These old-fashioned pancakes are fluffy inside and crispy outside. Onion adds nice flavor. Mom got this recipe from Grandma, so we've enjoyed it for years. -Dianne Esposite, New Middletown, Ohio

These were really good! We liked them best when I made them thicker. Will use less oil next time. I made a double batch and had lots of left-overs. They were great warmed on a plate in the oven.

I also like chives or finely chopped green onions for little difference.

We love these as a meal or side dish and they are great leftover. They warm up nicely in the microwave or toaster oven.
