Homemade Pancake Flour

Create your own pancake flour at home with this simple recipe! This versatile mix can be stored for future use, making pancake mornings a breeze.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until all ingredients are evenly distributed. This ensures that your pancakes will rise properly and have a balanced flavor.

Step 2: Store the Pancake Flour

Transfer the pancake flour mixture into an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Label the container with the date and contents. This pancake flour can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Step 3: Use the Pancake Flour

When you’re ready to make pancakes, simply measure out the desired amount of pancake flour. For a basic pancake recipe, use 1 cup of pancake flour, and add the following ingredients:

• 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 4: Mix the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Gradually add the wet ingredients to the pancake flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy your homemade pancakes made with your very own pancake flour!

Tips

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.
• Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter for added flavor.

Now you have a delicious pancake flour recipe that you can use anytime you crave fluffy pancakes!
