Homemade pancake mix is just a few ingredients and is very simple to make yourself. It’s a great thing to keep on hand for when you want to make some quick pancakes for breakfast.
At some point, I realized that most pancake mix is just four basic ingredients. It takes just a couple of minutes to make your own to have on hand.
For years I’ve made my own homemade pancake mix and stored it in a large glass jar. While I often use my homemade Bisquick to make pancakes, this pancake mix doesn’t have to be refrigerated so it’s even easier to keep on hand.
Pancakes are also great to make in bulk and freeze. I like to lay the pancakes on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and once they freeze I put them in a Pyrex container so I can pull out a few at a time. I warm them in the toaster oven and they are perfect.
Be sure to put the instructions on your container so you remember how to make the pancakes from the mix. You can make a cute label or just stick a post-it note on it, that’s what I’ve done for years.

I bet that would make a sweet gift with a little ribbon tied around it. You could do it for biscuits or quick breads, too. Thanks for the idea!

I'm making these this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!

I'll have to try it with rice flour and rice milk and see if it's any good gluton free/ dairy free. Thanks for sharing.

Great “mix” without all the other junk they put in the “box” kind.
I grate fresh apple and add a little cinnamon as well.
Glass jars are all I use for food storage now – I can see what I have in the pantry!

Abbie: Yes it would.
Green Girl: Hope they work well for you.
Steph: You will have to let me know how they turn out.
It's The Journey: Yeah and cheaper!
Sounds yummy!!!
I have been saving a lot of my glass jars. They are great for storing pasta, pancake mix and pretty much everything!
I love that I can just throw them in the dishwasher and know they are totally clean.

I have to confess that I used Bisquick last night but as soon as the rest of that box is gone I'll be switching to your recipe. Thanks Lisa!

I just tried these tonight. Yum! I made a batch for us to eat and then mixed up a jar of dry ingredients for another night.

How many pancakes does one batch make? Can I double the recipe and measure out one batch when making?
Lisa Sharp
That will depend on how large you make your pancakes. I get about 10 larger pancakes. You can double it and just use half of the mix.
