🖨 Print & View 👁
Upgrade your pancake game with this clever hack that incorporates sour cream into boxed pancake mix for remarkably fluffier results. This simple addition creates a lighter, more tender texture while adding subtle richness to ordinary mix-based pancakes. Perfect for busy mornings when you want homemade quality with convenience, this adaptable technique works with virtually any commercial pancake mix for consistently superior breakfast results.
Ingredients
Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake Mix or your favorite pancake mix*
1/2 cup sour cream for each cup of mix
*amount determined by how many pancakes you make
Directions
In a bowl, stir together the sour cream with the dry ingredients until just barely combined. Don't overdo it.
Add all of your liquid ingredients, and mix until just combined. Again, don't over do it!
If your boxed mix requires eggs, add them last and mix until combined
Heat your pan over medium-high heat, and add a little butter or oil.
Drop batter by 1/4 cup servings onto the griddle.
Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and then begin to pop, and edges are starting to brown.
Flip to the other side and cook for another minute.
Serve with whatever you usually serve pancakes with.
Servings
Serving size depends on you.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
I adapted this from a scratch made pancake recipe to work with boxed pancake mix. I used Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake Mix, but I think it will work with most others.
I found this made the pancakes a little lighter and fluffier.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 What's Up With The Images? Well, originally, we didn't have any pictures of the food at all. Intentionally! Because I find those sites with so many pictures that it takes forever to get through the directions to be annoying AF! I mean, seriously, if you need a picture to show you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking!
Then I decided to add pictures of the finished product when I remembered to take them, which isn't very often. There are a very few recipes which actually show some cooking steps, but not in the middle of the directions.
Anyway, recently I have discovered that AI can make credible images of the finished recipe. Is that right? Is it moral? Are robots taking over the world? Don't know; don't care. But I promise that unless you are a robot, your recipes won't turn out anything like the pictures.
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
