Combine all ingredients, stir just until mixed. Batter should have small lumps. Do not over mix or pancakes will be tough. Let stand a minute or two than pour onto hot (400) lightly greased griddle. Cook until bubbles start to break (2 to 3 minutes), turn and cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until golden.
(Cooks Note)You can add fruit, very well drained, or replace half the flour with whole wheat, rye etc.. I have also made oatmeal flour and used that for half the flour.
