Packet pancake mixes are great. Particularly Aunt Jemima's buttermilk mix. But really it doesn't take much more time to make your own with this recipe and it is better. This recipe is the secret formula that always works a treat. The fresh buttermilk gives so much depth to the taste and texture that it will ruin you using packet mixes forever. Adjust the water content to get thicker or thinner pancakes as desired. Add more sugar if you want a sweeter taste or a touch more salt for savoury. This is my breakfast version.
Maple syrup has become all the rage and it is good. But I was brought up on and prefer CSR Golden syrup.
This is the real formula for the World's best tasting pancakes.
Making your own Butter and buttermilk is really easy. See the recipe
