Very good. Big hit with the family. I doubled the recipe and decreased the baking powder to 3 tsp rather than 4. Also I recommend adding the melted butter to the batter, rather than the milk and eggs...for a smoother result. -
Well, Barenaked Chef (ha ha ha, sorry, name caught me off guard.) isn't kidding when they siad this beats out the pancake mixes! This really is just as easy to make as a box mix, only they come out fluffy and not greasy and they do well overnight in the fridge! The only change I made was that I used plain soy milk for my lactose hubby. Last Sunday my husband said he wanted pancakes for breakfast and we didn't have a mix for it so I thought I'd check the site and saw all of the ratings for this one. By far this is the best home made pancake recipe we have tried hands down.....and the soy milk didn't make them taste weird and they were still fluffy. :-) Thank you!!!!! -
I halved the recipe and added a bit less salt than it called for, but otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and they cake out great! Because of the small amount of sugar in the recipe, they do not even need syrup and they are moist without any added butter. Great recipe. -
I *thought* I had a great pancake recipe..until we tried this one. This is the only one we use now, hands down a winner every single time we make it. Using the method from Cooks Illustrated, we mix the dry ingredients as stated, then whisk the egg whites into the milk, the yolks into the melted butter, then combine the butter and yolks with the whites/milk, and add to the dry ingredients. Works perfectly to blend all the ingredients. We also add a splash of almond extract when we make this, and triple the batch. It gives us enough for a fantastic breakfast (or dinner!) and enough left over to portion into ziploc bags and freeze or refrigerate for easy breakfasts during the week. Thanks for posting this recipe...my kids say you're the best! LOL

This recipe was great. I added a bit more milk to have the desired texture. We got enough for 3 and no leftover. It was perfect. And great taste. It was very good with maple syrup. Thanks Barenaked Chef :) Made for Cookbook tag game

To make vegan pancakes use almond flour and tonic water instead of butter, eggs and milk. They fluff up nicely and taste great.
