Apology Pancakes

This is what you promise someone when they go to bed mad at you. Could be a child or a grown man, works for either one.

Dry Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour

2 T. sugar

1 T. baking powder

1/2 t. salt (kosher)
Wet Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups milk

1/2 stick melted butter

2 eggs

1 t. pure vanilla extract

First whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir together the wet ingredients in another container. Add wet to dry and mix until just combined. Ladle 1/4 cup measures onto preheated griddle (that has been nicely greased--you choose, butter, Pam, whichever). Cook until pancakes start to bubble. Flip and cook (less time on the second side) until golden brown. Everyone will forgive you your shortcomings after a few forkfuls.
Note: I'll often add blueberries or sometimes small chocolate morsels, depending on how evil I've been. If you choose to do the same, gently drop the treats onto the batter right after it is ladled onto the skillet. This way you don't have to eat chocolate chips in YOUR pancakes. Guilt is punishment enough. Enjoy and remember no one is perfect, but your pancakes can be!
