Homemade Pancake Mix

Make your mornings easier with this simple and versatile homemade pancake mix. Just add water or milk, and you’ll have fluffy pancakes in no time!

Ingredients

For the Pancake Mix:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

For Making Pancakes:

• 1 cup pancake mix (from above)
• 1 cup milk (or water)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Mix

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
2. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
3. Transfer the pancake mix to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Label it with the date and contents. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Step 2: Make the Pancakes

1. When you’re ready to make pancakes, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or melted butter.
2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of the pancake mix with 1 cup of milk (or water), 1 large egg, and melted butter (if using). Stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Serve

1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

Enjoy!
