Rosa Parks' "Featherlight" Peanut Butter Pancakes
Makes 5 large pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon shortening, melted, or any neutral oil, like canola (I'm assuming that Food52 added the neutral oil)
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl combine the egg, whole milk, and peanut butter. Whisk together the wet ingredients, until combined (it's okay if there are still some grains of peanut butter).
2. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
3. Add the shortening or oil to a skillet bring to 275°F. Spoon roughly one-fifth of the batter into the skillet, into a roughly 4-inch pancake. Cook for about two minutes until bubbles form around around the edges and the pancakes look dry and airy. Use a thin spatula to gently lift it and flip over to the other side. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Repeat with the rest of. the batter and serve warm.
