TO MAKE PANCAKES (2 PER SERVING)

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt and whisk until blended. In a smaller bowl, combine the milk and eggs, whisking well. Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients and gently whisk to combine. Stir in melted butter. Do not over beat the batter; there should be no lumps.
