Homemade Pancake Mix – Page 3

Tips for the Best Pancakes

Preheat the Skillet: Always make sure your skillet is fully heated before pouring the batter to avoid sticking.
Don’t Over-Mix: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Over-mixing can make pancakes tough.
Adjust Consistency: For thicker pancakes, use less milk; for thinner, add more milk.
Keep Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep finished pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F.

This pancake mix is a great base for experimenting with flavors! Here are a few ideas to make it your own:

Classic Buttermilk Pancakes: Substitute buttermilk for regular milk to add a tangy richness.
Cinnamon Spice: Add 1 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the mix for a cozy, spiced flavor.
Berry Pancakes: Fold fresh blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries into the batter right before cooking.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Stir in mini chocolate chips for a kid-friendly twist.
Banana Nut: Add mashed banana and chopped nuts for a delicious banana bread-inspired pancake.

If you end up with extra pancakes, here’s how to store them:

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Arrange pancakes on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.

Tip: Layer parchment paper between pancakes before freezing to prevent sticking.

Complete your breakfast with these ideas for toppings and sides:

Fruit: Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or sautéed apples.
Yogurt & Granola: Add a dollop of yogurt and sprinkle granola for a balanced breakfast.
Savory Sides: For a satisfying contrast, serve with scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage.
Beverages: Freshly brewed coffee, orange juice, or a refreshing smoothie pairs perfectly.
