Great all around starter recipe for pancakes.  I am not much of one for salt so I would suggest reducing the amount of salt in this recipe by at least 25% but not more than 50%.  Vanilla is not the only flavoring you can use, Strawberry, Banana, Cherry, Maple, Pecan and the like are also good. If you have children (or a child-like attitude toward food) Creme de Mint and Creme de Cocoa combination on St. Patrick's Day is a nice treat.  I have found that a 1/4 cup measuring cup makes the perfect size pancakes to allow for the addition of a breakfast meat and a couple of eggs on the same plate.
