Weekday Pancakes from a Homemade Mix
Printable Recipe
In your Mason jar combine:
2 cups flour (I use all whole wheat; use what you like)
3 T. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
For your label write:
Basic Pancakes
Add:
1 egg
1 1/2 cups milk
2 T. melted butter
Cook on griddle over medium heat
Make up enough jars for a month of weekday pancakes (4 in my house, we have pancakes once a week), add a lid, slap on the label, and store until your busy weekday morning.
When that busy morning comes, just pour the contents of the jar into a medium bowl, make a well in the center, add all of the wet ingredients as listed on the label and whisk together. Cook as directed. Serve with your go-to pancake topping.
This hopefully just took a little crazy out of your morning and still got a great breakfast on the table for your household to enjoy!
Did you know today is National Pancake day?
Actually I didn’t know! It must be good Karma 🙂
I do this too with my gluten free food, because some days it seems too hard to get out all the ingredients. I just put them in ziploc bags. I like the jar idea though.
How many servings does one mason jar make?
It makes 6-10 pancakes depending on size. So I’d say it serves 4-6 (it is just right for my family of me and my husband and our three little kids) if you have a bigger family you might want to try adding a half batch to the jar! Let me know how it works!
how much of the mix do you put in the mason jar?
You put the whole recipe in the jar- it’s one batch of pancakes. Then just dump it in the bowl and add the wet ingredients when it’s time to make them and enjoy!
Would you use regular pancake syrup and butter?
We like real maple syrup and butter or homemade strawberry jam best! Whatever you normally have on pancakes will work great! Enjoy!
Do you store your fresh ground wheat in the jars? I’ve found after a few days it begins to taste stale….
I do! My pantry is pretty cold, so it seems to stay fresh enough.
Hello! Am confused, you don’t use refined sugar but in your recipe there is sugar? What kind of sugar is that? I am thinking about doing clean eating for myself and the family, and do like the idea of it but found it difficult to imagine not using refined sugar.
I have a lot of luck with coconut sugar. This recipe is old, so I haven’t changed it, I just leave the sugar out now and top them with real maple syrup or fruit. The recipe won’t be affected by leaving out the sugar! And I do use refined sugar, just not most of the time, when I make treats though I just use normal sugar (like birthday cake!) I just try to avoid it for most meals and snacks.
