Do you think box mix pancakes are sometimes good? I am not too proud to be unwilling to admit that sometimes they are to me. However, there was a time when this pancake recipe was the only one I reached for. They are just good! And, they are an american classic – the american pancake. So if you’ve been only having box mixes, I won’t try to convince you to never again, but I will say this may be worth your while.
