Bulk Pancake Mix From Scratch Recipe!

Bulk From Scratch Pancake Mix Hero

Making homemade recipe mixes is a great way to save money.  We all know that the boxed stuff is full of preservatives and unknown ingredients. Pancake mix from scratch is very easy to make in bulk and so nice to always have on hand!

Check out this easy recipe:

Ingredients

    • 6 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons baking powder

1 tablespoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients together really well.
  2. Store in an airtight container in a dry location.

To make pancakes:

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup pancake mix

Pancake Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl mix egg and milk.
  2. Add the pancake mix. Stir until combined.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup pancake on a hot skillet.
  4. Flip pancake once little bubbles start to appear. Yields 6 pancakes.

If you’re using it for a camping trip, go ahead and mix up the wet and dry ingredients and put them in a pourable container and keep cold until use.

Remember when you go to use the pancake mix to stir the dry mix before measuring. The ingredients may settle while sitting on the shelf.

Moist Apple Griddle Scones!

Moist Apple Griddle Scones!

Susan is back with another yummy recipe!  Moist Apple Griddle Scones:

I am a part of a Secret Recipe Club and I am assigned to another blogger and my instructions are to choose one of the recipes she (or he) has blogged about……and re-create it, adding my own spin to it, if I want.  This month, I was assigned to What’s Brewing in the Kitchen and I have looked at many of the recipe posts she has written.  I saw so many things that I wanted to try that I had a hard time deciding which to cook.

So, I went with her Apple Scones. Two reasons……I have a lot of apples and I have had a hankering for a good scone. And…..oh, my, my……these were delicious scones! I think Amy got the recipe from The Apple Cookbook. I may need that cookbook.

For one thing, these scones are cooked on a griddle in butter.  Really?  So the outside is browned and a little more done than the inside.  The inside remains very moist.  Then, dot them with butter.  Yea…..more butter…..and serve with a little hot tea.  I chose Orange Spice, which went nicely with Cinnamon/Nutmeg flavored Apple Scones.

Here is the recipe.  You won’t be disappointed.  Thanks Amy!

APPLE SCONES

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Honey Flavored Greek Yogurt (or plain….or buttermilk)
  • 1 large apple (I used Fuji)
Instructions
  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix.
  2. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles large crumbs.
  3. Add the egg and yogurt and mix well.
  4. Peel, core and finely chop the apple. Stir into the yogurt mixture.
  5. The dough will be pretty sticky.
  6. Divide the dough into 8 even pieces. On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick round or football shaped piece. Because they are so sticky, you won’t be able to roll these or do much with them. Flour your hands and the surface really well.
  7. Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over low to medium heat. Melt butter on it and cook the scones for 5 minutes, until they are golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook for 4 minutes longer, serve warm.

French Blueberry Pancakes!

French Blueberry Pancakes!

Susan is back with another fantastic recipe!  French Blueberry Pancakes:

Well, I normally take the easy road and use Bisquick or some other pancake mix but when I want a really good pancake, I use a recipe from my “Joy of Cooking” cookbook (the newer one…I have two). 

My grandchildren were here the other morning and Poppy decided they needed some of these tasty treats.  The recipe is for French pancakes. 

FRENCH PANCAKES

Mix in one bowl:

  • 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

In another bowl:

  • Beat 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2—3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • Butter for griddle

Mix the two bowls of ingredients together and add the blueberries.  DO NOT OVERMIX. I prefer to use buttermilk in place of the milk.  I also like to add oats for added texture. 

But this time, I followed the recipe and the kids loved them…..and so did I.

@GroceryShopFREEHi, my name is Susan and Permanent Posies (Creative Chaos) is my blog and my subject matter is…well, that depends on the day and the mood.
