basic recipe

"It was generally my practice to just google "pancakes" whenever I wanted to make pancakes; I never had an allegiance to any particular pancake recipe. Now I come directly to this one. This recipe makes *excellent* pancakes.

They are very vanilla-y, which my family and I love. The only thing I change is to add a splash more vanilla than the recipe calls for.

The batter is thicker than other recipes I've tried-so don't think you're doing something wrong if you get a slightly thicker batter.

Go make these!" - Jenrford

    It tastes awesome! I used hot water to replace part of the milk ( coz it's not enough lol) and it worked !

    Very yummy! I like these for my young children who don't use syrup since its too messy. These taste great, but will try to use less sugar next time just to save some calories.

    I left the recipe alone, my family likes sweeter pancakes. They came out delicious but extremely hard to flip. Very flimpsy, yet they were done. I love the recipe, but hate the flipping part. Uncertain if I wanna deal with the frustration again.

    Eating it now! It's delicious! I halved the sugar but kept everything else the same. I also added a dash of nutmeg and chocolate chips! What a great treat for a day off!

    I just made these (I'm eating them now as I write this review). Perhaps I should have read more reviews before I made them. I followed the recipe to the letter.... And in my opinion, they are a little too sweet. The next time I would use less sugar and also less vanilla. However the texture is great they are really fluffy and moist. I perfer a buttermilk flavor, so maybe the next time I would use that opposed to milk. All in all, its a decent pancake.
