This simple recipe never fails to please.  The key is sifting the flour. 

To be sure of good results; Check the date on your baking powder, old powder won't work. Don't get the pan too hot. Barely oil (oil and wipe) the pan. Turn pancakes when the bubbles just start to break. Keep them on warm plates in a very low oven until ready to serve. Use real maple syrup for the knock out punch. You will NEVER go back to pre-mix again.
