I am not sure what happened to the reviewer before me, but mine were great.  No hair dye or ammonia smell here.  I might suggest to the poster to get fresh ingredients and try again and re-review.  It is a shame to base a bad review on bad ingredients.  Then maybe a name change would be in order to "checktheupdatedreviewstoo".  Anyways, after reading many reviews of less salt and add vanilla, that is what I did.  I don't claim to be a pancake making expert but my family members are pancake EATING experts, and they loved them.  It poured out just fine.  I used 1/3 cup to pour out, making 3 at a time on the griddle.  They had beautiful color once flipped, wonderful texture, and fluffed up just fine for us.  Not too thin and not too fluffy, so no worries about whether or not they cooked all the way through.  I liked the idea of letting it sit an hour to overnight for fluffier pancakes, but I never plan that far ahead but would like to try that sometime.  I had made other pancake recipes from here but thought it was just easier to make out of the box since the others tasted just okay.  These pancakes from this recipe were very tasty and easy enough to make that I don't think I need to buy a box mix again.  Thank you dakota kelly for sharing your Grandmother's recipe with us.
