Make Pancake Flour

Pancakes


Pancake flour, also known as pancake mix, is readily available at grocery stores, but you can save time and money by making your own pancake mix from scratch. The pancake flour you make at home will have the same necessary ingredients as the flour you would buy at the store, except yours will not have artificial additives like preservatives, making your pancake batter more delicious. Making your own pancake flour also means you can use fresh, high-quality ingredients for your batter or leave out other ingredients like baking soda or milk depending on your dietary restrictions.


Instructions


1. Add all of the ingredients into an airtight storage container.


2. Shake the storage container to combine all of the ingredients.








3. Store the flour for no more than four months.








4. To use the flour, whisk together two egg whites into 2 cups buttermilk, and two egg yolks into 4 tbsp. melted butter. Combine the two egg mixtures and lightly whisk the mixture into 2 cups of pancake flour. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to over mix. Heat a griddle, butter it lightly, wipe the butter off and pour some of the batter onto the griddle. Flip when the bottom is golden brown and cook until the pancake is set. Serve immediately.
