANCAKES: Reduce flour to 1 cup. Increase baking powder and sugar to 2 tablespoons each. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the liquid mixture; beat smooth. (For fat cakes, use 3/4 cup milk.)
