No, but, lemon poppyseed pancakes are the absolute best

Better change that name
Captbobarino
I like using corn muffin mix, call them Johnny Cakes. With real butter and syrup or honey, I think it's a southern thing.
MunchkinMommy
We did this, and they were delicious. And for everyone saying there’s a lot of sugar, these only need a little butter, as opposed to syrup
friendlyforager
Can verify! Add a bit of oil to the banana nut!
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
Or take it a step further and make God nervous: Pancake. Fucking. Souffle.
lookylookyigothooky
I buy Aunt Jemima "just add water" stuff.
MotherFukaJonez
Been doing this with Jiffy for generations...
MDMDesigns
Tried this once, they just don’t turn out great...
Kiwiwhovian
Its cheaper and healthier to make your own but sure
Zuegma197777
Finally sumthin useful in imgur.
LadyKahluaSin
Aww man, used to make a pie from one packet. And then eat it in one sitting. Good ol college days.
ericruff
2 Cups flour, 3 T sugar, 1 1/2 t baking powder, 1 1/2 t baking soda, 1 1/4 t Kosher salt, 2 1/2 C buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 3 T melt butter.
Hatrax
Watch out- the reason these taste so good is that the sugar content is ungodly high.
CapnPawsome
And their what?
redshiftbanjo
This is an ad.
mrmayortheiv
But.... Muffins are better than pancakes...
NuclearMonk
But people look at me funny' when I pour syrup over muffins.
MountainPsycho
Don't eat syrup muffins outside.
mrmayortheiv
Just make cornbread muffins! No one can complain then.
benkey1
Jiffy Mix even has the pancake proportions on the side.
WARHAMMER405
Jiffy Mix cornbread FTDW.
benkey1
Haven't made them in a couple years, but corn pancakes cooked on bacon grease are a good start to a day.
dordiebob
my mom always made us Jiffy blueberry (muffin) pancakes.
cntrfldr
Kids: "We want cake!" Gaffigan: "No! You can't have cake for breakfast! How about some pancakes?"
Jaqdakloun
Thank you.
SnowMeowPlush
Muffin, the breakfast cupcake. Seriously make your own pancake mix, lordy do you know how many calories those are?
jonathantoast
It's really not that hard to make pancakes with different flavors either.
hqnolan
Came for the snobby make your own comments. Wasn't disappointed.
Jaqdakloun
Aren't they just flat muffins ?
Wilize
That was what I was thinking, how is that ever gonna be a pancake and not just a flat muffing
ThailandExpress
Jesus christ, how much sugar does that add? lol sugar is the second ingredient in the wild berry muffin mix
sadurdaynight
they're basically donuts with less fat. it's dessert for breakfast.
dynamited222
Its pancakes. They are supposed to be filling and sweet.
TrapsAreIllegal
People acting like pancakes aren't already unhealthy as crap
Munchman347
Yeah, who eats pancakes without butter and sugary syrup?...
Cheomesh
I like them with yogurt.
comacomacomacomachameleon
or just make pancake mix... it's just flour, sugar, and baking soda
khora
And you don't need sugar, and baking power only if you want "American" pancakes.
SithElephant
Baking soda, I got baking soda.
pppppppppppppppppp23
Yeah but the point is the different flavors.
theheebs25
baking powder, though baking soda can be used if needed. also a little salt and egg.
dmelli
It's about the different flavors. You've completely missed the point...
GoBiggsOrGoHome61
I think you missed the point about the different flavors
BrilliantButCowardly
Do you suck the fun out of every party you go to?
BetterCakeFarts
The only sucking they don't do involves ddick
LittleLatinBoyInDrag
Stop being a taggof.
VagrantDust
I see a significant lack of buttermilk here.
khora
That's not in the powder you buy. How do I know? It's powder.
Captbobarino
And sour dough starter, where is the sour dough starter???
VagrantDust
You know what's funny is that my mom just now bought me sour dough starter. I'm about 3 months late to the dad, but here we go.
VagrantDust
*fad damn autocorrect
TacticalMoosez
Baking powder*
Captbobarino
Maybe even a tablespoon of lemon juice to activate it for puffyness
TacticalMoosez
The trick is to sift it in with the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix only enough to get all ingredients wet.
TacticalMoosez
I’ve not tried the lemon juice thing. They’ve always come out pretty fluffy. But now I’m gonna have to.
Captbobarino
Apples, blueberries, bananas, process them minced for pancakes sooooo much easier than a packet.
VaardArk
In all fairness, bananas take very little work and blueberries take none
4TheSDMB2C
Not everyone has the money or wherewithal to have those all on hand in the right proportions.
4TheSDMB2C
I see there's folks who prefer to think there are more stupid folks than poor folks, probably b/c they can't do anything for stupid folks.
TacticalMoosez
Although they’d probably spend less on those ingredients than 10 different packages of muffin mix
4TheSDMB2C
If they have $2 till next week for a kid's fun meal, they're getting 2 mixes. Also assumes knowing what makes what & many just don't know.
TwoBadMiloshDead
No money for flour and sugar, but money for cupcake mix? Is there anything cheaper than flour and sugar?
4TheSDMB2C
You can't buy the small amounts of those ingredients, has to be a bag that runs $2-3; the mixes shown are less than a dollar.
TwoBadMiloshDead
$3 of flour will make a bajjilion of pancakes.
4TheSDMB2C
They don't need a bajillion pancakes, they need to feed their kid cheap & fast. It's not everyone, but it's many people in that situation.
4TheSDMB2C
Yes! You get it! They don't have $5-6, but have $1-2; this is less money & the mix costs less money so they buy it b/c they have less money.
NuclearMonk
But if they are poor, why do they think they're entitled to flavor? Flavor is for well-heeled among us.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Quick search on Walmart.com says that premade pancake mix costs around 3-4$ for 15oz. Flour and sugar are both 2$ for 4 pounds.
TwoBadMiloshDead
This makes pancake mix 8x more expensive.
Captbobarino
But the apples and Cinnamon in the muffin packet, it's for a one off in a hurry. Sure you could plant an apple tree, and grate some Cinnamon
hardytardigrade
Much healthier, without additives and stuff
butthurtnevergetsbetter
A small pinch of salt really makes a difference, too.
yeahiheardaboutpluto
And touch of vanilla
Mylibu
....and nutmeg
TwoBadMiloshDead
And my axe
RepresentativeOfNorway
I also choose this guy's dead wife
AnythingMuchShorter
yeah who would have thought you could find a trick to get kids to eat something with a ton of sugar and no nutritional value?! Amazing.
Dudedeedood
Lmao my first thought was well no shit they like it, more sugar.
culinarydream7224
Thank you! Just bake them the damn brownies if all you're just gonna skip right to dessert
ForTheDumps
I'll have a brownie any time of day!

Aka when my husband excitedly says he managed to feed our picky son, when what he really ment is he gave him fudge cookies
sadurdaynight
Wife and I have the nephews over for a sleepover. We think "we're gonna be so great. we're gonna cook breakfast for them in the morning." 1/
sadurdaynight
We're so exhausted from them previous day, that I wake up and roll over to tell my wife "I'm gonna go get donuts". She says "god, I love 2/
sadurdaynight
you." thinking I'm helping b/c we're both tired. The truth was I just wanted 30 mins kid-free to collect my sanity. Completely selfish. 3/
sadurdaynight
The nutritional value of breakfast is the furthest thing from your mind when you're just trying to keep up with kids./
YouAreMyLuckyStar
European here. Is this really easier than making pancakes from scratch? Adding the milk and eggs is the fiddly bit isn't it?
screamedatbykids
“European here” as if all Americans eat this crap. They don’t! It does look good though
LovePat
I loved the round pancakes in The Netherlands!
0TwoSandals0
Camping...
railgap
You communist!
TheQuark
Americans like mixes. Yeah there's like 7 ingredients in pancakes, but people buy boxes so it's 2. I'm American and I don't get it either.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Milk, sugar, flour and eggs for flat EU crepes +baking powder for fluffy American pancakes.
davefive
Making scratch is just better. Fresher and fluffier pancake ! Take it from a guy who has made a lot of pancakes
nnugles
I make pancakes & waffles from scratch often. My kids would still find this muffin mix pancakes fun. Seems like a good camping treat
buffalowineguy
Oh, I like "fiddly bit" WAY better than "tricky part".
IllBeDamnedifIGotoHell
The way I see it, it’s you finding a recipe you really like and buying most of the ingredients pre-measured.
Aaronb1138
Most american's can't figure out how to flavor things. Especially adding any sense of nuance in flavoring.
ChuckItInTheFuckItBuckett
Do you really not get the jist of this post. Adding eggs and milk is the “fiddly” part to you!?
lilmookieesquire
It's not. There's literally nothing fiddy about pancakes. It's just tastes nice because they add sugar and stuff that people normally don't.
rrlyrae
premade mix saves 15-30 minutes of prep time. important if you're groggy or have grumpy impatient eaters.
whatcolorisblue
“Fiddly”
HeartsAndStars
I make pancakes from scratch and a dedicated mix. But a little fun, lazy creativity ain't so bad, is it?
jonathantoast
It SEEMS easier, but I don't think it's really that much easier.
YouWereSupposedToBeBulletPoints
Also, one big important factor y'all are missing: European pancakes are NOT like American pancakes. American = Fluffy/sweet. European = flat
kilomasu
there are some Europeans that like fluffy. Pancakes in Ukraine /Russia are also (I think) typically fluffy (cf. immigrants from there)
LoneOrtolan
This. This is super important. Lived in UK a year, had to make from scratch because they weren't fluffy and my wife would NOT have that.
PapaSammich
This method makes flavoring the pancakes much easier, is all. Also helpful if you have the crave, but no pancake ingredients.
DemSumBigAssRidges
Going out on a limb and saying if you don't have flour... you probably don't have these laying around...
PapaSammich
Amazingly, there as always seems to be a package; likely due to needing two of them to make enough lol
scellers
Like... Uhhh... Flour? It's helpful if you're missing flour?
AJMansfield
The chemical leavening agents and emulsifiers, mainly, pre-dispersed in precisely the required quantity.
thelaud
I feel bad for your pancakes if you're only using flour
PapaSammich
Yes. Amazing the things you simply can't just walk into stores and buy without thought. TP, wipes, flour, eggs...
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Isnt it just flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder?
mrputter
Usually some kind of fat (e.g: butter or vegetable oil) in there as well, and not uncommonly, sugar.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Yeah there can be, though i usually add that on top as I use whole milk in leu of adding in fat
mrputter
(My recipe also includes a bit of vanilla but I admit that's a bit of a deviation from the bog-standard recipe.)
LithiumGrease
you can make chocolate chip pancakes with only flour, milk, and eggs? Please share you recipe!
DemSumBigAssRidges
The point is, you're probably not stacking up on these if you don't already have the ingredients to make pancakes.
Yourforgottenleftovers
scellers
Well to make crepes all you need is flour, milk (in recipe above), eggs (in recipe above), butter (ok I guess you could be out of butter?).
scellers
I agree it's not flavored but I can't imagine a case where I'm out of flour & butter but have muffin mix and crave pancakes :P
gatorwatch
There was a few weeks flour was in short supply during the TP debacle, so this isn’t the worst idea in a pinch. Or for camping etc
Infinias
Apparently flour is harder to come by than this instant mixing... probably even more expensiv...ah, America...
Captbobarino
Instant variety in the different flavors, don't be boring.
Varenvel
it gets me too , egg flour and milk is something everyone has
Captbobarino
Great variety in the different flavors of mixes, don't be boring. Ahhh Americans, tsk tsk, always wanting flavors.
YourDepression
I buy flour incredibly cheap in Oklahoma...
theradead
I believe 'twas a joke about our economy
TheZacAttack
Hey I live in Oklahoma too! Nice to meet you!
Starcatcher1986
There's no place it's more expensive, and I've never seen those muffin mixes before. But if you don't cook, you might not keep flour on hand
rshini
I used to do product demos, Martha Whites is ridiculously good, also constantly got mobbed all day while baking and serving them.
Soufange
Don't forget the baking powder. My pancake recipe is pretty easy, but baking powder is the stickler ingredient
Magpiebones
I've seen pre-peeled potatoes in some markets...
CynicalPuss
My lazy ass sometimes buys a saran wrapped tray of lettuce leafs, sliced tomatoes, and sliced oniins..."hamburger fixins"
Phoenix0rion
(1) I could understand that if you were only using them for that occasion. Like I buy a head of lettuce but I'll use big leaves as sandwich
Phoenix0rion
(2) leaves but dice the smaller ones for tacos or whatever. I try to only buy one tomato or onion at a time cause they're not used a lot
CynicalPuss
Last week I bought a head, and did just that...but I feel wasteful because I can't eat a whole one before it wilts
Cheomesh
That seems like it would get kinda...oxidized.
Crokkodrill8
Everyday baker in US bakes from bags. Mixing eggs flour milk baking powder and then adding a real banana or cocoa? Who are you a chef?
gaiidraws2
Wait really? It's not hard to create the stuff in bags from a handful of cheap ingredients
Crokkodrill8
of course there are exceptions. There are very good cooks in the US too. But people like it easy. Pay 2x, eat who knows what, save 3 min
gatofeo
Heathens....
SqueakerBot
Nah, it's cheaper if you don't bake often enough to have flour and baking soda on hand. Those packets are $1 each.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Who does not have flour and sugar in his kitchen?
SqueakerBot
Someone who doesn't have much time for baking.
LieutenantScarecrow
You underestimate how lazy us americans are. I bought a 10lb bag of dry mix I just have to add milk. 2 ingredients and a bowl.
LieutenantScarecrow
Throwing in a pack of this and an egg is nothing
TwoBadMiloshDead
As opposed to making it from scratch out of 3 ingredients and a bowl.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Well, maybe 4 if you add eggs.
LieutenantScarecrow
I'd love to read your recipe for 3 ingredient pancakes
TwoBadMiloshDead
I corrected myself to 4. Flour, milk, eggs and sugar.
