Recipe for the Best Homemade Pancakes

While several mixes are readily available in the grocery aisle, pancakes "from scratch" can not be beaten. But have no fear: basic pancakes are remarkably fast and simple to create, and there are several fast and tasty versions. There is even a web site filled with a variety of pancake recipes that you could make at home. My grandmother passed this standard recipe down to my mother and aunts. It is a household favourite.
