I need a great pancake recipe that makes them as fluffy as the box kinds (Aunt Jemima, etc.).!
I've tried a ton of recipes but none seem to be fluffy enough!. I don't like pancakes dense and heavy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like this one from Alton Brown!. I keep in airtight container and it stays great! Don't have to worry about keeping it longer than 3 months!.!.!.!.it's usually gone by 1!!!!
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (check expiration date first)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container!. Shake to mix!.
Use the mix within 3 months!.
"INSTANT" PANCAKES:
2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups "Instant" Pancake Mix, recipe above
1 stick butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups fresh fruit such as blueberries, if desired
Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F!. Heat oven to 200 degrees F!.
Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl!. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter!.
Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined!. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix!. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together!. Don't try to work all the lumps out!.
Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle!. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface!.
Lightly butter the griddle!. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel!. (No butter should be visible!.)
Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired!. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes!. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set!.
Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel!. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes!.

Here's what I do to my pancakes!.
I use the bisquick mix as directed on the box!. Then I add some brown sugar and cinnamon after I've mixed it up!. You don't need to add a lot, but enough to taste - I usually add some and then taste a bit of the batter!. I pour out the batter on the griddle and add bananas to it!.
Now those are some good, doctored pancakes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I usually use Bisquick!. The recipe they have on their box requires milk, sugar, lemon juice and bisquick mix!. I don't know if you're trying to make them completely from scratch, but the Bisquick recipe makes them really fluffy and tender!. Hope this helped!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
