i have searched for a years for the perfect fluffy pancake recipe, and this is IT!! made as directed, except substituted melted butter for the shortening. mixed all dry ing together, whisked, then mixed all wet ing together, whisked, THEN mixed these together, just till moistened. made a very light, fluffy pancake. we always add fresh blueberries from my parents farm to them, yummy! one thing i may do differently next time is sift the flour, as i had a few lumps in my pancakes, but other than that, a great recipe as written!

great muffins! i think i baked a bit too long, though i did follow baking time as directed, as mine were a bit too brown and a tad dry. will cut back on baking time next time. did not add vanilla as some has suggested, was sweet enough without it. i doubled the recipe, but if you do this,you do not have to double the struesel, as i had to throw half of it out, even after covering all muffins with it. i got two dozen fat muffins out of doubling this recipe.

i gave this recipe four start only because i had to add some seasoning to make it not so bland. the thickness and texture is right on for me and my family though. i made last night with some ham that i browned first (did not have enough bacon) and then added right before serving. i also always bake my potatoes and then mash them a bit before adding, do not like chunky potatoes in my soup. also added a bit more cheese,but overall, great. my picky kids (husband and four year old) even ate it, and husband, who doesn't like soup, took leftovers for lunch today!
