1. 

   

   Mix the eggs, oil, and milk in a bowl until fluffy with the whisk in a bowl. The eggs should be totally blended in. This is the key to the fluff so be sure to whisk really well. (Whisk it. Whisk it good.)

2. 

   Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a separate bowl until blended.

3. 

   

   Pour the wet bowl into the dry. Mix with the whisk. Be sure to fluff again! It’s okay if there are a few small lumps of dry mix, but try to get it all worked in.

4. 

   Pour by the 1/3 cup onto medium hot griddle/frying pan. This is the hardest part because the pan cannot be too hot. If you have a gas burner like me, it is really difficult to keep the temperature low. But this is essential. Otherwise, you’ll get burnt cakes with raw centers. Disgusting.

5. 

   Flip the pancake when when the top looks really bubbly. It is about two minutes. The second side doesn’t cook nearly so long (less than a minute).

6. 

   

   Eat as many as you can before you get sick.

Can't wait to make these! One question though, is it best to cook them on a griddle or in a frying pan? In the past when I've tried to make american pancakes, they've just all spread out in the pan so they're really thin! I think maybe the mixture wasn't thick enough though?! At least I've got a proper recipe now though =)
