Introducing the easiest and most delicious way to make pancakes at home! This small batch pancake mix is perfect for one or two people, and it's so simple to make that you'll never go back to boxed pancake mix again.
Mix the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and store in a jar.
For the pancake batter:
For each 1 cup pancake mix, add 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Do not overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add more of the milk, a little at a time.
Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Ladle about 3/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Repeat until the batter is used up.
Serve with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, fruit or any other topping you desire.
Notes
Ensure freshness: Always use fresh ingredients for the best results, especially baking powder and baking soda as they can lose their effectiveness over time.
Proper storage: Keep your pancake mix in an airtight container to protect it from moisture and bugs. It can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Keep it consistent: Be consistent with measuring your ingredients. This will ensure each batch is as good as the last.
Multiplying the recipe: If you want to make a larger batch, simply multiply the ingredient quantities.
Tips For Making Pancakes
Don't overmix. Let a few lumps remain in the batter. Stir the batter until there are no more flour streaks and still a bit lumpy.
Wipe out the pan between pancakes. I love cooking pancakes in butter but the butter will eventually burn. To solve this problem, wipe the pan between pancakes and add a little bit more butter before cooking the next pancake. You can also use vegetable or canola oil instead of butter for the pan.
Use any percentage of cow's milk you prefer. You may also use almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk instead.
You can substitute oil for the melted butter but for richer pancakes, butter is best.
