Best pancakes ever...

I have found this pancake recipe in the Internet and it has been the best thing ever. I make it almost every weekend with chocolate chips and kids just love it. Last weekend we had two sleep overs and the recipe has been approved by other kids too.

The recipe is from;

There are few changes/tricks that I have;
1) I use 2 tablespoon of butter instead of 3
2) I use a packet of baking powder instead of the 3.5 teaspoons. It is still fluffy and wonderful...
3) I put tiny piece of butter to the pan before pouring the batter for each pancake. This makes the sides of the pancake crispy.
4) If you make them with chocolate chips, there is little need for maple syrup. Some kids like it even plain.

I like my pancake with wheat germ sprinkled on top. It gives it a nutty taste and it is good for you. I had it that way in a breakfast place in California and since then, I like it...
