Beer Pancakes (or Waffles)

• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup beer
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the egg, beer and melted butter; stir with a whisk just until blended - a few lumps are okay.
2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. When bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, flip, and cook until browned on the other side.For waffles, just prepare batter and cook as usual.
