I mean, if you're going to go fancy, may as well go all the way. <br /><br />I have to say that with all that yeast I really expected the pancakes to rise more, but these were actually quite a bit thinner than my usual pancake recipe.

I think it had something to do with growing up on a farm and only having one sister (five boys) - they all had to learn to be pretty self sufficient. Oh & made the pancakes on an electric griddle.
