Homemade American Pancake Mix (Dry Mix)

Ingredients (Makes About 10 Cups Dry Mix)

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl until evenly combined.

  2. Transfer to an airtight container or zip-top bag.

  3. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

💡 Label the container with instructions for quick use.

How to Make Pancakes Using the Mix

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 1 cup American Pancake Mix

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

  2. Add pancake mix and stir just until combined (small lumps are fine).

  3. Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  4. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.

  5. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2 minutes.

  6. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Tips for Extra-Fluffy American Pancakes

  • Do not overmix—lumps = fluffiness

  • Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking

  • Use a medium heat (too hot = flat pancakes)

  • Fresh baking powder makes a big difference

Pancake Mix Variations

Buttermilk Pancakes

Replace milk with buttermilk for extra tang.

Whole Wheat Pancake Mix

Dairy-Free Pancakes
