I would have liked more cinnamon/spice flavor. I'm still experimenting with it - it's a good base. I used 1 1/4 c. mix with 1 c. milk as others recommended.

Overall easy and quite yummy! I made the dry mix and presented in a mason jar as a stocking stuffer for my boyfriend who loves breakfast. The recipe is quite thick; I tend to use a little extra milk than called for.

I made these as gifts and never tried them myself so I can't attest for their flavor. The mix smelled delicious. I ended up mixing all the ingredients together. If you layer them, your recipient is forced to mix it all together themselves and refill the jar or make the entire batch at once. (Otherwise all the cinnamon will be on top.) I bought cinnamon maple syrup and apple cinnamon tea to compliment it in a gift basket.

Haven't actually tried these myself but I made up a bunch of jars to go in my Christmas baskets. As stated before me, if you plan on using this recipe at different sittings, you really can't layer it in the jar. So I mixed it all up together and added chocolte chips to the mix, and now my family will each of their own Chocolate Chip Pancake mix for Christmas! I sure hope it tastes good and not justs look pretty!!!

oh my gosh, these turned out so fluffy and just perfect!!! i used rice milk because of dairy allergies with one kiddo and found i had to add a bit more than what the recipe calls for but that just might be due to a different consistency. i will definately make these again and again!! however, my 4 year old prefers little thin pancakes...but i presume it's so she can taste her chocolate chips better that i always add in. oh and i also did half whole wheat flour and added pecans. super super good!!!!

This recipe is awesome. I would like to state that I'm not doing the gift jar idea but merely as a premix for myself. I went with 5 tsp of cinnamon as others have suggested as well as 1 1/4 flour and 1 and 1/4 cup of milk (as I felt the batter was still too thick for my tastes.) All in all, it came out great! I have it ready for another day. I am quite happy with this recipe and will make it again.

I've not made these pancakes but on principle, I wouldn't make pancakes with veggie oil as this doesn't usually yield the fluffy, easy to swallow results most want.

This was a nice idea and tasted pretty good, but the pancakes were thin and heavy rather than light and fluffy like with Bisquick. May have to try an adaptation. The flavor was great, though!

Very good. I did make some modifications as other suggested- more cinnamon, 1c milk per 1 1/4c mix. I also cut back on the baking powder to make them less dense. Much better that way. Have made them for my son without the sugar & really couldn't tell the difference.

I often give my family "food in a jar" gifts for Christmas but like to change it up from year to year, so I thought this would be a great recipe. I always try the recipe before giving as a a gift, and I am glad I did with this. They were OK pancakes, but I did not find them to be light enough or sweet enough, although they did have a nice cinnamon taste. I am thinking that I might be able to adapt a different pancake recipe to put in a jar, though, so this is certainly a great idea!

This is the first time I've made pancakes from scratch. They had a good taste and I followed the other reviewers advice about adding 1 cup milk and 1 1/4 cup batter. Next time I think I will add a bit more cinnamon. I will definitely make these again.

This made a fabulous gift!! Definitely use 1 1/4 cups of mix to make the batter - otherwise it'd be way too thick! And make sure to mix all the dry ingredients together instead of layering them because it's impossible to scoop out mix before mixing it. Great flavor and a wonderful gift.

I'm giving these out as Christmas gifts this year, so I wanted to try out the mix myself. I followed everyone's advice of adding 1 cup milk instead and they were wonderful! I will also be mixing all the ingredients instead of layering, because most people won't make the entire jar at once.

After adjusting the recipe to 1 1/4 cups dry mix and 1 cup milk- they turned out wonderful. This then makes 3 equal batches per jar (recipe given makes 2 1/2) Someone suggested cinnamon chips- they were great! We are putting the mix in zip lock bags and then in Christmas cloth bags tied with rafia. Thanks for everyones ideas and suggestions- they were quite helpful.

This was a great creative gift idea! I enjoyed making these for family this Christmas. I did though discover that some things might be hard to fix, like the fact that if a person does not want to use the whole jar at once, if you do not mix it up before hand it would be hard to use. In that case, I premixed all the major ingredients and at the very top put chopped dried apple pieces and attached a clear plastic bag with cinnamon chips. I heard good things from the recipients who whipped these up!!
