I have not used a pancake mix since trying this recipe one year ago.  I have followed the recipe exactly and they came out tastey and fluffly.  It is very important to sift as instructed in the recipe.  After reading the reviews, I sit my milk and eggs out for just an hour prior to preparing the pancakes.   Now, for my variation on the recipe.  I typically add about a teaspoon of Vanilla, two teaspons of cinnamon, and one teaspoon of nutmeg, sometimes a little more of each.  I aslo add about 1/4 cup of walnut pieces and one sliced medium banana.... soooo good.
