Fluffy Pancakes

The recipe for these pancakes claimed that they were similar to the pancakes at Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.  It lied.  While I did not think they were even close to the Perkins version, I did think they were very fluffy!  They weren't incredibly sweet, but that just meant that I could pour even more maple syrup on them :-)

They were simple to make and really quite good.  I would make them again.


Perkins Restaurant and Bakery Pancakes

Ingredients: 
4 cups baking mix
3 extra-large eggs, beaten
2-1/2 cups club soda, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:
1.  Place the baking mix in a large bowl.
2.  Add the eggs, club soda, and melted shortening.  Using a wire whisk, mix until there are no lumps, but do not overmix.
3.  Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat.
4.  Fry the pancakes, using about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on the griddle for each pancake; use 1/2 cup batter for each pancake.
5.  Flip the pancakes over when you see open bubbles appear on the surface and the edges of the pancakes look dry.
