This is an excellent homemade pancake recipe. They turned out as promised, light and tender. My family was sure impressed, which makes me look good ;) I served with blueberry syrup. YUM YUM!! Thanks for the recipe.

Fabulous! They were so light that two of us ate the entire batch and neither of us feels overstuffed, just pleasantly satisfied. I used low-fat buttermilk in the batter and served them with pure maple syrup.

These were terrific. I loved them and so did my children. I made them for dinner while my husband was at an evening meeting. YUM. I used an old salt shaker and put cinnamon and sugar in it and then after I made the cakes on the griddle, I sprinkled a little of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on the cakes. It added a nice flavor and then instead of syrup we used cinnamon and sugar or apple butter to top them with. Wonderful and will definitly will be making them again and again.
