    • About This Recipe

    “These are the best; we sometimes have them for supper too. They’re fairly thick, but light and very tasty. The recipe makes lots, but my Norwegian background gives me a love for leftover pancakes spread with butter and brown sugar. Yum!”

    Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cupsall-purpose flour
  • 2tablespoonsbaking powder
  • 1/4 cupwhite sugar
  • 4eggs
  • 2 1/2 cupsmilk, lowfat is fine
  • 1/3 cupvegetable oil
  • 1teaspoonvanilla, optional

    • Directions

  • You can do this the night before, or just before cooking: combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • If doing the night before, cover and leave on the counter.
  • You can also do this the night before, or just before cooking: in a small bowl, beat the eggs then stir in the milk and oil, and vanilla if using.
  • If doing this the night before, cover and store in the fridge.
  • When ready to cook, pour the liquid mixture (stir well again if taking it straight from the fridge) into the flour mixture; stir quickly with a fork until the ingredients are moistened but the batter is still lumpy.
  • Lightly grease a frying pan with a lid, like an electric frying pan.
  • Pour the batter on to the hot surface– about a quarter of a cup for each pancake.
  • Cover and cook until the surface loses its wet look and bubbles have formed.
  • Flip the pancakes over and cook, uncovered, about two or three minutes longer, or until the underside is browned.
  • Keep warm in a low oven until all pancakes are cooked.
  • Makes approximately 24 pancakes; should serve four to six with leftovers; we love leftover pancakes at my house.
  • Best served with warmed real maple syrup, although I am also a big fan of blueberry syrup.

I served with real butter and Canandian Maple syrup.What could be better? I guess it only stands to reason, if you want the best pancakes, contact a Canadian where you find the best syrup!Excellent pancakes, Lennie!Thanks for sharing!”

  • “These are excellent pancakes.When I couldn’t put my hands on my usual favorite recipe for regular breakfast pancakes, I turned to Recipezaar to find a recipe and am glad I did.These were easy to prepare, the measurements are accurate, and they looked and tasted great.”

  • “Great recipe!Light and fluffy.I added chocolate chips to half the batter for a special treat!”

  • “I made these first thing this morning, and they were absolutely de-LISH!! I had butter AND brown sugar on mine!!! My husband had them with no butter OR brown sugar!! He wants to have them again for breakfast tomorrow morning!! 10/10 !!Karin.”

  • “Absolutely delish! I topped them with melted fruit jam and real maple syrup.I had a very small amount of sour cream, and added it to the batter with the milk.Re optional vanilla, definetly add it.Easy to make.If you’re not used to covering your pancakes bef0re flipping, watch them carefully; I found out they burn quickly.”

  • “We’re not big on breakfasts in this family, usually because we’re not always together.But as luck would have it today we were and I made these light and fluffy pancakes.I didnt do the lid ‘thing’ as I already had my griddle warmed up on the stove top, they still turned out wonderful, thanks Lennie for yet another taste sensation.Eve =)”

  • “These are melt-in-your-mouth panckes!My family loved them.They didn’t turn out thick for me but were very good anyway.Thanks!”

  • “Yummy!Light and fluffy.Next time I make more and save the leftovers for pikelettes, per my DH’s request.”

  • “My wife made these over the weekend for me. We both loved them. She cut the sugar, we’re both diabetic and added a pinch of salt. They were wonderfully light. Can’t wait to get back to the states to make them for the kids. LR and Bonnie in China.”

  • “Great pancakes! I’ll never have to buy packet pancake mix again. I served them for dinner with ice-cream and maple syrup.”

  • “I must have done something wrong because the batter was not thick at all, so I added more flour .. the pancakes were delicious!! I really loved them, thanks!!!”

  • “I have made these twice now and both times they were delicious.I am happy to find a good pancake recipe that my whole family enjoys.They were easy to make and turned out just right.Thanks, Lennie!”

  • “As far as I know I did everything right following the recipe.But unfortunatley we did not like these pancakes.They were just about the worst we had.They tasted way to “eggy” for us.I am glad everyone else seemed to like them but we did not.”

  • “We did not care much for these pancakes. A box mix or frozen cake would of been better. They just didn’t seem to have much flavor.I had some trouble with the recipe. I first started out with the griddle on covered. Had to scrap the first 2 attempts off. Re-read recipe. Went to the electric skillet. Uneven heating. Skillets fault. Ended up thinning the batter a little and using cast iron skillet. “

  • “Very nice tasting pancakes, Lennie!I was a little concerned at first when I mixed the wet and dry together…I thought it would end up too wet.But I just let it sit for about 3 minutes before I made them.I added chocolate chips to the flip side for my nephews (no, not children! Ages 19 & 21!) and added wild blueberries to the rest for us other adults!Great flavor, Lennie!Thanks!M&Mers”

  • “These pancakes are really good. They were so fluffy and tastey. The batter kept well in the fridge. I will be making these again. Thanks for a great recipe Lennie. “

  • “These sure are the best!!!I have made Pancakes using this recipe so many times now and never regretted!!So light and fluffy and my husband and 2 and 1/2 year old son absolutely love it.Thanks Lennie!!”
