Could you use regular butter instead of the unsalted butter?

This is a great recipe! We are huge pancake lovers in my house with 3 kids, in addition, we have included buttermilk pancakes in our women?s dieting group and have achieved excellent weight loss. The secret is in the buttermilk http://recipetoloseweight.blogspot.com/2014/05/buttermilk-pancakes-in-science-diet-can.html

What's the purpose of adding the cake mix? Couldn't you just add sprinkles into the pancake batter?

  The cake mix gives the pancakes a rich flavor that tastes more like funfetti cake.

      You can use a spice cake mix. It would be a whole different taste. I think it would actually be pretty delicious!!! :)

I'd like to try this, sounds delicious! For the pancake mix does it matter if you choose the kind that is just add water, or should it be the standard one where you need to add eggs as well?

I tried making these using different temps and milk measurements but they burn before they cook through. I've been making pancakes for years and never had his problem. Bummed because I made them for my sons birthday this morning. Not sure why they didn't turn out. >:-[

I made these with pink velvet cake mix for an adorable Hello Kitty breakfast after a birthday sleepover. So cute! I made them bow shaped. The girls loved them.

These were so good! I used white cake mix and cheap pancake mix. The trick to not burning them is keeping the temp around 250, however, this does increase the cooking time. I didn't use the glaze, just syrup - I normally use Nutella on my pancakes but not good on these pancakes. These are definately in our breakfast routine!
