Those crap batters from wal marts...... yuck. kids wont even eat um. I wanna make I-Hop good pancakes.
Call Jerry or Ken I have syrup from both places and it was excellent. Surely they know of good pancake mix. We use auntie jamima. If I need info on bull balls I'll call ya :)
at the Village Inn they mix some whip cream into their batter
it makes the pancakes light and fluffy
I-hop may do the same
AEBLESKIVER (Pancake Balls or Swedish Pancakes)
2 Cups Buttermilk ½ teaspoon salt
2 Cups Flour ½ teaspoon soda*
2 Eggs 2 Tablespoons Sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder* 4 Tablespoons Melted butter
½ teaspoon Vanilla liquid ½ teaspoon Cardamom
Separate 2 eggs and beat whites stiff, set aside. Mix all other ingredients together at one time and beat until smooth. Fold in egg whites last by hand.
Put about a Tablespoon of Vegetable oil or Shortening in the bottom of each Aebleskiver Pan cup, heat till hot. Pour about 2 Tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as it gets bubbly around the edge, turn quickly . “Danish cooks like to use a long knitting needle for this but a fork works very well.” Continue cooking turning the ball to keep it from burning, until a straw or knitting needle comes out clean, when stuck in the center. Serve while hot with Syrup, Jam or Powdered sugar. Loganberry jam is the Swedish tradition, availible from Ikea or on the net.
Swedish Pancakes can also be cooked flat, by spraying a pan with a “Good” quality cooking spray at 300°F to 325°F.
*Note that both baking soda and baking powder are used.

This recipe makes a big load of pancakes... but let them cool on racks, place in a storage bag, separated by waxed paper, and freeze. Microwave in the morning- no pain, no strain and I promise you will be the breakfast hero.
BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
3 Cups all-purpose flour
3 Tsp baking powder
1.5 Tsp baking soda
1 Tsp salt
5 Tbs sugar
4 large eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 Tbs melted butter
Mix all the dry ingredients, then in a separate bowl mix the wet stuff. Add the wet to the dry, and whisk to combine. Don't overdo it... there should be small lumps. If it is a little too stiff, add a little cold water.
Then let it rest for about 10 minutes. It will thicken, and some bubbles will form. Now it's time to make the cakes. Just do as you normally would, but these have a little more sugar, so make sure they don't burn on the bottom.
Try the freeze idea... breakfast in minutes!
My mother inlaw died at age 99. We have her electric waffle iron that she got as a wedding present. Its about 70 years old and still makes perfect waffles.
Believe it or not I ain't a big fan of pancakes. I put my maple suryp on boiled carrots and vanilla ice cream. yummmmm.
The best pancake mix, out of the box, I bought at Aldi's. Kids like pancakes.

add more flour if needed but more than 2 eggs is not a good idea
bisquick and vanilla extract
Snoqualmie Falls Pancake and Waffle Mix.

It is a really good out of the box mix IMO.
This stuff is good.

There's a big difference between the regular mix and the fiber mix thought. Regular is better unless you need to become regular.
I like using bisquick and chopping up apples in small pieces and adding cinnamon to the batter and fold it in after everything is mixed.
