This is an excellent homemade pancake recipe. They turned out as promised, light and tender. My family was sure impressed, which makes me look good ;) I served with blueberry syrup. YUM YUM!! Thanks for the recipe. -
Fabulous! They were so light that two of us ate the entire batch and neither of us feels overstuffed, just pleasantly satisfied. I used low-fat buttermilk in the batter and served them with pure maple syrup. -
These were terrific. I loved them and so did my children. I made them for dinner while my husband was at an evening meeting. YUM. I used an old salt shaker and put cinnamon and sugar in it and then after I made the cakes on the griddle, I sprinkled a little of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on the cakes. It added a nice flavor and then instead of syrup we used cinnamon and sugar or apple butter to top them with. Wonderful and will definitly will be making them again and again. -
These made very nice pancakes with a good flavor. Thank you. -

My grandkids ate these right up. I used sour milk in place of buttermilk and they were still light and tasty. Thanks for sharing. -
These were great! I can't really expand on the comments here other than to say I used powdered milk and a little lemon juice in place of the buttermilk and they were light and fluffy and very good. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! -

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
