Breakfast: Grandma Ellis' pancakes

Dean's mother made these wonderful pancakes and our family loves them. We use the same batter for waffles, too.

Combine in bowl:
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup oil

Combine dry ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir just until moistened. Don't overstir.

Beat egg white until fluffy and fold into batter.

Cook as usual for pancakes or waffles.

I have been lazy lately and I haven't been beating the egg white--just adding the whole egg to the batter and it's still pretty good. Beating the egg white does make it nice and light, however.

Another thing that I've done sometimes is add half as much oil and then add a little water if it needs more moisture.

You can substitute part wheat flour, also.
