Ingredients:

1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 cup flour

3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Beat egg until fluffy.
Add milk and melted margarine.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.
The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.
Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.

1
pound ground pork breakfast sausage (or cubed ham or bacon, whatever you like best) shopping list
2-4
cups shredded cheddar cheese
2
cups milk
4
eggs
2
pounds frozen tater tots

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the sausage, bacon, or ham evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Spread cheese over meat. I use 4 cups of cheese, but you can use less if you prefer to reduce the calories. In large bowl, beat together milk and eggs. Pour over cheese. (May be refrigerated overnight at this point). Top with frozen tater tots. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Some ovens may take more or less time. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
