Quick and Easy Pancakes
"Golden little pancakes best served warm with your favourite toppings. They come out slightly thinner than typical pancakes; if you'd like them fluffy and thick, increase the flour and baking powder. A middle ground between crepes and pancakes; if you don't use any baking powder, they come out very similarly to crepes and you can use them as wraps for your favorite toppings, or with the baking powder, they're great as traditional flapjacks.
Every pancake/waffle lover should have this recipe. If used for waffles, use 2 eggs, 6 tsp sugar, 1 1/3 cups milk, 1 1/3 cups flour, and 3/4 tsp of baking soda 2 1/4 tsp baking powder. Fast, and with only six ingredients, breakfast only gets so much easier. This is my adaptation of various recipes plus my own influence. We had a family recipe for 15 years, but this trumped even that! Hope you enjoy!"

These are not traditional pancakes. More like Swedish. Had to add more flour and a few drops of vanilla extract. You need to relable this recipe. -
This is a fantastic and easy recipe. It reminds me of the Swedish pancakes I made in home ec class MANY years ago. Very flavorful and light. I will make these often. I just added some vanilla to the recipe and it tasted perfect. -
READ THE DESCRIPTION (which I didn't ). This says its a cross between crepes and flapjacks and I would say thats spot on for both texture, consistency and flavor. I added a splash of vanilla and after the 1st one I added another 1/3 cup of flour. Tasted fine, but then I add frozen blueberries to mine which makes it harder for a 'pretty' pancake. I'll probably go back to buying Krusteez instant pancake mix, but this worked to show my daughter we can make them from scratch easily.

I used organic wholewheat flour in place of white flour and the pancakes turned out perfectly fluffy. They would probably be lighter if I'd used white flour, but I felt guilt-free eating them this way. I also did not add any oil...not even in the frying pan, which is a Tefal red dot pan. What a great easy pancake recipe.
