Homemade Pancake Mix

Updated May 23, 2024
Last week I shared with you my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe: my mom’s, of course! Today I’ll share with you the dry pancake mix that is always sitting in a large glass jar in the pantry, ready to be made into fluffy golden pancakes just as easy as a store-bought mix.

Pancakes are always a good idea. Lazy Saturday mornings, brunch with friends, dinner when you desperately need to go grocery shopping…brinner, anyone? Pancakes can be whipped up at a moment’s notice, and my children are never sad about this decision. With this mix, pancakes become even easier to make, as half the work is already done for you.
Making homemade pancake mix is as simple as whisking together 5 dry ingredients, putting them in a jar, then taping on some instructions. You’ll walk by the pancake mixes in the store from now on and cackle because you have something better and healthier at home! Mwahaha.

Recipe from my mama
Homemade Pancake Mix
Makes enough for about 10 batches of pancakes
Ingredients:
10 cups / 1,200g all-purpose flour
8 Tbsp (1/2 cup) / 112g baking powder
1/2 cup / 100g sugar
4 tsp / 20g salt
2 cups / 250g powdered instant milk
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a large jar or container with lid.
Tape to the jar the following instructions:
Combine 1 1/4 cups dry mix with:
1 cup water or milk
2 Tbsp oil
1 egg
When preparing a batch of pancakes, preheat a lightly greased griddle or pan to 375°F / 190°C. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just combined, little lumps are ok. Pour desired amount onto griddle and cook until the bubbles in the batter don’t immediately fill in when they pop and edges look dry; flip and cook second side until golden.
Jenny’s Notes:
If you don’t have or prefer not to use powdered milk, simply leave it out and make sure to use buttermilk or milk of choice instead of water when making up a batch. The powdered milk makes for richer pancakes, but it is not strictly necessary. I like using buttermilk/milk when making pancakes even if there’s already powdered milk! Extra delicious.
If your pancakes are getting beyond golden before they’re cooked through, lower the heat of your pan.
