Homemade Pancake Mix Recipe
There's something incredibly satisfying about making your own pancake mix. Not only do you get the joy of knowing exactly what's in your breakfast, but you also get the convenience of having it ready to go for those busy mornings. Storing your mix in a large mason jar keeps it fresh and adds a charming, rustic touch to your kitchen. Here’s how you can create your own homemade pancake mix and whip up delicious pancakes whenever the craving strikes.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Flour
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
How to Make Homemade Pancake Mix:
1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Store: Transfer the mixture into a large mason jar or any airtight container. Seal tightly to keep the mix fresh.
Making Pancakes:
When you're ready to make pancakes, here’s what you’ll need to do:
1. Measure: Scoop out 1 cup of your homemade pancake mix.
2. Combine: In a mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of mix with 1 cup of milk and 1 egg. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay.
3. Cook: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until browned on the other side.
Tips for the Perfect Pancakes:
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the pancakes tough. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
- Adjust Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk. If it’s too thin, add a bit more mix.
- Preheat the Griddle: Make sure your griddle is hot before you start cooking. A drop of water should sizzle when it hits the surface.
- Storage: Keep the mason jar in a cool, dry place. The mix should stay fresh for several months.
Personal Touch:
Feel free to customize your pancakes with add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts. Simply sprinkle your chosen ingredient onto the batter once it's poured on the griddle.
With this homemade pancake mix, you control the ingredients and you can enjoy fluffy, delicious pancakes anytime without the hassle of measuring out dry ingredients each time.
Happy cooking!
