I just moved outside the US and you can't just find premade "just add water" pancake mix (or any pancake mix for that matter) in the stores here, which is what I usually use because I'm lazy.  But I really love making pancakes and not being able to buy a mix didn't stop me from making them.  I found this recipe online and after I figured out what the name for "baking powder" was here, I got all the ingredients and made the pancakes.  They came out really awesome.  And they were not too difficult to make either.  When I return the the US I will keep this recipe on hand for when I want more than the "just-add-water" kind can give me.
