Fluffy Pancakes

This recipe came from allrecipes.com.  I already have a homemade pancake recipe, but from the reviews this sounds way yummy!

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
cooking spray

  1. Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
*Recommendations from the reviews:

-The pancakes will start to "foam up" after you stir them. Resist the urge to stir them again. All those bubbles is what makes them so fluffy. The batter will be very thick and difficult to pour at this point. Also, as others have said, this does not serve 8. In my house, it serves 4.

-I forgot to add the butter, and they were better than ever. Lighter, taller, fluffier! Soaked up the syrup and kept its texture!

-let the milk "sour" a bit longer added a teaspoon of vanilla and sugar

-Do not overmix these and let them sit for a 1/2 hour after mixing before frying

-Add 1 1/2 cups blueberries.

-if you exchange the milk for buttermilk they are really thick and need to be watered down

-add mashed bananas to the recipe but it didn't take awy from the flavor
