Ok, so I tried this morning using the boxed King Arthur Pumpkin pancake mix which I love! And I used my non-stick donut pan. So to see if I really like the new method I made six in my donut pan and used the remainder of the batter on my griddle as traditional pancakes. I'm here to say that the traditional pancakes were so much better, and I hate to say that because I wanted to like this method so much. 1st - The donut pancakes did taste good but they are not the same as a pancake. They're very cakey, and if you like a cakey product then that would be very good. And it did puff up and look like a real donut! But they do not taste like a traditional pancake. 2nd - It is critical to liberally grease your donut pan including the "bump", or it's very difficult to get them out in one piece. 3rd - And then cleaning up the donut pan was quite a pain. So I don't see where I gained any time savings. In summary, the traditional pancakes really tasted the best to me because I wanted pancakes! If I wanted a cakey-type product then the donut pan would be okay but it really is not a time saver. Next time I'll try this technique in a 9 by 13 pan and see what happens.
