I wanted to take that up too.. but hubs said he jealous.
He got no time to do it. And he said why would i wanna
learn it anyway.. Well i thought it was better than
drumming his head. :rotflmao:

Drumming sure would beat stress out of ya.
By that i mean the real drums not the head.. :lol:

Carmee Lim, the ex-RGS principal took up drums after she retired, we're talking about 60+. I admired her enthusiasm...maybe one day, I will take up drums as well...[/quote]Yeah, me three 2ppaamm! :celebrate:

Sama sama :lol: Yes, i must 'warn' you that when i share recipes, you wont find any measurements cos everything added suka suka lah

But soda has to be a pinch or 1tsp like you mentioned (once i 'overloaded' and the taste was.... :!: vanilla essence yea 1/2 to 1tsp according to your batter quantity.
Usually one egg for batter that makes 4-6 pancakes, depending on pancake size

The fact is it is not troublesome at all.... Pancake mix is the simplest of all to do for a quick fix of breakfast as long as you have flour, milk and egg.

Also, I often wonder why there's no egg required for the pancake premixes... maybe they added some artificial egg in there or something...

To get over the baking soda part, just use self-raising flour, I think it should work.

To each his/ her own lah :celebrate:
I used to buy pre-mixes too and always add milk instead of water even latter is only required.
My boys love pancakes and if i did not hve the pre-mix then v leceh when they ask and I cant make for them. :roll:

Since we buy plain flour to make pizza and other Indian rotis, i experimented one day and it turned out great! And as you get used to it, its really easy-peasy Just try once if you have the ingredients at home

Its not just about preservatives alone, its less costly and you can make it healthier by adding flaxseed or wheatgerm etc, less packaging etc etc

I shall keep my eyes open next time I go sheng siong. So far i hve only seen a variety of flour...
