Pancakes

From Great-Grandma Pancake.

Do you wonder why I call her that? This recipe.
I told you how my grandma liked to get up very early and get her day's cooking and baking out of the way well before breakfast. That woman also liked to cook and bake in quantity and freeze items to keep fresh. She even kept open bags of Doritos in the freezer ... a fact that makes your uncle W. laugh to this day.
One day, she woke up and made pancakes. Dozens and dozens and hundreds and hundreds; there were pancakes EVERYWHERE. And so her moniker stuck!

Her recipe card says it's from my dad, your Papa! And, it also says 'VERY GOOD!' and it's circled, too.

4 eggs
1 tsp. salt
3 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
5 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 C. sugar
3/4 C. vegetable oil
1 qt. buttermilk

Beat eggs for 2 minutes.
Add dry ingredients and oil last.

Pour onto hot, buttered griddle or pan in pancake-sized portions.
Flip once the top begins to bubble and sides are golden brown.

Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Also ... these freeze well!
