whisk together in large bowl

Combine in another large bowl (I use my lg Pampered Chef measuring cup)

1 1/2 c of milk
3 tbsp melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional but I use it)

mix the liquid and dry ingriediants quickly together and cook.


I usually make some just plain and some with a few chocolate chips sprinkled in. The best time to do the chocolate chips is just after you put it on your pan or griddle.
