I think these ingredients should be exactly what Alton Brown used in Good Eats, for his Pancakes episode where he was making a better boxed pancake mix. He made a double batch and kept the dry ingredients for another use, while I just like to whip up a half batch whenever I need come flapjacks.
I also added an equipment list and an order of operations that I liked. This batch will feed 4 easily.
Alton's pancakes were so amazing that we never went back to our old way of doing it!

Notes
- For buttermilk substitution, you can freeze cubes, or use 2 T of lemon juice (or vinegar) added to enough milk to make 2 cups. But... I actually think that might be too much lemon juice. I've had stuff curdle and I don't know if it is the juice or maybe microwaving the milk is not right.
