Perfect Pancakes
I am not sure why this recipe uses an additional 1 cup of milk for 1/2 the recipe and additional shortening.
Also, the sugar is mentioned in the ingredients but the recipe doesn’t mention when to add it. If it were me writing this recipe I would say to mix the sugar in with the eggs and milk.
I have never prepared a homemade pancake recipe and use shortening into the recipe. I am very tempted to try this recipe to see how they turn out. Also, when I make pancakes I normally use bacon grease as my base to cook them with. Yep, just a little wiped on the bottom of the pan to give my pancakes a little oomph.

Milk and shortening at the bottom of the recipe are not in addition to the original amounts listed, but rather are the revised amounts if one is halving the recipe.
