Today's Afternoon Snack
It's raining outside, and I'm going to fry a couple of pancakes from now. I have a buttermilk pancake mix, so I'll use it. This mix makes nice and glutenous pancakes. I'll add some cinnamon and erythritol. I don't add any eggs because I have only few eggs left. But I know they will be very good.
今日のおやつ
外は雨で、私はこれからパンケーキを焼きます。バターミルク・パンケーキ・ミックスがあるのであれを使います。あのケーキミックスはもちもちしたおいしいパンケーキが焼けます。シナモンとエリトリトールを加えます。たまごはもうあまりないので割愛します。それでもとてもおいしいのが焼けます。

これから is a difficult phrase to translate into English. It doesn literally mean "from now (on)," but the times when you would say this in Japanese are not always when you would say it in English. I think "after this" or maybe even "soon" is a good translation here.
I have a/some buttermilk pancake mix, so (I think) I'll use it.
I'm not actually sure if "some buttermilk pancake mix" is grammatically correct, but it feels more natural.
Alternatively, you could say, "a box/package/etc. of buttermilk pancake mix."

Sounds delicious!

Thank you! Yes, it was good. :)
I know 'some' can be used for an uncountable noun, but there I meant a bag (already opened and used some) of the mix. I used 'a' because I thought products are individually counted even for uncountable substances. Mm.. then, I guess that is applicable in the premises of the stores only.
I understand my 'don't' should have been 'won't' because I'm talking about this time only up there. But I thought 'only' can be put in front of what it modifies.

Even if you've used some of the mix, you can still use "some," for instance, to say "there's still some mix left." Even if it's just enough mix to make only one pancake. "A" isn't incorrect, though! I just sounds a little less natural in this case.
An example I can think of where "a" is a natural choice is, "I have a/some pancake mix I've been dying to try out." Here, it sounds like the mix isn't opened or used yet, so "a" sounds kind of unifying and works.
Ahh... I'm sorry I can't explain better. ^^;
As for "only," "I have only a few eggs left" is perfectly correct, and can be argued it's natural too. However, "I only (Verb) (Object)" is just a very common construction and flows nicely. For example, "I only speak English" "She only works three days a week" "We can only look at the paintings, not touch them."
Please let me know if you need me to clarifying anything. :)

Fry is not grammatically wrong but we don’t really use it for pancakes (we usually use it for eggs)

Or bouncy? Springy? Firm? It’s just that glutenous is not used in this way.
I'll add some cinnamon and erythritolsweetener.
Erythritol is not wrong but it’s a bit too technical

Thank you!
The pancakes are not the regular spongy type. It's moist.
I wanted to say I'm an erythoritol user, I can recommend it. 'Sweetener' can be artificial, and I don't like sounding like I'm using an artificial sweetener.
It's interesting that 'a few' means that there are some, but when 'only' is added the meaning is that there are few but 'a' is needed. But I can see that 'only a few' flaws better.

Ah I see, maybe I’ll go look for some erythritol too! I feel the same. English grammar can be so weird
It's raining outside, and I'm going to frycook a couple of pancakes from now.
The "and" here feels weird to me; we usually say "cook" or "make" for pancakes.
I have a buttermilk pancake mix, so I'll use it.
Is it the Morinaga one? I think I might say "so I'll be using that"
This mix makes nice and, glutenous pancakes.
nice and (word) sounds like emphasis.
I dwon't add any eggs because I have only a few eggs left.
a few is good because we know it's eggs already
But, I know they will be very good.

I hope the pancakes were good!

Thank you! Yes, they were good.
The mix is Arrowhead one. I guess this mix is made avoiding some unhealthy ingredients, so the end product is not fluffy. I wrote 'nice and glutenous' because some people might think 'glutenous' doesn't sound very delicious.
