INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the pancakes: Combine the eggs, milk, water, vanilla, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Beat until well combined. Using a fork, blend the baking powder into the flour. Whisk into the liquid ingredients, along with the oil, whisking until just blended. Set aside while you prepare the fruit. (May be made the night before. Cover and refrigerate.) To prepare the fruit: Melt the butter in a large, preferably nonstick pan. Add the fruit and saute for a minute. Sprinkle with the sugar and continue to saute for no longer than a minute. You want to bring out the flavors and brighten the colors. If you use fresh raspberries, add them the last few seconds. Remove from heat and set aside while you cook the pancakes. Brush a 12-inch nonstick omelet pan with about 3 teaspoons melted butter. Give the batter a good stir just before making each pancake. When the pan is medium-hot, ladle in 1 cup of the batter. Swirl the pan to evenly spread the batter, then cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Lift the pancake when it appears to be set; it should have golden speckles on the bottom. Turn and cook for another minute. Continue with the remaining batter. Serve each pancake with sauteed fruit, and dust with powdered sugar. [Serves 4.

My favorite toppers are sliced peaches and raspberries, cinnamon-dusted apple slices, or halved fresh figs and toasted walnuts.
