Equipment

Ingredients

Dry Pancake Mix Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

When You're Ready to Make the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup dry pancake mix made with the ingredients above
  • 1 egg medium or large
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk warm
  • 2 tablespoons (26 g) unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

To Make the Dry Pancake Mix:

  • Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • Store your pancake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It should stay good for up to three months.

To Make the Pancakes:

  • Combine 1 cup of the dry pancake mix with the egg, warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • Stir until the ingredients are just combined. It's okay if the batter has a few lumps - overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
  • Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  • Pour 3 tbsp - ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

  • Each cup of dry pancake mix combined with milk and egg will make 10 pancakes. 
  • The recipe makes about 3 cups of pancake mix, so enough for 3 batches!
  • If stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, the pancake mix should stay fresh for up to three months. 
  • For thicker pancakes, allow the homemade pancake batter to rest for 20-30 minutes after mixing it. 
  • Avoid overmixing the pancake batter, as this can cause tough, chewy pancakes.
