FAVORITE PANCAKES

1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons salad oil or melted shortening or bacon fat

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.  Combine egg, milk
and salad oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just till flour is
moistened.  (Batter will be lumpy.)  Bake on a hot griddle.  Makes about
12 dollar-size or eight 4-inch pancakes.
