Pancakes.

Forget your flour and buttermilk malarky. The ready made mix makes a much nicer pancake. Won't be swayed.

Never heard of using buttermilk in a pancake mix. Think that's where you were going wrong.

You can do for a bit of a lift. Always had better success with the ready mixed though. Cooks and tastes better.

If you think the ready mix are better you're obviously making them wrong,

These are the ingredients listed for one on sale in Tesco. There must be quite a bit of sugar to have it listed second. I would go for a plainer set of ingredients.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour, Sugar, Fat Powder (contains: Palm Oil, Glucose Syrup, Milk Derivatives, Stabiliser: Pentasodium Triphosphate, Anti Caking Agent: Silicon Dioxide), Baking Powder (contains: Sodium Bicarbonate, Disodium Diphosphate), Whole Egg Powder, Egg White Powder (contains: Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid, Foaming Agent: Triethyl Citrate), Salt

I never liked buttermilk in pancakes, can taste that tang and I don't like it! Have never bought a mix though, flour/milk/egg, no sugar needed in my opinion. If you want the fat ones use baking powder with the flour and make the mix thicker.

Mix is handy for people who don't have a bag of flour at home or need for the remainder of one if only buying for pancakes.

Flour eggs and milk. Mix, rest it for a while, overnight if you’re organised. Would not like the long list of ingredients in Tesco mix.

1 cup of flour, 1 egg*, milk, baking powder, butter, vi

Place half the milk with some butter in a microwave and heat until butter starts to melt, add the remaining milk. It should be warmish, add a small bit of vinegar. Let it rest a while

Separate the egg white, whisk the white until it's very bubbly

Mix the flour, egg yolk and milk and when well mixed "fold" in the egg whites

Some of you have strange ways of making pancakes.

I sometimes do the whisked egg white thing but more for waffles but sometimes for thick pancakes too but it's more of a faff obviously but you get a lovely light pancake or more what I would call a drop scone.

I add a bit of sugar to mine as well.
