Pete's Scratch Pancakes

Recipe #5170 | 20 min | 15 min prep | 9 6 inch pancakes (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Brother William

It was the Fall of 1987 when Pete Nyhus walked into our office, just to visit. We started talking about breakfast, and he reached into a wastepaper basket and pulled out a scrap of teletype paper. He wrote out this recipe, and my family has never used pre-mix since.

    Brother William's story is classic. These are the best pancakes ever! I cooked them on my cast iron griddle spraying with a little cooking spray between each cake, to give each that extra crispness. The recipe is simple and easy to follow! fabulously delicious pancakes!!!!

    very easy to make,about 5 minutes. the recipe made 9 pancakes 6 inchs round fluffy very light. I was pleased that butter and syrup didn't "water log" the cakes. You could add any fruit in this recipe. Overall these were the best I've ever made. thank you dansa111

    I made these pancakes this morning for the family and they were great! I found them to be light and cakey. I think the melted butter is what made them so delicious. I'll be using this recipe from now on. Thanks Bill.
