Two kinds of pancakes in the world

Well, there are probably more than two, but in my estimation, there are two. There are the big fluffy fat ones, and there are the really thin ones. Also known as crepes. This recipe is for the fluffy fat ones, and its the shit:

Super Fluffy Pancakes
(yields about 6 pancakes about 3.5" in diameter,
3WW points per pancake)

1 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp melted margarine

Sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix together the wet ingredients in another. Add the dry to the wet, mix well, but not too much. You know how to cook pancakes, right? I don't have to go over that do I? Hot pan, or griddle, etc? The batter will rise up and become thick in the bowl. I put sliced strawberries in mine (which was delish- the mild sweetness of the strawberries were complemented by the super-sweetness of the maple syrup); you can probably put any fruit you'd like into it. It's a hardy batter. It can take it.
