Pancakes with coca cola?
The Bisquick pancake recipe calls for lemon juice and baking powder (and a bit of sugar) to create fluffier pancakes. Basically, you're just adding the fizz from the lemon juice and baking powder to create air pockets in the pancakes, but it does make them cook up nice and fluffy. The problem is that my kids hate the lemon juice flavor, and I haven't been able to overcome that without adding too much sugar.
I had a thought to replace the lemon juice, baking power and sugar with a bit of coca cola. The fizz from the soda would do the trick to fluff the pancakes up and the sweetness would replace the sugar in the recipe.
Has anyone ever tried this? Does it work or will I just make a total disaster of things?
I don't think the cola would be any less healthy than the sugar, vanilla, baking soda and lemon juice that I'm adding now.
And to John O, yes I have read the box, which is where I got the idea for the baking soda and lemon juice in the first place. The sugar doesn't make the pancakes fluffier, it just counteracts the tartness added by the lemon juice, and the only reason you need the lemon juice is to provide acid to react with the baking soda to make the fizz that DOES make them fluffier.

I saw a chef on tv use cola in a cake batter once. He used the cola to replace the Vanilla extract and it worked fine. I think you're right when you say the cola would replace the sugar. and you should still get fluffy pancakes.

Um, have you read the recipe lately? Last time I checked the side of the box said 2 c Bisquick, 1 1/4 c milk, 2 eggs. The flour is self-rising. If you want fluffier pancakes, just add a Tbs. of sugar.
Remember to mix the ingredients just until everything is wet. You want lumps in the batter.
If you use Coke, it will just end up being flat.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last couple years, I'm sure you've heard of the Paleo Diet. Read here https://tr.im/paleocookbooks
I hate to even call it a diet, because it's really just the real way that humans have eaten for almost 1.9 Million years, as opposed to the modern-day processed food diet full of grains, sugars, and processed vegetable oils.
