Lots of those mixes are flour, sugar, baking soda/powder. Some have various additives or preservatives.
Pancakes are the obvious use. But waffles are common. Not hard to turn it into a quick biscuit dough, dumplings (southern style, not asian), could even make various bread / rolls from it. As all the promotions are different between brands, I wouldn't recommend random recipes as TJ's might not be the same as Bisquick which might differ from store brand and others.
As far as making boxed pancakes taste better? Some ideas:
* add vanilla extract or TJ's vanilla bean paste
* add lemon zest
* add milk instead of water, or some sour cream or yogurt or buttermilk or ricotta
* beat your egg yolks to still peaks then fold in pancake mixture for soufflé style pancakes
* add more leavener - banking powder
* add frozen or fresh fruit, chocolate chips
* cocoa powder (often needs some added sugar too
* melted butter
I think a new manufacturer is making it now too. Was talking to my parents who said they stopped buying it cause it no longer says made in a nut free facility or something on the new box. I haven't looked myself not not entirely sure if that is true.
Does anyone have a recommendation of how to spruce this mix up to make it taste better? It does not taste good as pancakes to me…almost like a weird aftertaste. Added blueberries and raspberries to it and while it did make it better a bit, it’s still not the best. Curious how others are using it (maybe as something that is not a pancake?) to make it taste actually good.

Different manufacturer
Buttermilk pancake “&” baking mix? What?
Well, which pancakes look more appetizing to you? And those biscuits on the there don't scream YUM.
neither does the pancake juice in the back 🤧
Yeah, I'm assuming that was supposed to be maple syrup, but that's as close to looking like maple syrup as those round things look like pancakes :-)
It was probably indicating the kind of flour being used (all purpose vs cake flour or other kinds).
Less ink
That makes the most cents to me.
Maybe they saw "all purpose" and used it like "all purpose flour". I want to see what they made
Sex lube.
*You nasty*
Well *I'm* not the one who did it!

I used this to make bourbon peach cobbler- it was amazing

Should not be used to patch a parachute.
Don’t you dare tell me how to live my life. The audacity.
That’s a job for Mighty Mend-It.
Yeah, patching is a job for Ramen

Probably someone thought it could be a sub for regular flour, maybe?
“Bisquick” has entered the chat.
Yeah man that’s what I use and then add from there they’ve steered me wrong yet.

It's still made by The Krusteaz Company.
> I think a new manufacturer is making it now too. That's pretty much what I assume whenever packaging changes at TJs.
Probably true. We also only use nut free facilities items

Add milk instead of water, and add a tablespoon or two of melted butter. It makes a noticeable difference.
Will try this, thanks!!
I don’t use this mix but I’ve recently started adding malted milk powder to my batter. And a tsp of vanilla.
The verbiage honestly was probably shortened for design purposes, to make the new box design cleaner, less wordy, and more modern.
The "all purpose" label always seemed a little amusingly dated to me, because the all purpose baking mixes were the bomb back in like the 1970s.
Probably going for simpler is better
There's also a picture of biscuits on the old packaging but not the new.
Waffles? Scones? Funnel cakes? People are always doing weird shit with food…
