To make a basic homemade pancake mix (dry mix), combine the following dry ingredients:
- 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Whisk these together thoroughly and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 to 6 months
How to Make Pancakes from the Mix
To prepare pancakes from the dry mix, combine:
- 1 cup of the dry pancake mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- A splash of vanilla extract (optional)
Whisk these ingredients together until just combined; a few lumps are fine to avoid tough pancakes
Cooking Instructions
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set (about 2-3 minutes).
- Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve warm with syrup or your favorite toppings
This homemade pancake mix recipe is versatile and can be used similarly to store-bought mixes. Adjust milk slightly if the batter is too thick or thin. The mix can also be used for waffles with minor adjustments in liquid
. This method yields light, fluffy pancakes with simple pantry ingredients and allows you to prepare the dry mix in advance for convenience
