Pancakes

Pancakes

8   Cups flour

3   Tablespoons baking powder

2   Tablespoons sugar

1   Tablespoon salt

8   Cups milk

10  Eggs

3/4  Cup vegetable oil

Mix the dry ingredients in a very large mixing bowl.  Whisk until blended or sift if you prefer smooth pancakes. In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs and add the milk and oil.  Pour the egg mixture into the dry mixture and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Bring a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet to medium heat.  Using a ladle, spoon the batter on to the griddle.  Cook the pancake until the bubbles forming on the surface begin to pop. Then, flip the pancake and cook the other side until it is golden brown.  Serve the pancakes immediately with plenty of butter and, preferably,  homemade maple syrup.
