I have tied finding a pancake that my husband would like and have not been successful in the 10 years I have known him. But I actually pulled it off this morning! If you need a thin and light pancake, this is the BEST recipe you will be able to get your hands on. Thanks Charles!!!!

Those were amazing! Though I admit I added another 1/4 cup of flour, and a tbsp of sugar, and they turned out great! Best pancakes I've ever had.

Great recipe! I have all these ingredients at all times. I looked over the reviews and omitted salt and added a 1/4 cup sugar and I used whole wheat flour! Lots of positive comments from my teenage kids!

Great texture and a perfect ratio of flour to milk. Not sure why there's an egg in the recipe; it's not needed.

-- Left out the egg.
-- Used almond milk instead of cow.
-- 2 tbsp of vanilla.
-- Added walnuts.

Drizzled with honey, they make a perfect meal.

Thanks so much for a recipe that doesn't require half a pound of flour and 10 ingredients. It's pancakes; it doesn't need to be THAT hard. These are great, by the way. I added vanilla and walnuts.

They were great! I added some freeze dried blueberries and they were the best pancakes I ever had. I will never buy pancake mix again! Thanks Charlie!

My kids thought they where a bit salty since they eat them without syrup but I had them with strawberries, amazing! No more out of the box!

Wonderful recipe. Quick and easy. I just added 1 cup a sugar for taste, but you don't necessarily need it. It's up to what you like.
