I put the recipe together as written and the batter was extremely runny! I added about a third cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder and it was a bit better. The finished pancakes were pretty standard. -
I love these pancakes, I make this all the time, I had to put the link for the recipe on my home screen on my phone... -

The batter was very very runny I ended up added a 1/4 cup of flour to them. Also they are not as fluffy as I wanted... maybe my idea of fluffy is different. I am on the search for the best pancake recipe this is not the one,

Probably the worst pancakes I've ever had. These were thin, even after adding more flour. They were rubbery and had no flavor. Terrible. I don't know how other people could possibly rave about them. -
Delicious! I'm still making them but i had to leave a review because of all the bad ones. I almost didn't make it but i have no butter and its for me and my toddler and he doesn't complain about pancakes. I've tried a no butter recipe before but this ones the best. I added a tiny bit extra flour because of the runny reviews, just a hint over the 1 1/4 line. i also added an extra 1/2 tblsp of white sugar and I free handed some brown sugar and some pumpkin spice and lastly a splash of vanilla for flavor. and for milk i put a tiny bit under also and then 3 small tblsp's of oil. This might seem like alot of modification but it was easy for me. I let the batter sit for 5 minutes then cooked them with oil low and slow in 1/4 cup sizes because i did notice they took a minute to rise and the smaller ones were fluffier too. What i ended with was some fluffy and delicious pancakes! I definitely recommend this recipe as a base.

Great recipe! I have made this several times and it's quick and easy and delcious!! I use butter instead of oil and sometimes add some cinnamon! -
This is a great "base recipe" for experimentation. I substituted some of the milk with eggnog (had some I needed to use up) and the results were delicious. -
Good pancake recipe, I did do a couple of slight modifications, I used canola oil instead of butter and added 1 tsp of vanilla to the batter to add a bit of flavour. Both DH and DD liked them alot. -
Sunday morning always calls for pancakes and I wanted a quick recipe that called for a bit more milk. This recipe looked promising and it certainly hit the spot. I still wanted a buttery taste so I substituted the 3 Tbs of oil for 2 Tbs of butter and added a 1 tsp of vanilla. They were certainly fluffy and yielded exactly 8 cakes. I'll most likely make these again next Sunday.
