Pancake Mix

HOMEMADE PANCAKE MIX

• 2 cups whole wheat flour

• 1 cup white flour

• 4 tablespoons sugar

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon salt

Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl and transfer to a quart canning jar or other appropriate jar with a tight fitting lid.

You should also add a label to the jar telling the recipient how to make the pancakes. I made a label with pretty thorough instructions for making pancakes because I didn’t know if a younger or older family member might be getting the gift in our exchange. The main instructions you want to give are to make the pancakes using 3/4 cup of the mix with a 1/2 cup of milk and 1 egg. Here’s the instructions I put on my label.

To Make Pancake Batter Combine:
3/4 cup Pancake Mix
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Egg
(More or less milk can be used to make a thicker or thinner batter)
Pour the batter onto a hot griddle or fry pan using about 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup per pancake. When bubbles start to form on top, flip the pancake and brown on the other side. Makes approximately 6 to 8 pancakes.
For a larger batch that makes approximately 12 to 14 pancakes, combine 1-1/2 cups of the mix, 1 cup milk, and 2 eggs.
