Make a well in the center and add remaining ingredients and mix till smooth.
Over medium heat, apply butter, oil, or non-stick spray to a griddle or skillet.
Dole out portions of pancake batter to your liking.
When small bubbles begin to appear and cover most of the uncooked side, it's time to flip.
Cook remaining side for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Favorite standards for our family include Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips, and/or blueberries.
If making pancakes for a small army, preheat your oven to 250 degrees F and keep the initial pancakes warm until they are all fried and ready to serve.
If you're not acquainted with real maple syrup, do yourself a favor and pick some up, for this purpose especially. You won't regret it.
