Easy Pancake Recipe With Homemade Pancake Mix

  • Lightly oil a griddle or large skillet with cooking spray. Set it on the stovetop over medium-high heat. If you’re using an electric skillet, plug it in and dial the knob to 350ºF.
  • Whisk together 1 1/8 cups homemade pancake mix (small batch) with 1 whole egg, 3/4 cup of milk (or buttermilk), and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, ’til just combined.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the a hot, lightly oiled griddle. Let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium-low heat, ’til the batter bubbles through and the bottom is a deep golden color.
  • Flip your pancakes, and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Transfer each pancake onto a baking sheet in a 170ºF oven as they finish cooking. The oven will keep them warm until you’re ready to eat.

Notes

How to Make a Big Batch of Pancake Mix

Making a big batch is the same recipe with a bigger bowl. The ratio is 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt for every 1 cup of flour. For example, a 6-cup batch uses 6 cups flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons baking powder, and 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) salt.
One small batch of pancakes uses 1 1/8 cups of pancake mix, plus 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk), and 2 tablespoons oil. That makes about 8 pancakes.
