Semi-Homemade Pancakes (the non matchy matchy version)

This post is dedicated to Jordyn S.,  who made me remember that it had been way too long since I had updated it....

This is seriously one of the ONLY recipes where I actually start from a mix and doctor from there.  Unlike the ultra matchy-matchy, chunks of food floating in your cocktail version...this version is from the Diet Coke drinking, yoga pant wearing, pony tail having variety of cook.

Any young person I have ever come into contact with loves pancakes.  To me, they are just ok.  To kids....it's like the queen is coming to breakfast!!!  Go figure.

Ok, so you take regular Krusteaz and as you are making it like the package says...incorporate:

(Sascha, don't complain about the lack of measuring...)

A splash of pure vanilla extract (please, NEVER use imitation...yuck)
A splash of vegetable oil
A shake of cinnamon

Make as directed.  You would be surprised how much adding these few things really elevated pancake mix!!  Don't question it...just try it.
