The following are the ingredients that we are going to use to make pancakes for four people.

1. Two cups of flour which has already been cleaned and sifted.
2. Two and a half teaspoons of baking powder.
3. Three tablespoons of granulated sugar.
4. Half a teaspoon salt.
5. Two large eggs.

1. Run flour, baking powder, sugar and salt through the sieve together.
2. Whisk milk with the eggs in a different bowl.
3. Mix the milk and egg mixture with the flour mixture while at the same time stirring, so as to keep the mixture smooth.
4. Blend this new mixture with melted butter.
5. In case, the batter seems too viscous and thick then the solution would be to add around one fourth or half a cup of milk more.
6. This final batter can now be cooked in a frying pan. The frying pan should be hot enough. Pour around one fourth of a cup of batter in the frying pan.
7. Cook till the batter in the pan dries around the edges and becomes bubbly, fluffy and a little brownish at the bottom.
8. Flip the pancake to cook the other side.
9. Serve with maple syrup, honey, cream, strawberries or anything else similar to this that you can think of.
