I am no expert, but I find if I make the batter and let it sit aside
for an hour, it makes much better pancakes. To be honest, I use just
bisquick, fresh eggs, extra amounts of whole milk - sometimes:
bananas, vanilla and sugar. But the action of the stuff in the
bisquick, when given the time, makes it bubble and get light and airy.
My pancakes can soak up a lot of butter for sure.
