Preheat a griddle over a MEDIUM-HOT BURNER.  Soften 2 TBSP BUTTER
(or use PEANUT or CANOLA OIL, which you will not need to soften).

In ONE BOWL, mix together 1.25 CUPS FLOUR, 1 TBSP SUGAR, 1 TSP SALT,
and 1 TSP BAKING POWDER.

In ANOTHER BOWL that is MORE THAN TWICE AS LARGE as the first, beat
ONE EGG well.  Whisk in about 1.5 CUPS KEFIR (or WHOLE MILK MIXED
WITH PLAIN YOGURT).  (You can adjust this amount to make thinner
or thicker pancakes.)  Whisk in 1 TSP BAKING SODA.
