I don't understand how some people gave this recipe only one star! It's pretty simple people - follow the directions EXACTLY AS IS and you cannot fail!   this means: -SIFT THE DRY INGREDIENTS. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.  -do not change quantities of ANYthing! the only thing i altered was adding 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla to the eggs/milk. yum  -USE SWEETCREAM (unsalted) BUTTER. salted butter will make it wayy too salty. common sense, if you ask me! (#1 mistake inexperienced bakers make, i find)  -do not over-mix the egg or the finished batter. some small slight lumps in pancake batter are okay, as long as you don't have huge chunks of dry! Just incorporate everything without going overboard.  personally:  -i melted the butter over med heat, just until melted and poured in the milk/egg/vanilla mix at the same time that i added the melted butter from the pan. then stir!  -I even used 2% milk (all i had) rather than whole milk, and they are just perfect!  When made correctly, they are fluffy, delicious, and not overly sweet. They could be easily paired with either sweet or savory toppings...I had blueberries and pure NY maple syrup over mine...yum!  If they turn out salty/flat/bitter, you didn't follow the directions somewhere. I swear this recipe is so easy and fast!  Hope this helps? :)
