Add me to the "loves to bake" pile. Never really had luck with pies, so focused on cookies/brownies/muffins and such. Real belgian waffles? Yeah, I love every step.
For those of you who have problems with pancakes, are your ingredients fresh? Mixing dry into wet ingredients? Don't overmix, because I've found it kills them every time!!!!! If you want a virtually foolproof mix, pick up a bag of pancake mix the next time you're at a Cracker Barrel. Add a splash of vanilla and a dash of maple sugar (no not syrup, maple sugar) and they're great.
I'm still trying to replicate an amazing banana pancake recipe from some restaurant near the Oprah studios in Chicago that a sorority sister took me during a weekend visit. (Chicago GCers, do you know what I might be talking about, as I can't remember the name of the place, but there was such a line on a snowy Sunday morning before a Bears game?)
