Pete's Scratch Pancakes

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.

Excellent pancakes but would still use premixed. It's just easier.

    These are different breed of pancake and my family loved them. The batter is not runny, but sponge-like and they are very thick, but amazingly light pancakes. Often times you get a thick pancake that will tend to "grow" once it gets to your tummy making you feel stuffed as time goes on. This is NOT the case with these. First time around I made them as the recipe stated, but I am anxious to start making them with different combinations of flours and sweeteners.

    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.
