Mix flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly; add to sugar mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla. Spread batter evenly in a greased 8-inch square baking pan.

Pancakes
About 12 pancakes, 4½ inches in diameter
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, well beaten
1¾ cups milk
⅓ cup oil or melted fat
Heat griddle while mixing batter. When griddle is hot enough, drops of water sprinkled on it will bounce.
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Combine egg with milk and fat. Add to dry ingredients and stir only until combined. Batter will be lumpy.
For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges become slightly dry and bubbles form on top. Turn and brown the other side.
