PANCAKE PROBLEM

That's a great idea to use the buttermilk stuff! I have a similar
problem, I drink skim milk for less fat, but it doesn't make very good
pancakes. Will have to see if I can find something like that in Denver.
Where are you located? This sounds like it might be a local product.

I find that heating a tbsp. water in the pan until it disappears
before adding the butter, oil or whatever you use seems to solve this
problem - everyone a winner!

Hi all,
Everytime I make pancakes, the first two always stick to the pan, but
after those the rest are fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or should
I just think of it as a sacrifice to the gods of flat food?

No, I'm pretty sure it's a nationwide (US) product. Saco buttermilk
blend, in a round package in the baking section. Should be at your
supermarket. Keep it in the 'fridge after it's open. It's not as good
as real buttermilk, of course, but it serves the purpose of having
something always on hand for those unplanned meals. You can use it for
biscuits as well.

You can also order dried buttermilk powder from the Baker's Catalog at the
King Arthur Flours site:
