Light and Fluffy Pancakes

This pancake batter is very thick so it's hard to cook the pancakes all the way through. I have found better recipes.

I've made this recipe many times now and it has not failed me, even on a back country hut trip in the dead of winter! Yes the batter is thick but that is the style of the pancake: light and fluffy. It easily accepts additions like mini chocolate chips, banana slices, etc.

Lovely pancakes - and this recipe needed only one bowl. Baking powder and baking soda ensure a good rise from the batter.

We saved some batter to cook the next day - it was very thick, and so thinned it with a bit of milk. Cooked up OK, but not nearly as nice as for day 1.
