By The recipe Saturday was a homemade pancake mix in a jar. Flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, dried buttermilk powder. Stored in a quart jar. Makes four batches of pancakes from the mix as needed. The kind of small kitchen prep that saves time on a Sunday morning with a baby in the house.
The recipe is below.
Pancake Mix in a Jar
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 12 pancakes (about 4 servings)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup powdered buttermilk (optional, for flavor)
- To cook: 1 egg, 1 cup milk (or water), 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Layer the dry mix. In a wide-mouth quart jar, layer the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and powdered buttermilk in order. Seal tightly with a lid. Attach a tag with the cooking instructions below.
- Shake before using. When ready to make pancakes, shake the jar well to combine all dry ingredients evenly.
- Mix the batter. Pour the full jar of mix into a large bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir until just combined — a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2—3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1—2 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm. Stack and serve with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
