Sift the dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl. In another bowl beat eggs; add milk and beat together. Add milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix well. Lastly add 1/2 stick of melted butter. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Heat griddle. When hot, brush with a little butter. Pour 1/8 to 1/4 cup of batter on griddle. When the pancake is all bubbly, turn and brown on the other side. Keep your griddle very hot, but not on the highest setting. No need to add any more butter to griddle for additional pancakes. Just cook the pancakes and enjoy. If your griddle is large, you can do several pancakes at a time. Fresh berries, chocolate chips, chopped mangos, or whathaveyou, makes the pancakes interesting and different. Serve with pure maple syrup or spread on a little butter on each pancake and shake powdered sugar on top. Any way you fix these, they're winners! Note These are very good with Mary's Apple Pie Syrup. See recipe.
