Awesome Pancakes

This isn't a recipe, so much as a way to change a recipe or mix you already have.

My Grandpa taught my brothers and I that if you substitute Non-Diet white soda (Sprite, 7up) for half of the liquid in a pancake recipe, the pancakes will fluff up higher when you cook then. In our family, that means putting 7up in the Bisquick mix.

The other thing Grandpa taught us was to drop a small amount of solid shortening (Crisco) onto your griddle and let it melt. Then pour your pancake batter into the middle of the now liquid shortening. It acts as your non-sticking agent, and it makes the edges of the pancakes nice and crispy.
