My husband kept saying, "These are really good pancakes" and smiling happily.  He loves maple syrup and these pancakes drench well in it because they are so thick and fluffy.  I added a few drops of vanilla and a couple tablespoons of light and dark brown sugar.

We have pancakes almost every weekend trying various recipes and this is the first time he said, "We probably never have to go to IHOP or Original Pancake House anymore because we can make them at home."   BTW, he flips the pancakes better than me... keeps them at a nice moderate temperature and flips earlier.  I notice his technique is better and produces a prettier and fluffier pancake.
