Do you make pancakes from scratch?

Before I am kicked off of the board for good, thought I'd create a non political post.

So, do you make your pancakes from scratch or a do you buy a fill and shake bottle from the supermarket?

Also.....how important is maple syrup? Too American or too tasty?

Easy cleanup is my choice so I just buy the maple or banana flavored and fill it with  water and woolah.

Bananas/whipped cream and maple syrup!

Home made pancakes with lemon and sugar.  Maple syrup sometimes but it has to be real maple syrup.

Sometimes from scratch sometimes with a shaker.

You are supposed to make them with plain flour I think but I often make them with SR they become fluffy

Maple syrup and cream

real maple tastes a tad off, every $9 - $10 funny shaped bottle I buy just tastes a tad off.

So it's back to the artificial 99% sugar stuff.

Maple on bacon and eggs = Canadian breakfast.....ewww

Homemade, only buy real Canadian Maple Syrup. Lemon & Sugar is nice too.

Maybe you are so used to the artificial maple syrup, the real stuff tastes strange to you? I have heard others say the same.

Yes, I do make them from scratch.

I have tried the bottle mix and thought it was disgusting. Tried both banana and strawberry. They tasted too floury or something. The ones I make from scratch are so much nicer.  Maple syrup is OK.

I make them from scratch, I mean how lazy can you be.

Does anyone use buttermilk in their homemade pancakes (cafes do)?
