Classic Pancakes

In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a wire whisk until combined.

In small bowl, combine milk, cream, eggs, and oil and beat until smooth. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Cover batter and let stand for 10 minutes.

While the batter is standing, heat a griddle to 350 degrees F. Lightly rub the griddle with a bit of solid shortening. When a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the griddle, use a 1/4 cup measure to pour four circles of batter onto the griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles form a just begin to burst, about 2-4 minutes. Turn the pancakes and cook for 1-2 minutes on second side just until golden. Makes about 8-10 pancakes
