    As my family knows, I’m not a fan of pancakes but these were pretty darn good

    Great pancake recipe! Made as written. All enjoyed. Doesn’t top my usual go-to pancake recipe, but it is a keeper.

    This is the go-to pancake recipe in our house. We rarely have the bananas and sometimes have the lemon zest. I promise they are just as good without. You can also sub the sour cream for buttermilk. The ideal pancake recipe in my opinion.

    Good to let the batter sit for a bit before cooking them. Found the smaller pieces of banana better than the big chunks. The vanilla and lemon were a good addition.

    My niece requests this every time she visits.

    Page 177. Yum! Great tasting pancakes. I would add a pinch more salt next time, but overall these were very good.

    Made 1 1/2 recipe. Sour cream gives them a tangy flavour. Nice and puffy. Good way to use up some sour cream. Repeat.

    We loved these pancakes. I dislike spongy/fluffy pancakes but these had a lovely thick, plush texture. They also cooked all the way through without burning, which is something I sometimes struggle with. While my family loved the bananas, I anticipate experimenting with other berries as this base recipe is so excellent.

    I used half white whole wheat flour. I must have made the pancakes slightly larger as I only got 9. The lemon went really well with the banana flavor. Delicious.

    Made with and without bananas. Excellent both ways. Easy. Delicious. No butter. Used low fat sour cream. They freeze beautifully.
