This recipe was awesome! I made them for my daughter's friends after a sleepover and they all loved them. They were so fluffy and sweet. I used 2% milk but increased the lemon juice because I didn't have buttermilk and they still turned out really good.

Very simple and delicious recipe. I also just let my batter rest for a few minutes (20mins) before hand to speed up this resting process I let my buttermilk and egg reach room temp before using. The addition of the lemon juice is pure genius! The lemon juice (citric acid) causes an exothermic reaction with the Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate)....results...Bubbles! This makes for lots of fluffy airy pancakes...This is why I love baking...it's like being in chemistry class but with edible results:-)

I so wanted my family to love these, and unfortunately, I used a new griddle on my stove that apparently I had a hard time with the heat. The pancakes looked beautiful but were under cooked in the middle. Sooooo....for the ones that were cooked they liked the flavor, but for the rest, a gooey mess. I will try again since this is a great way to use up extra buttermilk and the batter looked and smelled amazing. So I will go in the middle on my rating because of my error. Thanks for the recipe!

This were excellent pancakes. I usually only make pancakes on a special occasion and this recipe definitely made the pancakes special. I will be making these again.

These were really delicious and easy to make. I didn't have buttermilk so used the old vinegar and milk trick. They were a bit thin but the flavor was great.

Yum! A great-tasting, fluffy pancake! A SIGNIFICANT note though: Don't leave the lumps--my fault for not SIFTING my flour, I guess, but we ended up with some clumps of flour. Gross! While we were eating, my boyfriend asked what was different about this recipe... as I listed the ingredients, I realized I forgot the sugar! Delicious without it! :)

Pretty good pancakes. I prefer a fluffier pancake like my mom used to make. I'm not big on buttermilk pancakes. My husband said they are very close to the famous pancake chain.

Ye gods these were good! I don't like huge puffy pancakes, so I deliberately thinned them out abit, but for us they were perfect! I had to adjust for what I had on hand and ended up a) halfing recipe, b) I couldn't stand putting in all that oil so I only used about 1T of oil and used half and half for difference, c) used fresh lemon juice (2 good squeezes for a half), let sit for 20", then thinned out batter with about a dollop of milk. Ended up with 7 nice size pancakes - perfect for husband & I. Wonderful!
