      You can use plain or greek yogurt instead of sour cream 🙂

    Can you use almond milk in place of regular milk?

      I have not tried using almond milk but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Let me know if you try it, Maela! 🙂

    can you use powered buttermilk instead of sour cream & milk ?

      Yes! The sour cream does add a nice fluffiness to the pancakes though 🙂

    Thanks for the recipe. I was able to add powdered eggs, cinnamon, milk and sour cream so I can dry seal them in a jar. This is great! All I have to do is add water:) whoop hoooo:)

    This recipe is soooo nice! I really like the idea of always having a “dry mix” ready anytime so that you just have to make the “wet mix” . I’ve just made one batch of this and my husband ate like 3/4 of the pancakes 🙂
    For the wet ingredients i mix them quit a lot, like 5-7min so that I have many bubbles to be sure my pancakes will be fluffy. The sour cream is really a plus that gives the pancakes a soft taste.
    Thank you sooo much for this recipe, i’m waiting for my 1 year old son to make him taste them and i’m pretty sure he’ll loove them 😉

    Can I substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream? I just hate to ask about a substitution when you have a really good, well thought out recipe.

      Hi, Susan! I have not tried that substitution in this recipe, but it works as a great substitute in most recipes. I say, give it a try! 🙂

    We love this recipe!! The flavors are wonderful. My only wish is that they were a little fluffier. These always turn out pretty flat, even when I’m careful not to overmix, and let the batter sit without re-stirring. Any ideas on how I might get a little more “rise” out of these otherwise wonderful hot cakes? 😉

      I’m glad to hear you love this recipe, Andria! As far as getting fluffier pancakes, make sure you really beat the wet ingredients together well. You want to incorporate lots of air into the mixture – that will make the pancakes light and fluffy. Then just very gently add the dry ingredients. Hope that’s helpful 🙂

    Do you know if they can be made without the sour cream? Does it affect the flavor? Could milk be used instead? This recipe looks yummy, I just don’t always have sour cream on hand.

    Is the purpose of the sour cream to make it more like a buttermilk pancake? Would it affect the batter too much if left out?

    can you leave out the sugar and the salt? Both are so bad for you, and I’m looking for a healthy recipe since the packaged stuff has GMOs.

      Hi Laura! I’m sure you can leave them out but it will effect the flavor of the pancakes. If you try it let me know how they turn out! 🙂

    I've tried the recipe and LOVE the taste…SO yummy. I like to halve the pancake mix recipe for my guys, since I usually don't have 8 cups flour, on hand. I've noticed the pacakes are pretty flat, so didn't know if I needed to make any other adjustments in the leavening ingredients when halving the mix recipe? Thahks!

    I liked the part about freezing the one that doesn't get eaten, seems like there is always enough batter for one that no body can eat.

    Thanks for sharing this. I love pancakes, but don’t like paying for the pre-mixed stuff because I’m never quite confident about their ingredients. Will be trying this mix soon!

    If you haven’t already, I’d love if you’d come join my How To Tuesday link party, too.
