Rasmus Klump American Pancakes

I crave for pancakes so much, especially the ready-made pancakes by Marks and Spencer. (Check out my previous post on M&S Mandarin Orange Pancakes) To satisfy my craving for pancakes, I decided to make my own.

While shopping for the ingredients, I spotted this ready-made pancake mix by Rasmus Klump. It is a convenience pancake mix for busy or lazy folk like me :) Most of the important ingredients have been pre-mixed, including sugar and egg powder.  All you need is just milk and oil/butter. Mix everything together and the batter is ready to be cooked in the pan.

The overall taste of the pancake is acceptable. Sweetness is just nice with no additional sugar is required. The only downside is, the pancake is flatter and lack of fluffiness. Obviously egg powder is not a good substitute for fresh eggs. For those who prefer fluffy texture, please stick to the traditional pancake method with fresh ingredients. Well whisked eggs (especially egg white) could elevate the fluffiness of the pancakes.
