Re: What brand of pandcake mix is the best???

Aunt Jemima is my preference too. I usually add an egg to the mix, and I like my pancakes small.  IMO they cook more consistently when small.

We always buy the King Arthur's Pancake & Waffle mix.

 

I also have purchased Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Baking mix.  It makes fabulous pancakes.

three different ways i make them.......from scratch (it is easy), using bisquick, and i have also bought the stonewall kitchen mix which is excellent.

Krusteaz.

 

I usually make pancakes and waffles from scratch, but in a pinch I use their mixes. My DD also uses them, and I've had them a lot at her house - yummy!

I use Aunt Jemima original mix and add vanilla to the batter for extra flavor sure makes a difference .I will caution you about the skillet it  will cook the pancakes really fast and you can have a mess. Skillet heats up and holds the heat.I used mine for awhile and just gave up. Cook with cast iron all the time but this grill had to go..... I have the oval skillets they use in steak houses and I would heat them to serve the pancakes on and have a mess on my grill pan.

I also like Aunt Jemima Complete. I think it does a very good job. 

 

If you need gluten-free, Bob's Red Mill makes a delicious GF pancake mix and it makes good waffles, as well. A bit heavy. I put whipped egg whites in my waffles (I beat one or two egg whites to almost stiff peaks and fold in the batter.) This trick makes the waffles crisp and light.

Re: What brand of pandcake mix is the best???

funny- i've been using my new lodge griddle for two days for french toast- comes out perfect-haven't tried it for pancakes yet- but will this weekend..wish me luck (i am familiar with cast iron-have two skillets for years that i love) I was just so tired of the non stick griddles (and expensive ones) i had that kept warping.
