Wow! I'm impressed! Whenever I see whole grain/multi grain on anything, I think of chewing saw dust. This mix makes great pancakes! I make'em more on the crepe side by adding more milk than recommended. Add some chopped walnuts (omega3) and apples and I'm in heaven. Add couple spoonfuls of applesauce if you want even more moist pancakes. Make some raspberry sauce (rasperry jam w/ water zapped for 10 seconds in microwave) and even my most finicky 2 year wolfs them up. Bon appetit!
Addendum September 13, 2008:
I find myself using this mix much as someone would use any baking mix. It makes lovely scones and biscuits. I haven't tried any of the "impossible" dishes that rely on a well-known baking mix; however I suspect that Bob's 7-Grain Pancake and Waffle Mix would work splendidly in that capacity as well.

I've been buying this pancake mix since way before the Internet era. My parents lived in Oregon and when visiting we always went to the Old Red Mill to buy cases of this pancake mix to bring home. I can't recommend it more highly. I've read other reviews where they mention adding extra ingredients but, in my estimation, you don't need to add anything to this mix to make truly wonderful pan "cakes." In fact, I like eating them just with butter, no syrup, they're so tasty. My last cake I add molasses for a special treat.For years I have been buying Hodgsen Mills Pancake and Waffle Mix...... I decided to try Bob's Red Mill and I LOVE IT!!! I wish I had tried it sooner. I received this yesterday and this morning I made them for my husband and myself. First thing he asked was, "What did you do different to these"? They're Grrrreat! LOL I explained that this was Bob's Red Mill Brand, and after tasting them I will be buying ONLY these from now on. They're whole grain, and Organic, and if you haven't tried them, do a switch, and see if you and your family don't love it.Extremely versatile and convenient mix. For a little variety just add raisins, chopped nuts, chopped dried apricots, etc. to each individual pancake while cooking and prepare a whole bag at a time. It freezes well, individually wrapped in ziploc bags, and is ready for a quick warmup in the microwave without the mess of preparation. To avoid a tough pancake, heat frozen pancake for 1-3/4 minutes on medium on each side and then 45 seconds on high. Should come out just like it was freshly prepared. Have found that one pancake is quite filling and is sufficient to last until lunch. Enjoy.
