Wife makes good pancakes but a few months ago she bought Kodiak Cakes mix. I like them better than hers.

Always check the date on your baking powder. Throw out anything past due or close. Or like grandma just toss it in with the flour stock.

I grew up eating scratch made pancakes very near to the recipe Jim posted. But the Karo syrup that my mom said was all we could afford, sometimes put a damper on them.
Now, I'm happy with Hungry Jack or Aunt Jemima instant & warmed Log Cabin syrup. I have switched from margarine to butter for a pat on top of the cakes & that seems to have made them better than most things I've changed.
Now;
Cake or link sausage with the flapjacks?

One trick I’ve learned is to substitute 1/2 the milk for heavy cream or half and half. Makes for very fluffy pancakes.

Several years back some cooking outfit did a test of the boxed pancake mixes and judged Hungry Jack to be the best. We tried it, liked it, and have been using it ever since.
Sometimes the wife will add an egg to the mix. It beats most of the restaurant pancakes I've had.

Similar to the one I use, Jim. I sub whole wheat 50/50 with the AP flour. A tablespoon or two of yellow cornmeal added is a nice textural element.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

We buy the Coyote brand buttermilk mix in Canada. A good scratch is hard to beat.
We also like the Rogers syrup.

Snoqualmie Falls mix is my favorite.
IMO, a good pancake ain’t a big deal but a good waffle is hard to come by!

West coast stores and Costco sells Krusteaz. Substitute cheap beer for the water. 'Bout as close as you can get to sourdough with no hassle. Make the batter thin for lefsa style, or thick for cake style.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

That's the standard mix. I think they're better if you let the batter work overnight in the fridge. And of course you know all baking powder is not the same, find your favorite.

Best cakes I've found are........believe it or not.......a store brand, "just add water" mix called "Best Yet".
A neighbor taps a chitload of my trees. He keeps me in pure maple syrup.

Interesting that so many like the mixes.
My wife never had a store bought pancake till we got married.
We buy Krusteaze because she does not like a dense pancake....like so many home made are.
These were not.
All I have ever seen for sale is the Bisquick and Krusteaze.

Real pancakes are dirt simple. One of the easiest things you can make. Pure cane syrup is the best thing you can put on them. None of that maple stuff in my kitchen, and no box mixes. 😜
