I had asked a question about butter conversions for a recipe i love.. in that post i had made reference to the fact that my cake was not as fluffy as it should be..

there was a comment made that perhaps it was my whey powder.. as I thought about this i realized that the pancakes I make using whey powder are not as fluffy as I would like them to be either.. I would really love some big fluffy pancakes These 2 recipes are already killer.. perfecting them would be great!

I use Designer Whey Vanilla..

any suggestions for cooking with this brand? Have you found you need more/less of it or more baking powder or something? (im a bad cook so i dont know how to make something fluffy) Is it possible my powder has gotten 'old' or something (ive had it since last year but it doesnt expire until July this year)? I dont know that much about this stuff..

Is there a brand that would be more suitable for cooking? If so.. I would appreciate a link to buy some..

thanks in advance for helping this cooking flunkie!
