Our Favorite Pancakes

This is a recipe I've fiddled with a little bit over the years, and is usually what the kids ask for every morning for breakfast! I use a griddle that makes about 9 at a time, with one ladle-full of batter per pancake, so if you make them bigger or smaller of course the yield will be different.
