Doesn't the baking powder makes its bubbles and run out, leaving behind flat batter?

I think people commenting need to qualify what they consider a pancake in their posts. Baking powder is definitely new to me, I'm used to { flour, eggs, milk }. With baking powder you'd get a sort of... flabby dough thing? And... pancakes for breakfast? I'm guessing its something US-specific.

And if it is a US thing, I'll just mention the pancake soup here.

  • yup, I make crepes (not small thick US pancakes) only with flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt, though we call them pancakes here

    • Same here. Do you make soup from the leftovers the next day? For people not familiar with this, you let them dry out a bit overnight, then cut them into thin strips and cook them with chicken stock and chives.

It depends on the other ingredients. If you use buttermilk or seltzer (which you should), then don't let it rest more than 5-10 minutes.
