Peanut Butter Pancakes

1¼ cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups milk
1 egg
¼ cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat milk with egg and peanut
butter until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and beat just until well
moistened. Lightly butter hot griddle. Spoon by ¼ cupfuls onto griddle. Cook
until golden brown on both sides.

Be sure not to use ground peanuts or it just won't be the same dish and in
fact nobody could ever figure out what it was supposed to be. You sure as
hell ain't getting those babies for 4.99 in Thailand, tell ya that right
now.
