For Katie...

A girlfriend of mine is slightly, shall we say, challenged in the kitchen.  To be fair, I'm not sure if it's an inability to cook or a lack of interested to try.  Regardless, I had a text from her a few weekends back stating that she wished she had the energy to go to the store to get a box of pancakes.  Little did Katie know, she likely had every ingredient in her kitchen to make homemade ones in the same amount of time!  So Katie, next Sunday morning, impress the man and make them from scratch :)

2 c flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
1 3/4 c milk
3 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla

Toss all wet ingredients together in a bowl (that's what she said), mix, then add the dry ingredients to it, mix and pour onto a greased pan (or electric skillet).  If you'd like them thicker, add a little more flour until desired consistency.  If you are like Nathan and like a pan-crepe then cut back on the flour to thin out the batter. Serve with REAL maple syrup. Enjoy!
