PERFECT, PLATE-SIZE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda) together in good sized bowl.
• Measure out milk and mix in lemon or lime juice.
• Let it sit a few moments.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients.
• Pour in the milk, oil, egg and vanilla.
• Whisk all the ingredients together until the batter is fairly smooth; there should only be a few small lumps.
• Melt enough butter in the bottom of a frying pan to coat it evenly; after it has melted, wipe out any excess with a paper towel or napkin.
• The pan should be over medium heat.
• Once the pan is heated, pour about 1/2 cup batter in (or, adjust to fit the size of the pan).
• Allow the pancake to cook several minutes, until the edges are cooked and there are bubbles appearing and bursting in the middle of the cake.
• Flip the pancake, and allow to cook about 2 minutes on the raw side.
• After a minute or two on this side, the cake will raise up and become thicker.
• Once this happens, only cook the cake another minute or so, until the pan-side is nicely golden.
• If the bottoms of the cakes are browning too fast, before there are bubbles in the middle or the second side can rise, then turn the heat down on the stove.
• If the opposite problem is occuring, increase the heat.
• After a couple, it'll be just right!
• This recipe makes 6 enormous pancakes; I would imagine that, made a more normal size, it would yield about 12.
