Light and Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

We used to be a boxed pancake mix kind of house, but with this recipe for homemade pancakes the boxed mix is in the trash. In the video I cook them on the Blackstone. If you don’t have a Blackstone or another type of large griddle, turn your oven on the lowest setting so that you can keep the cooked pancakes warm and serve everyone at once.
