I used to always buy prepackaged pancake mixes, and yesterday my husband was dying for some pancakes...and yet...no mix in the pantry.  I found this recipe and the pancakes were fabulous!!!  Never again will I waste money on a mix that is inferior to what I can make with ingredients always found in my kitchen!  I have always added vanilla to my panacke mixes, and made to exception for this one.  As always, it adds such a sweet touch in the background, though I'd say I used at least a tablespoon in mine.  My children LOVED these, and now I know that next time it is essential to make a double batch, as this makes sort of a small batch for a family.
Excellent recipe, this one will live on in our family!
