Homemade Pancake Mix Recipe

I found your recipe on Pinterest recently and tried these pancakes this morning. Everyone loved them. I plan to make multiple batches for my Breakfast Basket family gifts this Christmas. thanks for sharing.

I like to grate a little fresh nutmeg for amazing fresh taste. I also let any pancake or waffle batter rest for at least 5 mins. so that the ingredients have time to absorb and work their magic.

I’ve made this recipe now at least three times! (Family of three, pancakes MAYBE once a month, but guests get them the rest of the time)- AMAZING recipe! My only question is why do mine always come out almost an inch thick! LOL People eat one pancake and they’re full 😀 Best way to feed a crowd, that’s for sure, especially with homemade fruit syrup!

What are your thoughts on adding some cinnamon to this mixture?

Can I substitute buttermilk for the water to make buttermilk pancakes? Do I need to make any other adjustments?

Thank you,

Emily

I was wondering g if this mix would work well in a waffle iron!
And I always wave a Thank you!!!

Made a half batch because I wanted to make sure I liked them before I put together a full batch, Kind of wish I would have done even less. They were nothing like the boxed pancake mix. When I asked my fiance how the pancakes were he said “try a different recipe” They were very dense and thick and bland. They looked as though they would be fluffy but were not. They didn’t absorb butter or syrup very well either. Weird. I will not throw out my leftover mix though. I think I will use it up by trying to add a bit of vanilla. Hopefully that will make them at least tolerable. Maybe adding a bit more water will thin them out too…. I’ll post a follow up if it improves the flavor and texture at all.

And I’m sorry but nice people don’t need a thank you to feel good about the nice thing they did.
ps. I do wave.

how many pancake the 1st around will it make ?

I love the idea of homemade pancake mix. I would add a little flax seed to it to add fiber. You don’t taste it and it adds nutrition to the mix. Can’t wait to try this.

Can I substitute milk for the water when making the pancakes and eliminate the milk powder in the recipe?

i love buttermilk pancakes! Will this recipe also work with powdered buttermilk, and would the quantity be the same?

OMG! These are the best pancakes ever! My husband and son loved them. I will never buy a boxed mix again. 🙂

I remember my mom would always make us pancakes before we headed out the door for school something she said we always needed warm in our bellies! But I remember when she run out of syrup she would make us some any ideas?

I’m wondering if you have a pancake recipe that is gluten free? My grandson, who loves to come over to Grams’ house (that’s me) on the weekends is on a gluten free diet. It’s hard to be making two different kinds of meals to accommodate him, but I do it. I have a fantastic recipe for him for chocolate, chocolate chip cookies (bought the pre-made box of chocolate chip cookies and it made half of my recipe (and they were not very good) – at twice the price of my recipe. He’s always happy to get my cookies – and limits himself to make them last longer. His dad (my son) would just gobble them up. By the way …… i absolutely LOVE your recipes, thoughts, etc. (And I, too, live in Portland!)

I’ve decided to make up a bunch of pre-made recipes and tuck them in a basket for each of my two son’s families for Christmas. Did some of that last year and they loved it. This recipe will be one of the gifts!

thank you for the recipe! it was great i increased the sugar to 1 cup my daughters have sweet tooth.

I used this mix to do a brunch at our Ronald McDonald House today! My pancakes went over quite well! I made Blackberry, Banana, and Blueberry Pancakes (some plain ones too, but nobody wanted plain once they went for the fruity ones!) These were a hit!

I added some vanilla extract for extra flavor. I also added some nutmeg for the plain and the banana pancakes. This is a very versatile mix and I could see keeping this in my cabinet for everyday use!

I absolutely LOVED these pancakes. Followed your instructions exactly as written they could not have tasted any better. This is my new go-to pancake recipe. Thank you! Can’t wait to make them again! 🙂

I ALWAYS wave – ALWAYS!!!!! and if I’m on the interstate I flash my hazard lights for a couple seconds. 1) my kids always ask “who are you waving at?” EVERY. TIME. 2) my husband has never heard of the flashing hazards and thinks I’m insane and no one else knows what it means. Maybe I was a trucker in my former life?

Thanks for the recipe! Do you know if I could use powered egg, if we run out of real eggs in a food storage situation?

Yum!! We eat a lot of pancakes at our house. What is really nice is some buttermilk syrup over the pancakes and fresh cut strawberries. I made this one time for my husband’s family and they informed me that they were “Maple Syrup” eaters and wouldn’t even try it. Then they came to my house and my sister-in-law’s son helped make the syrup so then they gave it a try….needless to say they were converted after the first bit. You never know what you might be missing out on if you don’t open up your mind. Your recipe I am definitely going to try. Thank you.

This looks great! Can you substitute EVOO or coconut oil for the canola? Thats what i have on hand 🙂

Hi there,
I am a grumpy,invisible lady too.
I would double wave you xxxx

P.S great pancake idea 🙂

Your pancakes look so perfect! Beautiful. Thank you for the recipe…I was thinking buttermilk powder too…but hey, could just use the milk powder and then, instead of all water, a little real buttermilk too…I always have buttermilk in my refrigerator.

Anyway, the pancakes look delicious and I am giving you a double wave…and a thank you.

I roll down window and give about a 3-4 second thumbs up or if traffic is harried, I do the wave but always acknowledge. I too get irked when people were behind me about 4 lengths and could have merged then but wait till the last minute and expect you, their last opportunity to merge to let them in. More people who egregiously think they are entitled.
The pancake mix is an answer to wants. Your recipes in the past have been great and I trust this will be. Will make thus today with granddaughters so they know their are options other than running to the store for a box. We can have the same with no ucky stuff. Thanks Lauren.

I HATE jerky, ungrateful drivers. We moved to Los Angeles a year ago and few people wave to thank me. And blinkers are considered optional sometimes. And the one that really yanks my chain is people honking and speeding by/around me as I’m backing out of a parking spot. OK. I obviously need pancakes now too! I love this simple homemade version – perfect for quick breakfasts on the go!

I walk alot for excercise and I have come to the conclusion that there is very little politeness out there, particularly behind the wheel. When driving, I always do the double wave one commenter spoke of, but I guess we are among the limited minority. At least we can moan a little here, thanks for giving the opportunity! That said, these pancakes look and sound just yummy!!! My daughter loves pancakes and I’ve done waffles using a similar recipe, but always end up going the ‘Bisquick’ route for hurried before-school pancakes. This looks simple, and delicious and we each have one more opportunity to high five ourselves for our home made, hand made simplicity. Thank you.

Cnt wait to try this!!! Been searching for the best pancake mix that i can store for later use! The pancake looks soooo fluffy! What i like abt this is it uses powdered milk! I loooove powdered milk! With the 6+ cups of flour, is 1/3 cup of sugar sweet enough? I dnt usually put syrup on my pancakes and like it plain when i eat ’em that’s y im wondering if the amount of sugar is sweet enough 🙂

Thank you soooo much!!!

Can you use whole wheat flour in place of white flour without changing the rest of the recipe?

I’ve taught my children that you actually should *double* wave — wave once as the person lets your car in, then wave again once you’ve made your move! Twice the thanks!

Oh my gosh. I feel the exact same way! No one ever waves anymore, except apparently you and me! I’ll wave if you let me in 🙂 It irritates me that people expect it and don’t say thanks! These pancakes could solve all of that though. 🙂

Can’t wait to try this! I was wondering though… could you add some buttermilk powder for some of the powdered milk to make buttermilk pancakes?
