Homemade Pancake Mix

How to Make Your Own Pancake Mixes - Make either buttermilk or sour cream pancakes!

You can make these mixes as large or as small as you like. Keep the same ratio of ingredients to make it any size.

Homemade Buttermilk Pancake Mix
All Purpose Flour               cups 4
Sugar                                        cups 1/4
Dry Buttermilk Powder    cups 1/2
Baking Soda                           tsp 2
Baking Powder                     tsp 4
Salt                                           tsp 1

Homemade Sour Cream Pancake Mix
All Purpose Flour                 cups 4
Sugar                                          cups 1/3
Dry Sour Cream Powder    cups 2/3
Baking Soda                             tsp 2
Baking Powder                       tsp 4
Salt                                              tsp 1

For easier measurement, remember that one tablespoon equals three teaspoons.

Combine all the ingredients and whisk together to distribute evenly. Store your pancake mixes in an air-tight container in a cool place and it should last a long time.

You can buy buttermilk powder in your grocery store.

Use the sour cream pancake mix as a base mix for by adding fruit, nuts, baking chips or more. Of course, you can make it plain for some special, extra rich pancakes. We guarantee that it is better than most store mixes.

To use your mix:
1. Measure the desired mix into a large bowl.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk one egg for every one to 1 1/2 cups of mix.
3. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter or oil to the egg for every one cup of mix.
4. Add 2/3 cup water to the egg mixture for every one cup of mix. Add the liquid mixture to the mix and stir until just combined. The batter will probably be too dry so add more water to reach the desired consistency.

My NOTES:
• I don't add the buttermilk nor sour cream when I make my mix.
• I use whole wheat flour, not all-purpose flour.
• I add 2 tsp of cinnamon to the 4 cup of flour.
• When I make pancakes, I just use 1 cup of mix, 1 egg, and add just enough milk (usually skim,
otherwise homo milk) until I get the right consistency.
• I just add the blueberries to the pancakes after I ladle some mixture into the pan. Cook. Then flip.
