  Forget all those packets of pancake mix - make them according to this recipe and you are in for a treat! I used three tablespoons of mixture at a time in my pan because I prefer them slightly thicker, and I popped some oil in a cup and used a pastry brush to quickly oil the pan between pancakes, finding this a quick, easy and clean method (probably uses less fat this way too). These pancakes stack and keep in the fridge very well. I wrapped them in foil and put them in the hot oven whilst we ate our main course and they were piping hot and absolutely delicious - they did not stick together either which was a relief. Thank you Good Food for the best pancake recipe ever!

  Great recipe I have been making them this way for years however I mostly make them with water or half and half. I wondered about the calorie contect? it says 117 per serving and never what size a serving is based on the recipe? does anyone know is that for one 2 / 3 or more. thanks JB

  Made these on Tuesday. I don't care for pancakes, but my husband loves them and ate 4 in one sitting !!! I froze the remainder, but expect they will have a very short freezer-life !!

  This has been the standard way of making pancakes for the last 50 years at least! Why change the recipe now, using so many eggs - good though they may be for us - but we all need to cut down on our food consumption. I use pancakes both sweet and savoury - chicken, mushrooms and leeks with a little sauce or of course a fish pie mix is also good!

  Yummy, I love pancakes and just a bit of lemon and sugar is all they need, unless you want to go the whole hog and throw on banana, chocolate sauce and ice-cream, or blueberries cooked with maple syrup with a dollop of cream! For the earlier comment, the calories are per pancake assuming you get the mixture to make 8.

  I love pancakes but never quite got the mixture right always tasted eggy or bland, tried this recently and they were delicious. . . best ever! I like the tradditional sugar and lemon although my daughters like to add ice cream, cherries or chocolate spread, have made another batch, stored them in the fridge ready for breakfast in the morning :o)
