I made the recipe as written and the pancakes were great! I measured them with the large pampered chef scoop which is a little less than the 1/4 cup size recommended. I got 13 fluffy and delicious pancakes. It was the perfect amount for 4 people. I served them with a side of breakfast sausage and everyone left the table happy. I do not think the recipe makes enough for 8 people unless you are serving the pancakes as part of a larger breakfast spread. This recipe is a keeper!
