Aunt Lavenna's Hotcakes

2 eggs	2 cups milk	1/3 cup shortening (or oil if preferred)	2 cups flour
1 tsp salt	3 Tbs sugar	5 tsp baking powder	1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Beat eggs well in large bowl. Warm milk in saucepan (or microwave) but do not boil. Add shortening to milk and stir until melted then beat together all liquid ingredients. Add dry ingredients and beat until most of lumps are gone. Preheat griddle/pan then pour hotcakes. Cook until bubbly on top and slightly dry around edges before turning over. Cook an additional minute or so before removing to warmed platter or right to your breakfast plate. This makes enough hotcakes for at least four people but is easy to cut down to a half batch.
