Made this recipe made for Fall 09 PAC. Made this up almost exactly per the recipe, but found some problems. First you call for egg in the directions but don't list it in the Ingredients or how many so I added one large egg. Next once all liquid ingredients were combined with the dry, this batter was so darned thick it was more like a dough, and I had to add another half cup of milk simply to be able to use it as a pancake batter. Other wise cooking this was fine except that the pancakes are so light that they simply fell apart whilst I was trying to turn them. Flavor was quite good though. I believe this recipe could be tweeked to give the totally perfect pancake ever.
