Lighter than Air Pancakes WITH GLUTEN

THIS RECIPE HAS GLUTEN!!!
It's just the coolest pancake recipe I've ever run across. The batter comes out thicker than your average pancake batter, it's even ready made for waffles if you have a waffle iron. The pancakes are light and fluffy and thick. Yummmmmm!

Pancake Batter
3 c All Purpose Flour
2 Tbs + 1 tsp Baking Powder
1 t salt
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Vinegar (it causes a reaction with the baking powder and makes the batter bubbly)
3 c Milk
2 Eggs
1/4 c + 2 Tbsp Oil or Melted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla - optional
1/2 tsp Cinnamon - optional
1/2 tsp Nutmeg - optional
Spray oil

Sift together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl beat all the wet ingredients except the vinegar. Make a well in your dry stuff, add the wet in batches of 1/3 at a time, while stirring. When all the wet is mixed in and the batter is smooth, add the vinegar and stir.

On medium heat, get your griddle or pan ready. Grease between batches, not between flips. Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop out the batter and put it on the griddle, it will heap up in the middle. Use the edge of the measuring cup to spread the batter into a circle. Cook until the top looks dry around the edges, then flip and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes.

Makes about 30 small to medium sized pancakes.
