Serves: 4 cups of mix
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered milk (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and optionally, 1/2 cup of powdered milk. Ensure you have a large mixing bowl and a whisk or spoon for combining the ingredients.
- In the large mixing bowl, add the 2 cups of all-purpose flour. This will be the base of your pancake mix.
- Next, add 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the flour. Baking powder is essential for making the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Then, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of sugar. This will add a hint of sweetness to your pancakes.
- Now, add 1 teaspoon of salt. Salt enhances the overall flavor of the pancakes.
- If you are using powdered milk, add 1/2 cup to the bowl. This ingredient is optional but will give your pancakes a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Using a whisk or spoon, mix all the dry ingredients together until they are well combined. Ensure there are no lumps and everything is evenly distributed.
- Once mixed, transfer the pancake mix into an airtight container. This will help keep it fresh for future use.
- Label the container with the date and contents, and store it in a cool, dry place. Your homemade pancake mix is now ready to use whenever you crave pancakes!
- To make pancakes, simply combine 1 cup of the pancake mix with 1 cup of water or milk, and cook on a greased skillet over medium heat until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.
Tips
- Storage is Key: Store your pancake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can last up to 2-3 months when properly sealed.
- Customize Your Mix: Feel free to add optional ingredients like a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla powder to give your mix a unique flavor twist.
- Make It Ahead: This mix is perfect for meal prep and makes a fantastic gift for friends and family who love home cooking.
- Milk Matters: While powdered milk is optional, it adds richness to your pancakes. If you skip it, simply use milk instead of water when mixing.
- Mixing Technique: Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of baking powder and salt for consistently fluffy pancakes.
- Fresh is Best: For the lightest pancakes, use fresh baking powder that hasn't expired, as it loses its rising power over time.
- Versatility Hack: This mix can be used for more than just pancakes - try it as a base for quick waffles or even as a coating for French toast!
