Are you wondering what the best pancake mix brand is?
Looking for a basic pancake mix that everyone will love? And a recipe that is free from preservatives and is light and fluffy?
This homemade pancake mix is so easy to make, inexpensive and turns out fluffy pancakes every time.
Pancake mixes are so convenient, but some of them are just not that great tasting. Would you agree? So I was shocked when on a camping trip, I found out the most delicious, fluffy pancakes were made from a mix.
But....not just any kind of mix. This homemade basic pancake mix recipe with this amazing buttermilk syrup recipe on top. These pancakes were just as easy to make as using a Krusteaz or Bisquick mix, but had no weird after-taste and were still super fluffy and so good!
