Pancakes from International House of Pancakes®

Even though the early press runs of Top Secret Recipes excluded
 buttermilk in this recipe -- a very important ingredient if you 
really want pourable batter -- many figured out the missing 
ingredient on their own and the error was quickly corrected in
 later copies. Now we just like to call those copies of the book
 the "Collector's Editions." For any of you who were lucky enough
 to get one of the "Collector's Editions" we'd liked to say 
"Congratulations!" Now here's the recipe, in its entirety, to
 make pancakes just like those served every day at IHOP.

Nonstick Spray
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cooking oil
pinch of salt


1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Use a pan with a nonstick
 surface or apply a little nonstick spray.
2. In a blender or with a mixer, combine all of the remaining 
ingredients until smooth.
3. Pour the batter by spoonfuls into the hot pan, forming 5-inch
 circles.
4. When the edges appear to harden, flip the pancakes. They should
 be golden brown.
5. Cook pancakes on the other side for same amount of time, until
 golden brown. 
Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.
