Description
This easy homemade pancake mix creates fluffy, delicious pancakes with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for quick breakfasts and make-ahead convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 tablespoon melted butter (or oil)
Instructions
- To make the dry pancake mix, place the flour in a mixing bowl or storage jar after fluffing and leveling it properly. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt, then whisk or shake well to combine.
- When ready to cook, preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Measure 1 ¾ cups of the dry mix into a bowl. Add milk, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Stir in melted butter and mix until fully combined.
- Lightly butter the hot griddle. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the surface. Adjust heat if needed after a test pancake.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm.
Notes
- Store dry mix in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- Use oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries for variation.
- Do a test pancake first to ensure proper griddle temperature.
- Serve with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
