Daddy's Famous Waffle/Pancake Batter

Every time I see Glenn Finley, I feel happy.  He is always cheery and smiling.  He loves food!

I'm not surprised that his daughters named his pancake and waffle recipe, "Daddy's Famous Waffle/Pancake Batter." I can imagine them laughing in the kitchen, as they enjoy these tender pancakes made by their awesome dad.

Daddy's Famous Waffle/Pancake Batter

Serves 4

Dry ingredients
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 pinch salt

Wet ingredients
1 cup skim milk
1 tbs. vanilla extract
1 egg
3 tbs. maple syrup
3 tbs. butter melted with 1 tbs. canola oil

Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine both together, mixing until just incorporated.  There should still be lumps of flour.  Let stand 5 minutes.

For waffles: Cook waffles according to the instructions of the waffle maker.

For pancakes: Preheat 10- or 12-non-stick inch skillet over medium heat.  Add a little butter or oil to the skillet. Add 1/4-1/3rd cup batter to the skillet for each pancake.  Cook over medium heat until edges of the pancakes are dry and the top is bubbled and almost cooked. Flip over and cook an additional 2 minutes.
