🎉 1950s New Year’s Morning Breakfast Spread

🥞 Fluffy Griddle Hotcakes (true 50s diner style)

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups sifted flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp melted shortening or melted butter

Instructions:

1. Heat your griddle until a drop of water dances.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Beat egg, milk, and melted shortening together. Add to dry ingredients.
4. Stir just until mixed — 1950s recipes always warned “Do not overbeat.”
5. Pour onto the hot griddle. Flip when bubbles appear around the edges.
6. Serve with butter, syrup, or warm fruit preserves.
