Morinaga Hot Cake Pancake Mix 600g

These are, without a doubt, the best boxed pancake mix I’ve ever tried. I’ve lived in Japan, traveled extensively, and consider myself a true foodie, so I’m pretty particular when it comes to pancakes. The texture is incredible—light yet satisfyingly dense—with just the right amount of sweetness. They have that soft, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth quality that’s hard to find outside of Japan. Every bite tastes homemade rather than coming from a box. I’ve tried countless pancake mixes over the years, and nothing comes close. If you’re looking for authentic, high-quality pancakes with an amazing texture and flavor, I can’t recommend these enough.

Ich liebe dieses Zeug. Schnell eingerührt. Sehr lecker. Vielseitig verwendbar.

Japanese pancake mix isn’t as sweet compared to western brands, and if you use water instead of milk, they become fluffier and have a slight more chewy (but tender) texture. Lofty too, which is nice. I grew up eating these pancakes so I was happy to find this out here.

I was super hungry making this and I didn’t know what the end result was gonna taste like, so I tasted a little bit of the blended batter. Oh mai gah, it’s so ridiculously sweet. It taste like actual cake, not pancakes, but actual birthday cake batter. It’s amazing! I cooked the batter in a frying pan and one packet (it comes with around 4 packets) made 2 very thick pancakes plus one very thick giant pancake. You may be able to get around 6 or 7 medium pancakes out of this because although I only had 2 medium and 1 large pancake they were extremely thick. I was super full after eating all 3 and I usually eat a lot. Very good pancake mix, oh yes! :D!! Also for anyone that has trouble reading the back, what you need to mix together are: 1 packet of powder mix 1 egg medium size (I used an XL egg and it was fine) 100ml water Just mix it all together and you’re good to go. Great for an easy and super tasty breakfast.

These are simply okay. They are awfully dry. You have to add melted butter and sugar to make them taste homemade. They are not terrible. They are just not what I so anticipated. It’s not a waste of money. You just have to Dr. them up in my opinion.
