Tips:
- • Try adding ½ cup, fresh or frozen, blueberries, sliced bananas or desired fruit to batter.
- • Try adding chopped nuts of your choice to batter.
- • Try adding ¼ cup oat bran. Increase liquid by 2–4 tablespoons to desired consistency.
- • Try adding ½ teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
- • Replace the butter and syrup with fruit and yogurt for a healthier alternative.
- • Use powdered buttermilk. It is less expensive than fresh buttermilk and has a longer shelf life. Reconstitute according to package directions.
- • If no buttermilk is available, replace it with 1¹⁄3 cups milk and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar.
- • For thinner pancakes, add an extra 2–4 tablespoons liquid.
- • For thicker pancakes, reduce liquid by 1–2 tablespoons.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
