Father's Fantastic Flapjacks

Mix the following ingredients up in alphabetic order.
2 cups flour             1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp melted butter      1/2 tsp baking power (more for thicker) 
2 tsp vanilla            pinch of yeast
4 eggs                   1 can evaporated milk
2 cups water (or you may use 1 cup water and 1 cup 1% milk)

To this mixture add flour or water depending on the thickness of
the batter. Mix until you have a sloppy thick soupy consistency.

Heat a flat pan (with teflon coating) on the stove. When hot,
stray with a light coating of PAM or butter, and cook to your
desired color for a flapjack, and serve with butter and syrup.
