These were great, fluffy pancakes! I substituted applesauce in place of oil- I always do in pancake recipes. I also added a little bit of vanilla to the milk mixture. This made exactly 10 pancakes using 1/4 c of batter for each. Thanks I'm definitely making these again!

I've been using this recipe for years. It's the most delicious pancakes I've ever eaten. I add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and sometimes I leave out the sugar depending on what I feel like. I also fry them up in butter or margarine. They always come out tender and yummy! Blueberry pancakes: If you try the recipe exactly adding the lemon juice, a dash of vanilla, cinnamon AND a cup of fresh blueberries, they are out of this world. You can also add chocolate chips to them. Add a dash of cinnamon and vanilla. The baking powder amount is CORRECT! It affects the taste and texture a bit when you use less, I've tried it.

This is a great base for pancakes! I added some sweetner at the end and then some chocolate chips. These were fabulous and all 7 of the kiddos here ate them this morning!

I quadrupled the recipe since I have a large family - and it was more than plenty! The only thing I did differently wsa to add lemon to the milk for a homemade version of buttermilk pancakes. My batter was so thick I had to add extra milk or I would have had biscuits! I eat my pancakes with butter only and they were definitely less sweet without the sugar added, but that was just fine with me. These were a hit at my house and for the slumber party girls from last night. Thanks Betty - I didn't find my Mom's recipe like I was looking for - but this will now be our main pancake recipe!

Because half of the reviewers seemed to like the recipe as-is while half seemed to call for a reduction in the baking powder, I decided to be optimistic and try the recipe as-is. But---the baking powder definitely needs to be reduced. I tried one of the pancakes plain and all I could taste was the baking powder; however, I added syrup and that helped to mask a lot of the taste. I think that this is a good recipe, but it just needs to be tweaked a bit.

I did a little experimentation with this recipe. I poured too much batter in for the first one because I am used to making thick pancakes. I devided the batter into fourths and added something different for each one. I left the first division alone and cooked it according to directions. They turned out a lot better than you would think. I really liked them! The 2nd quarter I added some sugar (powdered and white) as well as some vanilla. They turned out pretty good. Sweeter than the other (obviously) but I liked the 1st batch better because the contrast between the pancakes and the syrup was amazing. For the 3rd batch, I added some peach yogurt. They were good. The yogurt was very subtle but gave them a wonderful aftertaste! I added oats, brown sugar, and pecans for the last one. They did not taste bad but were not very pretty. The batter is too thin to be able to handle these ingredients which results in it not being very aesthetically pleasing. So...great recipe...with or without additions!!!!

I made these pancakes a couple of weeks ago, and plan on making them again today for lunch. They are the best pancakes ever. Light and fluffy. A breeze to mix together and they cook quickly. If you are expecting these pancakes to taste like BisQuick pancakes, they don't. They've got that wonderful baking powder bite and aren't sweet at all. Love 'em!!

Thick and bland, wonderful. I love that they aren't sweet, and they're just right for tearing and dipping into syrup. I substituted applesauce for the vegetable oil, but I don't think it really made a difference in the taste.

I suppose the butter added may help, but the recipe makes basic (as in pH-basic) pancakes that make my stomach slightly unsettled. Lots of butter and jam on top just wouldn't cut it, though they helped a bit. I am looking for an excellent pancake recipe made at my house before. THIS wasn't anything like it!

This was one of my first recipes to try on this site, I think the bite of baking pwdr takes a little getting used to! Also, use a very sweet syrup to off-set the baking pdwr taste (I used Smucker's Strawberry in the pic). BTW, does anyone know why they are named after Clark Gable? Just curious. (:

I don't understand what's so great about these pancakes. It makes me wonder if I really was spoiled as a child, eating good homemade pancakes. I added raspberries to the batter, which wasn't such a good choice for pancakes that are not very sweet to begin with. Then I added sugar to the batter, and they were a little better, but not much. Yes, they are light and fluffy, but the flavor is NOT GOOD.

this is my new favorite recipe! two thumbs up for simplicity, versatility, and taste. for one thing, these pancakes (and *cough, cough* the batter) are just like the ones i had as a child. i thought that ALL pancakes had sugar in them... no wonder i couldn't find any that tasted like "the good old days!" i've always been a fan of baking powder; you just can't beat that flavor and fluffiness. the pancakes were super thick, and fantastic. i don't like my pancakes thin and floppy... that's what crepes are for. anyway... i got to thinking... "hey, i could do a lot with this recipe." so since the first batch of pancakes, i've made a giant oven pancake/biscuit (just plopped it on a cookie sheet & put a few pats of butter on top) this was super tasty (& exceptionally easy), because of its crisp, clean exterior, and magically fluffy interior. but my favorite variation yet is the pancake super muffin! i'd say A+ for presentation and variety! i used 1.5c flour for this one, and the muffin tops looked amazing! but you could probably still do it with the same old 1c recipe. remember to put a pat of butter on top; this may be the key to teir lovely color. oh, and i just always bake this stuff (muffins & biscuit) at 400 degrees for 10 minutes (my muffins needed about 12 though, remember to watch when you bake) next idea... use as batter for frying?? (probably remove the oil from the recipe for that one)
