Mmmm....pancakes....most recipes are kinda similar in terms of the batter, but sometimes a little flair in technique can make the difference.  My preference is for buttermilk as the liquid, and I like to separate the eggs and whip the whites, folding them in at the last minute, just before pouring them into the pan.   Makes for a fluffier pancake.  AND...as a proud Canadian, our maple syrup rocks
