I often complain that I am a very good cook but CAN NOT make pancakes.  This recipe changed everything.  These pancakes are light, fluffy, and easy to make.  I thought the batter was very thick, but I left it alone and the pancakes turned out great. I did add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.  I forgot to add the salt and did not miss it at all.  Most poor reviews seem to state that the pancakes were bitter.  I respectfully suggest that at least some of these home cooks might have accidently used baking soda instead of baking powder.  Baking soda does have a rather bitter, tinny taste.  One poor review even mentioned that 3 tablespoons seemed like a lot of baking  soda.  Its an easy mistake to make.  The pancakes I made were not the least bit bitter.  I highly recommend these pancakes.
