It was the Fall of 1987 when Pete Nyhus walked into our office, just to visit. We started talking about breakfast, and he reached into a wastepaper basket and pulled out a scrap of teletype paper. He wrote out this recipe, and my family has never used pre-mix since.

My pancakes did not come out golden they came out white. I wonder why?? I always follow a recipe to a T and it’s white and like curling up on the ends

I often made these for my kids when I became a single (& finally happy) mom. My kids LOVED them. Today, my youngest is turning 21 years old. I'm going to surprise her with these for breakfast!

The best pancakes I've ever had. A hit with our family. Fluffy, light, but filling. Leftover batter held up in the fridge, and cooked up fine. A little bit chewy the next day, but still great.

I found this recipe about 6 years ago and it has been our only pancake recipe since then. Our children and my siblings use it also. We will frequently use soy milk instead of whole milk because that is what we usually have at home. Delicious! Thank you.
