2. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 4 minutes
3. Remove from heat and let cool.

Then make the hotcakes:

1. Stir the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl until mixed
2. In another bowl, beat the milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla until blended
3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and beat until just blended(a few lumps are okay)
4. Heat griddle or large heavy pan over medium heat.Brush heated griddle/pan with a little butter.
5. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter for each hotcake, leaving a little space in between.Cook until golden brown underneath(you can lift up a corner to peek).Flip the hotcakes catefully and cook until the undersides are golden brown as well.
