The flavor was good but there is no way to mix these properly in a blender. Pancakes ideally should be mixed just until blended together and the blender over mixes them so they turn out tough. Pancakes should be fluffy and rise up about 1/2 inch when they hit the pan. These are very flat and dense.

If you're thinking these will turn out like Bisquick pancakes, find another recipe! The batter came out a little more runny than I expected. I let it sit for about 5 minutes & it thickened up a tad, not much. The pancakes were as another reviewer stated, crepe-like. I did 1/2 the sugar, extra vanilla, & they did taste good. My kids wolfed them down & said they liked them, so I guess I'll try again & see if I get a better batter next time!

In New England, home of maple syrup, all restaurants serve thick, thick, dry pancakes. I won't guess the motivation or historical reason (sop up more maple syrup?) but I find eating these pancakes like ripping open your sofa's cushions and eating the stuffing. Even maple syrup won't help that. This recipe, which I halved, makes pancakes that are more crepe-like. I like that they're a tad chewy and not thick and dry. I did not use the blender method. All other pancake recipes call for minimal mixing, even leaving some lumps in the batter. I hand whisked the mix. I suspect blenderizing would quickly lead to a homogenous batter.

I thought the batter was too thin. So i had to add a cup of flour and add more baking soda so they rise a little more. The pancakes had a wonderful flavor too them! My daughter who is and can be picky sometimes loved them!

Wonderful pancakes, I used 2/3 of suggested sugar and added a cup of flour because I love my pancakes thick :) So there's plenty of room for your personal modifications to these wonderful and easy pancakes! Greatly recommended!

I would consider these to be a perfect "no syrup" pancake, so in terms of quick and easy (kids running out the door..) they're perfect for a hand-held breakfast. The sugar the recipe calls for is probably less than what you would find in syrup. I added an extra cup of flour to thicken them abit.

I ran out of Bisquick this morning and went to Allrecipes and searched "easy pancakes" and this recipe came up. It was easy and "the best " according to my teenage boys. I mixed it by had in a bowl because a blender is too noisy at our house in the morning! I have saved it to "My Recipe Box". No more Bisquick pancakes in our house!

These really are super easy, but to reduce clean up, i'd definitely just whisk the ingredients in a mixing bowl instead of dirtying my blender. As for taste, they really are quite sweet. i'd reduce sugar to 1/3 cup i think. you already top pancakes with syrup or other sugary toppings like jam, so there really is no need for the pancakes to be as sweet as they are. these pancakes weren't fluffy like traditional pancakes, which i like, but if you want fluffy pancakes, these aren't the pancakes for you.

This is Ok. Most of what the other reviewers are saying is right. They are dense, bland, not worth the time you save. My pancake-loving son wouldn't finish one and neither did my daughter. I gave it 4 stars because it's edible and once you put butter/syrup on them, it masks the flavor.

My husband loves "crepes" and I recently used a mix that was fine, but there was not enough mix leftover for the next time he wanted them. I found this recipe and they were very good and easy to make. I filled them with a mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, raspberry freezer jam and dash of vanilla. I rolled them and drizzled more jam and topped each one with the cream cheese mixture. My husband really enjoyed them. He will want them a lot...not sure I want to make them every weekend, my kitchen is a mess now! This is the only downfall, but the recipe is a keeper. Thanks!!

Like the idea of the blender. Was quick and easy. I ended up using 1/4c sugar and added cinnamon and 2 bananas for fun. Although they were dense the family did enjoy them.

For a simple pancake these are really good. I did cut back on the sugar to 1/2 cup and they were still pretty sweet...not bad, but since they get topped with sweet stuff I think I will cut back to only 1/4 cup next time. They aren't super fluffy, but that made it easier to spread stuff on them...my daughter loved them in place of bread for a PB&J. :)

Did not like these too much. They were SO sweet, even after I cut the sugar back to 1/2c. They weren't very fluffy either, came out kind of flat and soggy.

These came out pretty well. I followed the advice of other reviewers and whisked the batter by hand. I also reduced the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup and found it to be plenty. I made this in two batches and made half with chocolate chips, half with blueberries. Will probably make again.

After reading the reviews on this recipe, I decreased the sugar to 1/2 cup. My 11 year-old, who eats his pancakes plain, proclaimed these too sweet. No one else noticed because their pancakes were covered in syrup.
