Cooking with Abandon

Once again, this is from the back of the heart-shaped skillet frame package, so that would be the mold referred to in the directions.

Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp salad oil

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Combine egg, buttermilk and salad oil. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until flour is moistened and free from lumps. Spray rings with cooking oil. Pour into molds on a well seasoned hot griddle or fry pan. Makes about six 4" pancakes.
