The best critics?  Your KIDS!  I've been making these pancakes for my little girls for over five years, now and my eldest says that one of her favorite memories, which she will carry into her adulthood will be "Daddy's pancakes"!  A double batch used to last for two weeks, back when she was eating one or two a day.  Now she's nine years old and she has a little sister to help her, so they scarf down a double batch in two days, tops!
