  1. I'm not rating this, as I am wondering whether there were errors in the ingredients as posted. I had reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp., as I almost always reduce salt, but the pancakes tasted strongly of salt anyway. Also, the pancakes were very thin. I was comparing them to those our mom made (perhaps unfairly), and it did not seem right. I added another 1/4 c. flour, and the pancakes then looked better. The recipe does not indicate when to add the egg - I lightly beat it and stirred it into the milk/yeast mix before adding the flour. All in all, I was not successful with these, sorry to say.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
