The Very Best Store Bought Pancake Mix

[@MashedFood]

What is your favorite store bought pancake mix?

[@marybetoo]

Hungry Jack that you add milk and egg to is the best. I don't like ANY of the complete/just add water mixes.

[@fredwerner30]

I don't agree with their review of Krusteaz mix. They claim it's inconsistent and sometimes too tough. The secret is THE LET IT SIT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AFTER MIXING. It will rise. Do not mix again when you place it on the griddle. Just take a scoop and place on griddle. Spread it out if necessary. It will be so light, you'll have to put an anchor on it to keep in on the plate.

[@johnvaldez407]

Any brand is good for me, just so I make it my own 🥞🧈🍳🥓

[@cubabound2049]

I don't have a favorite brand, but have many in the pantry. I always add spices to the batter so they don't come out bland at all.

[@5610winston]

Hungry Jack Complete is the best of the "just add water" varieties, better than most of the "add eggs, oil, and milk" style mixes. Of course, there is also home-made (flour, sugar, salt, buttermilk, eggs, oil, a splash of vanilla if you hanker for it, baking powder and baking soda, and yes, both baking powder and baking soda are essential to give the best fluffy result). The dry ingredients can be mixed up to a week in advance and stored refrigerated in a sealed jar or air-tight plastic (horrors!) bag. The home-made, properly proportioned, is the best tasting as well as the least expensive.

[@nastee10]

I grew up on Hungry Jack and Aunt Jamima. But, a few years ago I discovered Jiffy Complete Pancake Mix and it blows both of them out of the park! Jiffy has the best cornbread mix so it stands to reason that they make a great pancake mix. You guys really need to try Jiffy and reevaluate this list.

[@jngibson24]

Interesting, I've never seen Jiffy pancake mix!

[@sonyacowles8597]

Thank you for standing up for Jiffy. In the vid, I was waiting for them to be shown. But, not mentioned at all?! Personally, Jiffy is my go-to for baking mixes. And, as you stated, the cornbread mix is the best!😊

Jiffy is really good and I like their piecrust mix too both a great price

[@francisjaniewski5990]

Here,here. I agree! I have one if you want different. I mix 50/50 jiffy corn bread and Golden malted flour. I am 67yr old and I was quite surprised. I used our new waffle maker. Best waffle I ever had!

[@angelaholmes8888]

[@cgroom23]

People (including me sometimes) pack the mix into the measuring cup instead of pouring it into the measuring cups and scraping off the excess. Too much mix results in batter that's too thick.

[@sundae6969]

My favorite brand is Kodiak. They are high in protein and delicious

[@vinaymulukutla358]

My friend who is a powerlifter and personal trainer who co-owns a massive gym somewhere on the East Coast often raves about Kodiak and states the importance of it's high protein content. I hope I can find it in the UK.

[@kimtodd1803]

I have tried Krusteaz brand blue box complete. I was so surprised. Fluffy and moist. What I learned read directions. Don't over mix and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Which I never have. It's best to be patience.

[@andresinsurriaga1082]

I like that one too. The only thing I add is a little salt to the mix.

[@tuter1972]

1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup boiling water with 1 teaspoon baking soda and you have perfect pancakes! Add 1 egg for perfect waffles!

Good to know, just bought some as an experiment because the price was decent. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

[@bobsteadman9728]

Okay, these are friggin' pancakes. I repeat pancakes. They don't have to be high-end as your gonna dump syrup on them. Preferably with a couple fried eggs in between cakes with bacon or sausage on the side. Call me simple but I'm a '60s-'70 welfare kid and this was the highlight of our life when the weekend came. Every now and then we got lucky and were treated to a fine dining restaurant that had more than one syrup option. You may have heard of it, it's called IHOP.

[@bobsteadman9728]

@Yourfather1372 I was a child and it was not my choice. My mother had to work two jobs so we kids had to fend for ourselves. One of the first things I learned to make was Bisquick pancakes with the obligatory Aunt Jamima. On a rare occasion, we may have had bacon (Granted it may have been burnt until I got it down. But syrup makes everything better.).

[@bobsteadman9728]

@Yourfather1372 So, as a young mother of three young children you got to do what you have to do to survive. I had to go to the store with food stamps that basically barely covered us. Ate a lot of friggin' beans and PJs. I won't apologize for my circumstances as a child as I had nothing to do with it. If you want to be judgmental so be it, but I'm proud to say that I and my wife of 33 years raised 3- grown kids, and all though there were tough times financially we never too welfare. I also served my country as a Marine and later as a cop and retired.

Hungry Jack is the best tasting pancakes for being so simple. Been eating Hungry Jack pancakes since the 1970's.

[@skibik64]

Being a single male that cooks for himself I had always used Hungry Jacks, the stuff you add the egg and milk to. I did not like the complete kind that you add water to, it just tasted plain. I tried a few different brands but they were all the same to me. Then a couple years ago I figured out I could make better tasting pancakes from scratch and haven't bought a boxed mix since.

[@rsoubiea]

bisquick made with buttermilk used to be amazing.

[@mqbitsko25]

Krusteaz. Never had a problem with it. Even makes halfway reasonable waffles if you're in a hurry. I fluff up an extra egg white and incorporate it for waffles.

[@steveurbach3093]

I make mine 1 cup to 1 cup water, and I add oil. OTOH My waffles are Bisquick origianl

[@jamiecronin967]

2 eggs, 2 cups of self raising flour, 1 cup of milk, pinch of salt. Beat all ingredients well. Pour some batter into sizzling butter. Cook for about 30 seconds. Flip. Cook for another few seconds.

Southern Biscuit Mix Formula L ! Really good Pancakes and Biscuits!

[@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler]

Sadly, too many big corporate food producers like Betty Crocker and others have been slowly dumbing down our tastebuds. They've been swapping out quality, flavorful ingredients with cheap, tasteless ones in their never-ending quest to save a buck and maximize profit margins. The result is that they dish out flavorless, mediocre food products! This corporate cheapening process has been occurring for awhile across America's mass-produced food spectrum - and not just in pancake mixes. If you've recently tasted Cracker Jacks, Raisinets, or Tyson chicken (supplier to KFC and many grocery stores), then you've noticed the inferior, regrettable quality of their taste and texture as compared to these same brands about a decade or two ago. I guess they thought that if they made these ingredient substitutions gradually, we wouldn't notice. But too many of us do - and we'll spend our money elsewhere on better products that actually tantalize our tastebuds. Instead of maximizing profit shares, their greedy sleight of hand only hurts their branding and drives away customer loyalty. It's a recipe for how to ruin a legacy of deliciousness. - from Thomas L. Pilling

[@meauxjeaux431]

Your list could go on for hours, and still just be getting started. I don't understand how any company thinks they will make more money by driving away their once loyal customers, because that's exactly what happens. I NEVER buy their products again. Bad word of mouth is their worst enemy, and that is what happens. No amount of advertising can overcome that. Don't get me started on all the downsized, but higher price crap either...........

[@NorthcoastPatty]

I always us Bisquick with milk, butter, & egg yolks, and I beat the egg whites and fold them in = fluffy tasty pancakes.

[@andresinsurriaga1082]

Yes, folding in beaten egg whites will make them spongier but it's also a lot of extra work so I use Krusteaz and just add a little salt.

[@mayasolomon7243]

Okay, I am only on the second mix ranking and I already have an issue. The video says that an issue with Bisquick is that the mix contains milk and eggs but like, those ingredients are kind of needed, in most cases at least, to make pancakes. If you're allergic, just make your own allergy-friendly pancakes.

[@donaldriffle4249]

It is obvious many of those pancakes were fried in oil of some variety. Ever notice the many freckled surfaces. A better way to make amazing looking pancakes is to use a dry skillet or griddle and add a table spoon of oil directly into the mix. Very few people will never recognize the oil. Your pancakes will become a single color. 375 degrees seems to be a great temperature. When the bubbles begin to form is a good time to think about turning your pancakes. Sugar should only be added to regulate the browning process. Here is hoping you amaze those gather around your table the next time you fix pancakes. PS! The oil and sugar will enhance those waffles also
