-----POPCAKES-----
1 cup Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Butter -- melted & cooled

POPCAKES - In mixing bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda. In small bowl, b
eat
egg until well mixed, Add cooled butter to egg and stir again. Pour egg mixture
and buttermilk into flour mixture. Stir briskly until well mixed.
Fill 6 greased muffin cups half full. Bake at 425 degrees about 12 to 15 minute
s,
until popcakes brown on top. Remove from oven. Serve immediately.
MEXICAN POPCAKES - Replace flour with mixture of 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flou
r
and 3 tablespoons masa harina. Proceed with recipe.
PANCAKES - Follow Popcakes recipe, except barely stir ingredients together. Bat
ter
should look wet and shiny, like bowl of thick-curd cottage cheese. Don't worry
about streaks of flour and lumps. Heat skillet and melt just enough oil or
shortening to cover bottom. Drop batter by heaping tablespoon into skillet and
gently pat each mound of batter down; don't flatten clumps of batter. Turn as s
oon
as edges of pancake look dry; don't wait for bubbles to break over top before
turning.

"If you are like me, you probably cook your favorite dishes again and again. It
is
easy to get into a rut. But the other day, quite by accident, I had a breakthro
ugh
when I was making one of my old favorites - pancakes.
"This basic pancake recipe is made with the plainest ingredients yet always
produces the tenderest little puffy pancakes you can imagine. On a whim, I deci
ded
I would make another batch and try baking them in muffin cups. . .just to see w
hat
would happen.
Amazingly, they turned out wonderful - high, moist, golden little domes, a cros
s
between popovers and pancakes. My daughter calls them 'popcakes'.
"Curious, I went a step further and tried a variation with the popcakes, replac
ing
several tablespoons of flour with an equal amount of masa harina.
