Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined. Pour the mixture into an airtight jar or container and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Notes

Check Your Ingredients: Baking powder and baking soda lose effectiveness over time. Use fresh ones for the best rise.
Store It Right: Keep the pancake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Measure Accurately: Use the spoon and level method for flour, lightly spoon it into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. For smaller ingredients, use the appropriate measuring spoons to ensure precise amounts.
Make a Larger Batch: Easily double or triple the ingredients to have more mix on hand.
 
How To Use The Pancake Mix
To make a small batch of pancakes, you'll need:
  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
This makes 2-3 pancakes, about 4 inches in diameter.
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).
  2. Add the pancake mix and stir until just combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk.
  3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour about 3/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is golden, about 3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute, until golden brown.
  7. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve with butter, homemade pancake syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
