Notes

You can add up 2 tablespoons for this recipe but just note that the more vanilla you add the darker the pancakes will come out.* The eggs make the pancakes more fluffy, But if you want to omit them then they will still turn out fine.**You can substitute the whole for more buttermilk if you desire, however, I HIGHLY recommend using the whole milk as well.** *You can use cooking spray instead of oil, but if you want those nice crispy edges and buttery pancake flavor then use butter and oil instead.
