I really like to make things from scratch. It is the best way to control what I am feeding my family. I've tried many pancake recipes over the years. One of my favorites comes from Rhonda Hetzel at Down to Earth. Her apple and cinnamon pikelet recipe is spot on. You can find the recipe here http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com/2013/11/apple-and-cinnamon-pikelets-in-20.html. A pikelet is a type of pancake found in Australia or New Zealand. I like this recipe for plain pikelets http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/easy-pikelets-L1305.html. I recommend buttermilk for an even better pikelet.
Today, I tried a new recipe for pancakes. I found the recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it this morning. I served bacon and venison sausage with the pancakes.

I doubled the recipe and it worked just fine. I didn't have buttermilk. I used whole milk instead and added apple cider vinegar. The vinegar reacted with the baking soda just as I expected. As a result, the pancakes were light, fluffy, and tasty. To make buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon vinegar to one cup milk.
For the chocolate chip pancakes, I just added the chips directly into the pancakes after I put the batter on the griddle.

Speaking of griddles, I an enamored with this cast iron pan from Ozark Trail. It was inexpensive, around $10 at Walmart. It was easy to season. In fact, we cooked pancakes using the cast iron pan on a Coleman propane stove when we were camping.

Doubling the recipe yielded 17 good size pancakes which would easily feed 8 people.
