Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, mix the flour, nonfat dry milk, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Step 2

    Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons melted butter and the dry ingredients. Mix in the eggs and 1 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

    Step 3

    Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to griddle, swirling to coat. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle, and cook until the surface bubbles and the edges are slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and cook until the undersides are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes immediately with syrup and berries, if desired.
