This is a camping recipe. Assume moderate heat on a campfire or pack stove.

When ready to cook, mix all ingredients except the butter and syrup and let set a couple minutes. If stiff, add a little more water. If you heat the pan well first, no oil is necessary; however you will need a good, flat metal spatula. If I have time, I plop 3 or 4 pecan halves on each cake instead of mixing them in. Serve hot with butter and syrup. Can be saved for later in the day; great with jam! I use a metal camp plate and a plier-like pot-grabber as a griddle, which is just right for my one burner stove. Baking the pancakes is somewhat time consuming, but well worth it on a leisurely or cold morning.
