Sure, pancake mix is convenient. But is it really hard to mix a few separate ingredients for a far superior end product? No. So I always make my pancakes from scratch. And I've used this recipe twice now. The only alteration I make is the addition of 1 tablespoon of vanilla and I use a scant teaspoon of salt. The type of salt you use changes the saltiness of your recipe. The larger grained kosher salt will make a less salty product than the same amount of salt that typically comes in baking canisters. Anyway, this is a great basic pancake recipe and ready for any sort of add-ons your little heart desires. Oh and I must mention I've made these with regular milk and with buttermilk and either way is a winner!
