Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
For Making Pancakes
- 1 cup homemade pancake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
Instructions
- Make the pancake mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
- Prepare the batter: To make pancakes, combine 1 cup of the pancake mix with 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to improve texture.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or butter.
Notes
- You can double or triple the pancake mix recipe for bulk preparation and longer storage.
- For a healthier twist, substitute up to half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour to make whole wheat pancakes.
- Add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can be gently folded into the batter before cooking to customize your pancakes.
