I am lactose-intolerant/can't use cow's milk, so I substituted the milk with vanilla rice milk. This is a great recipe! The proportions are easy to reduce for 1-2 persons, too. Follow the directions for the batter, but reduce the milk to 3/4 cup of rice milk. I refrigerated the remaining batter for tomorrow!!! Thanks, Nigella.

So simple, so much less expensive, and a much lighter and fluffier pancake than the pre-packaged mixes. These make rather thin pancakes, but I found that mixing 1 1/4 cup of the mix with the egg, milk, etc. instead of 1 cup makes the batter more like we Americans are accustomed to. They certainly didn't taste "eggy" or "powdery" to me. I will certainly keep a supply of this mix on hand, and won't be paying 3 times as much for a box of Bisquick anymore. I added a diced Granny Smith apple, some cinnamon, and served with maple syrup. A total "hit" at my house.

I followed the recipe carefully. Loved the idea of throwing away the box. But the pancakes jut weren't that good.

Well, first of off, I cut the recipe in 1/4 and found that I had to add a bit more milk to get it to the consistency to where I wanted it. Secondly, I didn't have any baking soda so I totally skipped it and they STILL came out awesome. Lastly, I added some lemon extract for a little flavoring and WOW! I also added the blueberries in the pancake mix instead of making the blueberry syrup because I had no maple syrup. Let me tell you, no matter how you play around with this recipe, you will never go back to box again. DELICIOUS!

Loved these pancakes. My husband didn't even realise that it was not from a box for the store

My children have not gone back to the mix from a box since I have made this recipe. The only thing I changed was using cake flour instead of all purpose flour.

My kids love these pancakes!! My kids friends love these pancakes!!! I always use very good vanilla in the batter and they come out great!! My kids get pancakes almost every morning. It' what they ask for. The blueberry syrup is very easy and very tasty.
The first batch that I made, came out very thin. So the next time I made them I mixed the dry ingredients very well. When it came time to make the batter, I mixed the egg, milk and butter together then added the dry only until incorperated (leaving lumps. I found that if you leave the batter for a couple of minutes before dropping it into the pan you get a better result.

I love you Nigella! These came out more like crepes when I made them. I added another cup of dry mix to the egg, milk and butter and they came out much better. I guess I'm used to the American buttermilk style pancake.

I chose this recipe for it's simplicity and the fact that I will usually have the "batter" ingredients on hand. I found they were tasty but my son commented that they were "powdery".
