I made these pancakes for Pancake Day (a.k.a. Shrove Tuesday). I halved the recipe and got 7 pancakes out of it. I did not make any changes to the recipe, other than using skim milk. The pancakes turned out well. Like crepes, but a bit thicker. We enjoyed them.

Nice childhood memories, my English Mom always made our pancakes like this, with sugar and lemon, never thought of syrup for pancakes 'til we were older. These were delicious! but these days I have to use splenda and Becel and lemon, they tasted almost as good as Mom's, thanks for the memories!!

Very nice! I lacked lemon so I used a little vanilla extract instead. My kids like to eat pancakes during the day too so I doubled the recipe.

Lovely! I served them as crepes with fruit and cool whip. My sons LOVED them. I love the "sturdy-ness" of them when they are cooked. My fiance was the one that actually cooked them and he said they cooked up really well. He thought that the batter was perfect! Thanks for sharing!
