Liked them better with more sugar and a bit of vanilla, but very good. Didn't let the batter sit long enough but still very good.

I think these were a good fluffy pancake recipe. One of my boys did not like them, but the others in the family scarfed them down. I did add vanilla to the mix. And more sugar than was asked for...but all in all, a great breakfast for dinner recipe!

We really didn't like these. The flavor was not yeasty in a pleasant way at all. With enough syrup, the children ate most of them, but there were some left untouched which I had to feed to the chickens. That never happens with pancakes around here, and I've occasionally made some hockey pucks, lol.

I made these pancakes with half organic whole wheat flour and buttermilk. I made no other substitutions. These turned out absolutely perfect. I did not have any myself but to cook them, they puffed up perfectly and smelled awesomely yeasty. The kids flipped for them. I made Absolute Best Pancake Syrup to drizzle over the top, the kids couldn't stop "mmmmm-ing". This recipe's a keeper. NOTE: If you're worried about flavorless pancakes, perhaps remove a tablespoon of milk from the recipe and add a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Using buttermilk worked well for us, instead of regular milk.

i was really excited to try this out because i love yeast flavor, but these taste too yeasty & bland. i read some reviewers 'doubled' the sugar. i halved this recipe, but i did use 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sugar. 2 tsp of almond extract & some blueberries. i did enjoy the other qualities like the thickness, denseness, texture. these were heavy pancakes, so i could only eat 2 when others i eat 3-4. i will try this recipe again, but i will attempt to balance out the yeast flavor by adding at least 1/2 cup of sugar (i don't like sugary things, but this really needs more than 2tsp of sugar!!)

These tasted a little yeasty to me, and sometimes getting them to rise properly takes longer. If I have time I'll start with 1tsp of regular yeast and twice the sugar, then put the batter in the fridge over night. They always rise enough and the flavor is less yeasty that way. Still a great recipe though!

I thought these were quite tasty. One thing I liked about them is that you don't have to be as picky about mixing as with regular pancakes- so I let my 5-year-old do the mixing without worrying about it! BTW- if they hadn't turned out I would have assumed I had done something different, not that the rest of the reviewers made another recipe. I'm a very good cook, but don't think I'm infallible. Sheesh, some people's egos...

While these pancakes were lite and airy, they really lacked in flavor. Easy to mix and make and let's face it anything is good with butter and syrup. I won't be making these again-there has to be a more flavor full pancake recipe out there. Not bad, just not good enough to waste the ingredients and effort on.

My continued quest for the perfect pancake brought me to your recipe. I have never tried a yeast one before, and I have to say these were very very good. I cut the recipe in half except for the sugar and I also added vanilla. I only made and ate one for now, it is afterall 2 a.m. so I will make some more in the morning also. Thank you for a great recipe!

Loved them so much they never made it to the table. My 4yr old and I dipped them in chocolate syrup and gobbled them up while still cooking (quarter recipe). A Tbsp of oil in the pan fries them into delicate cripsy pancakes while less oil makes them fluffy and soft. Heavenly. Great alternative to sourdough pancakes. You can actually have these when you want, not 4 days later. Bravo Dorothy!
