Is making pancakes from scratch worth the effort?

We all love being able to say 'I made it from scratch.' It gives you bragging rights and a little more pride and self-satisfaction. But honestly, there are so many great products on the grocery store shelves, it's not always worth the extra effort. And, in my opinion, in some cases, 'scratch' is not always 'better.' The troops seem to love my Applesauce Pancakes every other Saturday. I let them know they're 'Aunt Jemima' and when I see them gobbled up and how much they love them, my smile is just as wide....and I'm just as proud!

I came across this article on 'store bought' vs. 'scratch' pancake mix and I thought I would pass it along. The answer: "Save yourself the arm workout, because it doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in pancake fluffiness."

  1. Those pancakes look delicious! I've tried making pancakes but without much success. We don't have AHOP in Lakeland so IHOP is still my personal favorite.

  2. I love IHOP! An IHOP recently opened not to far from where I live and I love to go there. I'd like to know how they get their pancakes so perfectly round. ~ Ann
