How to Make Homemade Pancake Mix

Homemade pancakes can be tastier and less expensive than mixes that are purchased in the store. The convenience of having a mix to work from, however, can't be beat.

Here are some simple steps to creating your own pancake mix from scratch:

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Combine the following dry ingredients in a plastic container or Ziploc bag and shake to mix well:
   
   12 c. flour
   4 c. dry instant powdered milk
   3/4 c. baking powder
   3/4 c. sugar
   2 tablespoons salt

2. When you're ready to make the pancakes, use the following recipe:
   
   1 1/2 c. of the dry mix
   1 cup water
   1 egg
   2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

3. Write the recipe on the outside of the storage container for easy reference the next time you prepare pancakes.

4. Store the dry mixture in a pantry or refrigerator until ready for use.

5. Find more homemade mix ideas in the Resources section below.
