Servings 8 large pancakes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder note: this is 1 tablespoon (not teaspoon!) and baking powder (not baking soda!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter (i.e. ½ stick)
- 1 cup milk 1%, 2%, or whole
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- For individual mixes: Measure out dry ingredients in quart-sized bags, close, and shake bag to combine. Attach printable tags to each bag or write on instructions (if writing, it's easier to write on the bag before filling).For a large container: In a large container, gallon-sized bag, or bowl, scale recipe 4-8x (use the setting above to easily scale!), and mix together dry ingredients. If measuring directly into the storage container, leave 3-4" on top of extra space so that you can shake it to combine. Attach printable tags to the container or write on instructions.
- When ready to make, mix with wet ingredients and stir until just combined (it can be a little lumpy, doesn't need to be totally smooth!).
- Cook on a griddle around 325-350℉ (my griddle runs hot so I do 325℉) or on medium-low heat in a pan on the stove. Wait for bubbles to form, then flip!
- Top with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, and whipped cream!
