Mix ingredients together, and cook on griddle over medium heat.
Instructions
To make the homemade pancake mix:
Add the dry ingredients to a quart-sized mason jar (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt).
Repeat with more dry ingredients and more jars to make up enough jars for a month of weekday pancakes (4 in my house, we have pancakes once a week), and add the lids.
Write out a label, and stick it to the jar (thick masking tape works great to write labels on).
Store until your busy weekday morning.
To make the pancakes :
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 (egg, oil, and milk), and whisk together. Cook on a well-greased griddle, skillet, or cast iron pan over medium heat, until golden-brown on both sides.
Serve with your go-to pancake topping, such as maple syrup, yogurt, honey, or berries.
Notes
If using whole wheat flour, you'll probably need to add a few tablespoons more milk so that the batter is thin enough to pour.
