School me in pancakes

Considering I used to earn a part of my living cooking, I'm ashamed to say I have not mastered the humble pancake. I made pancakes for The Man this morning and they were... adequate. What's your basic recipe, basic technique, pan used, vegetable oil or butter? All the tiny details, please.

these aren't your basic pancakes per se but I just made them last weekend and they were delicious...

buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup apples

you can cut the recipe down considerably for two, especially in terms of the amount of maple syrup it calls for.

I confess I make Bisquick pancakes, but the whole family loves 'em so I'm not going to apologize. I make my batter fairly thin and use a dry nonstick skillet, no oil. 2 cups baking mix, 2 eggs, milk to the proper consistency. Then I let it sit for a few minutes as I would do with crepe batter, then recheck consistency and add more milk if needed. Fairly hot pan — they'll be thin and will bubble pretty quickly (after the first batch, anyway). Even with thin batter, they puff up and get nice and fluffy.

Jamie Oliver's pancakes are quite good. Whipping the egg whites makes them nice and fluffy.

Or for an excellent mix try Robby's, used by many restaurants.

OTM. It's one of the few concessions I'll make to convenience. For years I bought or made expensive whole-grain mixes, but there's really nothing like the taste of hyper-processed Bisquik grain
