Pancakes (Mix and prepare)

Pancake Mix
10 cups flour (we did half white & whole wheat)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 baking powder
2 Tbsp salt
2 1/2 cups powdered milk

Mix together & store.

To use:
1 1/2 cups Pancake Mix
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup water
3 Tbsp cooking oil

Put dry mix in bowl. Add wet ingredients. Mix together. If too thick add more water. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cook on hot oiled griddle about 3 minutes, until brown on both sides. Makes ten 4 inch pancakes.

(We used powdered egg also to keep it rotated in our food storage. Then no need for egg to cook, and slightly more water.
I'm sure you could leave out powered milk, and then use milk instead of water when you mix it up.)

Also makes a good tempura batter for onion rings, etc. Dip and deep fry.


Addendum:
For a more whole grain pancake, I use the following recipe.

1c white flour
1c wheat flour
1c rolled oats (three way split on grains)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 Tbsp cooking oil
2 cups milk

Very flavorful and more whole grain. 🙂

I mix up batches of dry ingredients, then add 3 cups dry with the milk, oil, & eggs.
