Perfect Pancakes

"These are "silver dollar" style pancakes. I don't like sweets, so I eat them as-is, without any syrup, etc. They are very light and I usually make tons of tiny pancakes, ending up with a huge stack. If they are getting too dark by the time they bubble, then the pan is too hot, and vice versa. If you use the buttermilk, substitute one teaspoon of baking soda for one of the teaspoons of baking powder (using 1 teaspoon each)."

  1. Well, my husband gave this the thumbs up! I thought the batter was a little thin, but they turned out nice. I halved the recipe and used whole milk. I did add just about a 1/4 cup more flour. Thanks bramble!
