Of course they are soft, as they are suppose to be, but the outside is fairly crisp, so is easy to spread butter on and never had the syrup soak through. I go easy on the sugar and oil, but prefer making them with buttermilk and mix LIGHTLY just until I see no more flour in the batter. If you beat them to death, as some restaurants do, the texture is horrid.

Please don't assume. I don't make things from mixes. I don't like
pancakes. I don't like the texture. I don't like the mouth feel. I
don't like syrup. I don't like the smell. I've had pancakes in
numerous venues. Big pancakes, small pancakes. I won't make pancakes.
My view is exactly like Sheldon's. They are a waste of calories and
an excuse to load up on syrup. That is my view. You have a different
view.
