Why not just bypass the prepackaged pancake thing and whip up a batch of homemade pancakes?
I realize that just adding water makes things a bit easier in this hurry-up world we live in, but honestly it doesn't take any time to mix up a fresh batch of pancake batter and no worries over weird ingredients or preservatives lurking in there either because you know what went in it.
Heck you can even mix up several batches of the dry ingredients on your day off, stick them in cheap storage bags and then all you have to do is dump it in a bowl and add the milk and egg when you get ready to make them on a weekday morning!
Great belly filling kick start to a cold morning, just add some of those Little Sizzlers sausage links or some Jimmy Dean sausage patties, real butter, and loads of maple syrup ... talk about some good!

Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes
Posted at http://deepsouthdish.com/
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk*
2 tablespoons of butter, melted and cooled (optional)
1 large egg
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Butter flavor non-stick spray
Combine the 3/4ths cup of buttermilk, butter and egg. Stir the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt together. Add buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and gently combine, adding additional buttermilk if needed. Add vanilla extract if using. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat, spray the pan with butter flavor non-stick spray and spoon ¼ cup measure of batter into pan. When pancakes begin to bubble up and edges appear to be dry, turn over to brown the other side.
Makes about 8 depending on the size you make them. Doubles fine for a family.
*Can substitute ¾ cup of regular milk, but if you do, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and eliminate the baking soda.
NO BUTTERMILK? NO PROBLEM!!
Make a homemade buttermilk substitute using regular whole milk and vinegar. To a minimum one cup measure, add a tablespoon of vinegar or fresh lemon juice. Top with whole milk and let sit for about 15 minutes to "sour." Stir well, and proceed with recipe.

a wonderful recipe... AND A GREAT IDEA ABOUT MAKING A BATCH UP IN ADVANCE...
just as easy to make 5 batches as the first
This looks like a great recipe! I love adding buttermilk to my biscuits and pancakes,it just adds something to the batter.
Mmmmm..I want some now!
Now that I know these can be made in advance, I must try it.
Very good recipe as is but I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract, it was good as well..
First of all I will tell you that there is almost nothing better than my mom's buttermilk pancakes drowning in syrup! My kids are absolutely nuts for them just like I was at their age.
The problem is now, I am not my mother. I just can't get the dang things right. Mine aren't bad, they just aren't mom's. Sigh.
And now when I am feeling super lazy but still need to feed the critters in the morning it's all about the Batter Blaster! Blasphemy, i know. But hey, they're organic and better than any Eggo/etc.
Not bad for a morning shortcut as every day is a rush this time of year ....
Kelly I totally hear you. The Batter Blaster ones will never beat mine from scratch, period.
But in the morning when we're in a rush they are just what the doctor ordered.
Happy Holidays to all ......
Happy Holidays to y'all too and listen, I hear ya on the Batter Blaster for sure - especially with a houseful of young-uns wanting breakfast now! Homemade pancakes are a nice occasional treat for those slower weekends though - so be sure to treat yourself sometime!
