As written, these didn't work for me, the batter was almost as thick as muffin batter and I had to throw the first batch away.  I then added more milk and thinned it out and it was fine.  Oh, and I guess I did make a few minor changes, used less salt as recommended and 1 tsp vanilla.  I didn't find these bitter or salty at all, but I do think the vanilla helped.  It is better than Bisquick or Aunt Jemima though.
