I promised my kids pancakes this Saturday morning only to discover I had no trace of baking powder in my home. After a quick internet search, I decided to give this recipe a whirl. It did the job, however I had to make a few adjustments. 1.) 2 cups of milk is just too much for the amount of dry ingredients in this recipe, I would recommend cutting down to 1.5 cups. 2.) I added a bit more sugar to get the taste of the batter "right," just a half teaspoon more. Other than that, this is a solid classic pancake recipe for when you're in a pinch (or without a pinch of baking powder). -
Great recipe and the pancakes turned out to be very fluffy, but I recommend using 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Also try adding chocolate chips to sweeten them up!

Stuck in a bachelor cabin with all the ingredients for pancakes EXCEPT baking powder. ...was very happy to find this recipe. The pancakes turned out pretty tasty - they're a little heavier/denser than regular pancakes, but still good. Only recommendation would be to pay attention to the amount (2C milk + 2C flour + 2 eggs makes a lot of pancake batter for just 2 people). Thanks for posting! -
My sisters and I scrambled down seven of those super delectably scrumptious pancakes in no time! Thank you www.food.com for this awesome recipe! -

Oh my goodness! I love baking and cooking, but have never made a single batch of perfect pancakes until now! I'll have burned pancakes and some raw in the middle. I cannot believe how delicious these turned out!

I added stevia instead of sugar and they weren't sweet enough so I just added more until it was to a taste I liked. Cocoa powder to color I liked And peanut butter Calling them "Reeses" pancakes. Also sprinkled powdered sugar on top...

On step one, instead of adding just sugar, I added cinnamon and sugar mixed! On step two, instead of adding vanilla extract, I added 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon applesauce for a hint of flavor and sweetness.

I never have baking powder so was happy to find recipe with baking soda instead. I added a tablespoon of vanilla and a smashed banana too. Like previous review, this is a lot for two people ") -
