Not everybody keeps all that stuff on hand. I think homemade pancakes are
best, and that's what I usually make, but every now and then (on vacation,
for example) we buy the just-add-water kind, and they're surprisingly good.

I once read a review of just-add-water mixes, and Hungry Jack Buttermilk was
determined to be the best (can't remember who did that review...one of the
magazines I read, or possibly the local paper food section). So when we buy
a whole box of the stuff, I tend to buy that. For camping, we get the
Bisquick shake-a-pancake mix: you add a cup of water to the plastic bottle,
shake, and pour the batter into the hot pan. They're pretty good!
