Great pancake recipes

My ex-MIL made the best pancakes I’ve ever had.

Let me describe - they were tender and fluffy inside, and both sides were a perfect golden colour that was never too brown. Did I say they were tender and fluffy, and were a perfect vehicle for loads of fresh butter and either pure maple syrup or some great Summerland Sweets drizzled over everything?

I’d live to make something like that this Christmas Day, however of nothing comes up, it’ll be a Dutch Baby with suitable toppings and a side of some thick-cut nicely smoked bacon.

Thoughts?

EDIT: For those that think this isn’t a Victoria post - the idea was that by giving the description, someone may identify with my description and may actually lead me to the actual holy grail recipe. My ex-MIL is now unavailable to ask. Tx.

EDIT #2: Thanks to all the kindhearted souls who responded to my ask - glad that the spirit of the season is touching folks here in Victoria and they’re not too dogmatic about a Victorian reaching out to other locals in this sub with a unique ask.
