Recently my knack for making pancakes seemed to have faded beyond recognition. A few weeks ago I made a batch that turned out depressingly heavy despite the detectability of the baking powder in the flavour (tasting baking powder and baking soda is one of my pet recipe peeves). It's true that I'm used to winging it a bit when it comes to proportions and maybe I've veered far enough off course to warrant an informed correction.
