And how much milk? 2 T same s the oil?

No way. Add as much milk as needed to be able to pour the dough. If you want thinner pancakes add more milk to make it more fluid.

I learned on an IBM Selectric. With the little dancing ball. You could take it out and replace it with different ones to change fonts. Italics. Sans Serif. Whatever your little paycheck could afford. I think my class was the first to use them otherwise we would have been banging away on manual Olympics, too.

I remember carbon paper. And white-out. And ... what was that purple stuff they used to make copies? Not carbon paper, the other purple stuff.

I learned to type on a manual typewriter. I remember when the ball electric ones came in and got access to one at night to type my college assignments. It was like magic!
Do you mean mimeographs? Those were purple copies that we got handed out for things like assignments in school.

And the blue copies were mimeographs.

And as someone else mentioned, ditto machine! That's what we called it in our school.

And the ink ran if it got wet. Spill a glass of water, and the page became illegible.

I remember he was my first concert that I went to as a teeny bopper going with the older teens

The first concert I went to was The Doobie Brothers.

Depends on how thick you like your pancakes. That's why I didn't put in an amount. But 2T wouldn't even make a dent.

I don’t measure the milk, just add a little at a time until it's my preferred consistency.

And each of the letters was on a stick. If you hit the keys too fast they jammed up.

Yup. My typing speed went way up on the electric ball thing. But I had to learn not to thump the keys as hard as I did on my trusty manual.
