I suggest using baking POWDER, not baking soda + vinegar. CO2 will be generated by the baking powder without additional acid. It should not taste as salty.

Funny how that statement is never false

I think that's where I made my mistake next time I will try baking powder. For 2 cups of pancake mix about how much baking powder do you think I should use?

This thread brought back memories of 60 years ago. One summer in the Explorers we did a summer camping along a nice lake. In our bus one of the kids [dad was a Pepsi bottler] brought ten cases of Pepsi. @ our first breakfast not enough water to cook and wash dishes. Used Pepsi, powdered eggs and our pancake mix. You should have seen them bubble as they cooked, and no syrup needed.

He's using a box mix (not that there's anything wrong w/ that). I don't see sourdough on his horizon. Yet.
But, once he figures out that box mix, I also would recommend some scratch cakes after the box is empty. It's really not that hard to throw things together for a batch from ingredients on hand in the kitchen/pantry.

If you're using a packaged mix, like Krusteaz, it already contains "leavening agents". For example:

Buttermilk Pancake Mix
Enriched Bleached Flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid)
Sugar
Baking Powder
Salt
Buttermilk Powder
May contain milk, eggs, soy, and tree nuts

Buy a new fresh pack of Baking Powder.

It does go bad.

So after Para's post about pancakes a while back my wife and I have turned making pancakes into a type of hobby.

You would think we were doing something important, like physics and splitting the atom at the Manhattan project.

But I like Xantom's post where the guy talks about making buttermilk by using vinegar rather than just using buttermilk. I do believe buttermilk is better, but it always seems to go bad so quick. Anyway, tomorrow will be pancakes, sausages, and scrambled eggs.
