Learned to make pancakes when very young.
Always white flour, and sifted at that. Corn meal was for corn bread not pancakes.
Always put just a little vanilla in them (Grandma's secret, couldn't event let Mom know).
For my 6th birthday Grandma gave me a whisk to make better pancakes.
If we had pancakes, I was the one that mixed up the batter and cooked them.

None of the pancakes I get anywhere match my good old home made pancakes. If out somewhere usually get waffles, a couple sides of bacon and a ton of butter. Wash em down with ice cold milk. Their pancakes are too smooshy and fall apart when you add a little syrup and butter.

When got a little older and adventurous culinary wise added things like bacon or balogna as I panned them to cook.

One of my brothers wouldn't eat pancakes unless I made them.
