Instructions: For batter, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg, oil and molasses. Add to dry ingredients along with beer. Stir lightly, just until blended. Batter will be slightly lumpy and slightly thick.

Heat greased griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees. Griddle is ready when a few drops of water bubble and skitter rapidly around.

For each pancake, spoon about 2 tablespoons batter onto hot griddle and spread with back of spoon to 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Cook pancakes until puffed, bubbly and dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown.

This recipe yields 20 griddle cakes.
