Instructions

To Make Pancake Mix

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

To Make Pancakes

Lightly grease your griddle or pan and preheat to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
To make pancakes, combine 1 cup of pancake mix with milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. (For fluffier pancakes, let batter rest for 10 minutes).
Pour ¼ cup batter onto hot griddle and cook until bubbly and lightly browned (about 3 minutes). Flip and cook for 2 minutes more until browned on the second side. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Whisk the dry ingredients well so the baking powder, baking soda, and salt are evenly distributed.
Store the mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Mix the pancake batter just until combined so the pancakes stay tender.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes if you want fluffier pancakes.
Make-ahead tip: keep the dry mix in the pantry for up to 6 months or freeze it for up to 1 year.
