      Are pancake mix even that useful, btw? Aren’t pancakes the example of something quick and easy?

        Depends on how easy you need. There are pancake mixes that only require some water.

        This is a “simple” non-buttermilk recipe

        2 cups all purpose | plain flour, (290 g | 10 oz)
        1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, (60g | 2 oz)
        4 teaspoons baking powder
        1/4 teaspoon baking soda
        1/2 teaspoon salt
        1 3/4 cups milk, (440ml)
        1/4 cup butter, (60g | 2 oz)
        2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
        1 large egg

          Or keep it simple instead: 1 egg 100g flour Add milk while stirring until nice viscosity is achieved

          And off to the pan you go, add a drop of oil between each pour when not using non-stick pan.

          I never add anything else like sugar or butter to the mix. I don’t eat pancakes “pure”, I add jams, honey or syrup afterwards. It’s a simple base food like plain bread.

        Is measuring out 2 items easier than measuring out 10?

        It’s useful, but not as good as scratch-made… especially the “just add water” varieties. But quick.

      I’ve only ever seen pancake mix in either a re-sealable bag, or just a box; never a bag in a box.
