Um. Yeah. Big difference between baking POWDER and baking SODA. It matters.

These pancakes are perfect. Not too sweet which is what I prefer. I add a drop of lemon to butter softened at room temp and mix in a tsp of powdered sugar and mix it up. I put that on pancakes with some powdered sugar over it too. Also I did this with orange marmalade as a topping..so great!!!

Great Recipe! And for anyone who like me, was wondering whether to put butter or something on grill or pan, the answer is no. I made a batch with PAM and then one without anything and nothing is necessary on pan, they will not stick either.

Not bad, only had baking soda, dont know if it matters. I added bananas cut up to the batter, wasnt something ill do again, a little too much banana taste for me, better in banana bread. Thanks for the recipe

I doubled the recipe, added three tbsp. melted and slightly cooled BUTTER to the wet mix. Then added three tbsp. granulated sugar to the dry mix. Once on the griddle I added Crumbled Pecans...

AWESOME. BEST. BATTER. EVER! Thank you!

I made these with half bran half flour. I called 'em bran cakes - a healthier substitute.

Fantastic! This recipe is the bomb! At first I tasted the batter and said it needed sugar. BUT, I waited and tried pouring enough batter for one pan cake. Boy was I ever so happy I did! Perfect recipe! I'm making mine pancakes from scratch from now on!!

I added 1/4 cup of Splenda to it, used self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, and omitted the baking powder and salt. I will never, ever buy pancake mix again. This was so delicious and so easy!

These were so good we had to make two batches of them :D On another note these were a little thin, any way of thickening them up? I am done also with buying pancake mix. These smell much better :P
