DIY Easy Instant Pancake Mix Recipe
How to make your own instant pancake mix recipe for fluffy American-style pancakes - an easy eco-friendly and plastic free alternative to ready made mixes.
Servings: 5 batches pancake mix
Ingredients
For the dry pancake mix (makes 5 batches of pancakes):
- 600 g plain flour
- 150 g dried milk powder
- 40 g golden caster sugar
- 3 Tbps baking powder
- 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp salt
For 1 batch of pancakes:
- 165 g dry pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil + extra for frying
- 150 ml water
Instructions
- Weigh out all of the dry pancake mix ingredients and place them in a large bowl.
- Mix them together really well until fully combined.
- Pour the mix into a large glass jar or air-tight container to store.
To make 1 batch of pancakes:
- Weigh out 165g of the dry pancake mix into a large bowl.
- Break 1 large egg and lightly whisk.
- Melt the coconut oil and add to the dry pancake mix along with the whisked egg and 150ml of water.
- Lightly whisk everything together until just combined.
- Heat a frying pan on the hob until hot. Add a little coconut oil and swirl it around the pan.
- Drop heaped spoonfuls of the pancake mixture into the pan and spread around a little with the back of the spoon to make round pancakes. Note: I found it easiest to make 2 pancakes at a time.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, then carefully flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and pop on a plate, then repeat until you have used up all the pancake mix.
- Serve your pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup, yum!
Notes
If you don't have coconut oil, you can use vegetable oil as a substitute.
