    Not your problem, but I’m just asking you since you brought it up - what’s the point of pancake mix? Pancake batter is literally just flour, eggs and milk

      I can whip up pancakes from a mix in 5 minutes without a single brain cell activating. It’s a good emergency ration in the pantry.

      Like when you REALLY want pancakes at midnight. Now. 😀

      Isn’t there a bit more? A touch of sugar and some baking soda for puffiness and stuff?

      And sugar, salt and baking powder.

      If you do no other baking and just want to make pancakes, buying powdered mix is easier to manage. plus there’s less measuring at the beginning of a morning meal.

      I’m a bit of a baker, I like to keep 10 or 20 pounds of flour on hand, and I’ve been known to make 5-pound batches of homemade pancake mix because I ain’t measuring baking powder while the coffee is still brewing.

        That’s not how pancakes are made where I’m from. We have flat pancakes here, more like crêpes (but a bit thicker than that)
