    Here's a recipe from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook, one of my favorites:

    Pancakes


    Ingredients


    1

    cup all-purpose flour


    1

    tablespoon sugar


    2

    teaspoons baking powder


    1/4

    teaspoon salt


    1

    beaten egg


    1

    cup milk


    2

    tablespoons cooking oil



    Directions
    1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture; set aside.
    2. In another medium mixing bowl combine the egg, milk, and cooking oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).
    3. For standard-size pancakes, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. For dollar-size pancakes, pour about 1 tablespoon batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side or till pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Serve warm. Makes 8 to 10 standard-size (4-inch) or 36 dollar-size (2-inch) pancakes (8 servings).

    I guess I don't over think it... Been using Bisquick since I was old enough to pull a chair up to the kitchen counter on a Saturday morning at my Grandma's house and still have a couple boxes in the cupboard to this day... lol

    I just made these pancakes last night: http://www.fifteenspatulas.com/whole-wheat-pancakes/

    YUM! I accidentally added tablespoons of sugar instead of teaspoons though. Oops.

    Thanks :) I'll try this. I'm English btw, English pancakes are like Crepes but they aren't as thin, and they taste a bit more like batter (the ingredients are the same for Yorkshire Puddings) and they aren't really as uniform. But that is what I was brought up on on pancake day.

    I am an American who lives in Europe and can't get American pancakes out here. They all look like the ones in your picture. So whenever I crave pancakes from back home I make these ones which taste spot on:
