    Great recipe. I used raw sugar (approx. 1-1/2 tablespoon instead of 1 tablespoon, may try honey next time. I also added 1/2 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of Disaronno Amaretto. Used 4 bananas. Worked out nicely.

    May try 1 tsp of vanilla extract next time instead Amaretto - although, the Amaretto proved a tasty touch to the recipe. :

    My grandma was an amazing country cook. Everything she made tasted like heaven - probably a bit of nostalgia talking. But I distinctly remember her pancakes being especially delicious. She's been gone nearly 20 years and I haven't been able to replicate her recipe until today. These are my grandma's pancakes. Unbelievable! Thank you Cathy!

    These pancakes are awesome! I did not have buttermilk so I added 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 2% milk and let it sit for 20 minutes as someone recommended. They came out wonderful! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Absolutely awesome! Since it's Christmas, I added a little eggnog to the batter. Had some blueberries and strawberries, reduced those into a syrup. These are delish and not heavy at all. I will never buy pancake mix again. I have searched a long time for a pancake recipe that I like. Store bought mix just never quite cut it. I can see myself as an old, white-haired grandma fixing these pancakes for my grandkids!!!!

    I stumbled across this recipe. I have a large family of 5 that loves cakes. So I doubled this recipe. If you are one to playds around with ingredients and add to your personal taste this is a great foundation recipe. I found that I had to "tweak" the consistency of the batter, by adding a little bit of water. My family like thinner cakes. I also added a bit of agave nector(or sugar to taste and coconut extract(sometimes I will add lemon or almond. I tend to not like the baking soda/baking powder taste, so I made sure I just added a bit less, especially as I doubled this recipe!

    The cakes were light, fluffy and delicious! Easy to make! A hit with the family!!!

    Nice texture, moist and fluffy as pancakes should be. I had to add extra milk, as i thought batter was too thick at first. And i took some advice and added a little vanilla too. Mine were with blueberrys, so any sweetness was missing the berries made up for it.

    Stop here--these are the best. Everyone in the family has the recipe and loves them. No more store-bought mixes.

    I followed one of the other rater's instructions and added the vanilla. I also added 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter instead of 3 tablespoons of butter. The recipe tasted great. I would like to add one additional recommendation. Usually when I make pancakes I do not flip them until the top of the batter begins to bubble. With these pancakes, I wouldn't let them bubble before I flip them. Instead, allow them to slightly/lightly brown on each side, this will cause them to be extremely light and fluffy. (vs. hard/brown and crispy. A few of my pancakes tasted very light and cake like and those were the best in the batch. Over all, great recipe that my husband also enjoyed.

    These pancakes turned out great and even my three year old ate three of them! This recipe will end the search for my pancake recipe.
