Equipment
- 1 quart-size mason jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk optional but recommended
Instructions
- Combine ingredients.Stir everything together well before adding to the jar so it’s evenly mixed.
- Seal jar. Seal the jar. I prefer to use a vacuum sealer to keep moisture out of my dry ingredients.
- Label jar.Label and date the jar, as well as include directions on how to make panckaes with it (add one cup of dry mix to 3/4 cup of water, plus an optional tablespoon of oil for added texture).
- Make pancakes.Add one cup of dry mix to 3/4 cup of water, plus an optional tablespoon of oil for added texture. Stir until just combined -- the batter should still look a little lumpy—don’t overmix or the pancakes can turn out dense. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, because this helps the pancakes turn out a bit softer. Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. When a little sprinkle of water dances on the surface of your skillet/griddle, pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, flip them. Cook the other side until golden brown, about another minute or so.
Notes
If you also have milk and eggs, you can make an upgraded version of pancakes with:
- 1 cup dry mix
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
