I bought the book when I was visiting California a few years back. The pancakes are to my liking, but my wife has had to endure vast quantities of failures before I got the right technique. These pancakes are amazing for their stupifying ability. No more than three can be eaten in one day. A slow and painful death will result from exceeding these guidelines.
Procedure Put a frying pan on a low to medium heat and melt the butter.
Whilst the butter is melting, measure the flour and sift into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, sugar and baking powder. Measure the milk in a measuring jug. Separate the eggs and place the whites in a cup, adding the yolks to the milk. Add the melted butter from the frying pan.
