Best pancakes I ever tasted (or waffles if you have a waffle iron)

My sons love pancakes for breakfast but with the English pancakes it takes about 5 minutes to cook just one, so I cook for ages to make enough to satisfy the appetites of two teenage boys.
So I adapted this recipe from bake.mom88's waffle recipe and they love them especially a stack :)
