Excellent!!! These definitely come out fluffy!!! I used melted butter for the shortening and accidently doubled the sugar. I doubled the recipe and it fed four, not eight like it should have. Since I only had four to feed, it was okay. I had hoped for leftovers but there were none. This recipe is very quick to throw together. Unlike other reviewers, I did not see the need to sift the flour. I did use a whisk to stir the flour mixture and I also used the whisk to stir when I added the liquid ingredients. The batter comes out very thick and is a little difficult to spread. I debated adding more milk, but decided to leave it as is. I was glad I did. The pancakes came out very light and fluffy. I would suggest cooking these at a medium low heat. If you cook them at too high of a heat, they will get very brown on the outside, but the inside will not be done. Slower cooking will yield great results!!!! Definitely a keeper recipe!!! UPDATE: I have continued to make these wonderful pancakes but have been bothered by the amount of shortening. I decided to use 1/4 cup butter and then increased the low-fat milk by 1/4 cup. They still came out wonderful. I have tried thinning the batter, but find the pancakes do not come out as fluffy. They also taste great with blueberries. As mentioned above, cooking these slowly at a lower heat produces the best results. I find it best to cook just one pancake in the first batch. Once the pancake has browned well, you know your griddle is ready.
