I used 2 teaspoons of baking powder, instead of 2 Tablespoons; I used only 1/2 teaspoon of salt; I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla; and I used 3 Tablespoons of melted butter in place of oil. These turned out DELISH!!!!!

I cut the baking powder down to 2 teaspoons, added the 1 tsp of vanilla, got rid of the vegetable oil, and added some cinnamon while cooking and they were great! My family loved them.

This is a great recipe! I decreased the baking powder to 2 tsps, added 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp. fresh orange juice. Everyone raved about them. I tossed pecans in for those that like them, blueberries for others and there were no complaints. Also for the little ones, I add a couple of drops of syrup right before I turn them the first time, and they eat them on the run! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

Before I even read the reviews I realised that 2 TABLESPOONS of Baking Powder was obviously a typo for this recipe. I used 2 TEASPOONS like others, and this recipe turned out so light and fluffy! I also omitted the oil as I'm not a fan of extra fat in my pancakes. I halved the sugar and served them with real grade 3 maple syrup and they were so light and tasty.

Very Good! I made a few changes: only 1 t. of baking powder, only a dash of salt, added 1 t. of vanilla, and added a dash of cinnamon.

This recipe was awful! I definately added the vanilla, and cut the baking soda by a teaspoon...If you put an actual teaspoon of salt, it is too much! I would try putting 1/2 the amount or less, next time. Then, maybe this recipe can be salvaged:-)

These pancakes had to much baking powder and salt. They tasted awful and were flat.
