Yuk. If perkins served me these pancakes, I'd demand a refund. I used Jiffy mix and followed the recipe to a 'T'. They were dry and crumbly and tasted like #%#*&^. Better to buy a Betty Crocker cookbook and make them from scratch!

I wish I would have read the reviews prior to making this. The pancakes were dry and lacking flavor. Worst pancakes I have ever had despite following the recipe to a t.

I have no idea what that recipe is suppose to be but it ain't Perkins pancakes. 25 lbs of flour 6 gallons of buttermilk 1-1/2 gallon of vegetable oil 48 eggs 11 cups of melted butter 4-1/3 cups of baking powder 3-2/3 cups of sugar 1-1/4 cup of salt 1 cup yellow Dye #5

This tasted horrible. I followed it to the T also and it was tough, dry & tasteless. Not like any Perkins pancakes I've ever tasted either. But the kids liked it and that's all that matters.

These pancakes didnt taste anything like Perkins pancakes, and I followed the recipe exact. They were ok, but I'm going to keep searching for something closer to duplicate Perkins recipe.
