Ingredients

Step 1
Take your flour, sugar, and baking powder and introduce them to each other in a bowl.

Step 3
Combine all the ingredients into one bowl and mix it real good.

What you're going to need now are some cardboard molds to shape the pancakes. Take an empty milk carton and cut parallel with the bottom to create a 2-3 inch wide band. Staple the band into a circle and line with wax paper.
