Equipment

  • 2 Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Airtight container If storing

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour (for added nutrition)
  • 2 tbsp Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

For Just the Mix

  • In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until well incorporated.
  • Store the mix in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dark place.

To Make Pancakes

  • In a separate bowl, combine the following:
  • 1 cup of low-fat buttermilk (or substitute with 1/4 cup plain yogurt combined with 3/4 cup milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of the homemade pancake mix
  • Stir until combined (don’t worry if there are small lumps).
  • Heat a buttered griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle to form circles.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

To Make Waffles

  • Preheat your waffle iron.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the following:
  • 1 cup of low-fat buttermilk (or substitute as mentioned earlier)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of the homemade pancake mix
  • Stir until well combined.
  • Grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and close the lid.
  • Cook until golden and crispy.
  • Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
