Additional Trader Joe's Buttermilk Pancake & All Purpose Baking Mix notes:
Using a scale for weighing, instead of a measuring cup:
1 cup of this pancake mix (packed down) = 7 ounces
(Unless otherwise specified, eggs are optional, but not really necessary.)
Chocolate version: Add 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons of
cocoa powder to the aforementioned cup of pancake mix. Add semi-sweet chocolate
chips as well (about 3/8 cup should suffice) for a great chocolaty taste.
Chocolate chip cookie dough version: Fold 3 1/2 ounces of this cookie dough,
finely chopped, into the batter prepared with the aforementioned cup
of pancake mix (in other words, first combine the pancake mix with water
and/or other liquid ingredients, then add the cookie dough afterwards).
Orange version: Add 2 tablespoons of grated orange peel (rind) to the
aforementioned cup of pancake mix, and instead of adding water to this
mix (per package instructions), substitute orange juice.
Lemon version: Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of granulated
sugar to the aforementioned cup of pancake mix, mix together, then add
water until desired consistency is obtained.
Almond version: Add 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of almond
extract to 6 ounces (rather than 7 ounces) of the aforementioned
pancake mix for a "touch" of almond flavor (or use 1 tablespoon each
of the granulated sugar and almond extract for an easily strong enough almond
presence).
Cinnamon roll version (my attempted answer to an IHOP limited-time offer
from the past): Using the aforementioned cup of pancake mix, prepare
pancakes the regular way with water, but also prepare these two toppings as
well:
1. Cottage cheese (not cream cheese) icing (mix together 1/2 cup of whipped
cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of
vanilla)
2. Cinnamon "filling" (mix together 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1
tablespoon of cinnamon, and just enough maple syrup to obtain a thick liquid
consistency)
Use both of these to top off the pancakes.
Cookies+creme version: Add about 7 ounces of chocolate sandwich cookies (with
vanilla creme centers), broken up, to the aforementioned cup of pancake mix
(a helpful example would be 28 Oreo Thins cookies).
S'mores version: Add about 7 ounces of graham crackers, ground up (or broken
up), to the aforementioned cup of pancake mix, along with about 1/2 cup of
milk chocolate chips (such as Hershey's) and about 1/2 cup of miniature
marshmallows (packed down).
