It never fails. The kids want pancakes, or you are trying to make biscuits for with dinner and you go to the pantry only to find yourself completely out of baking mix. ~sigh~ That just drives me nuts. Now you can make your own anytime of day and keep it on hand so you never run out again! The best part is you will know what is inside. No chemicals or preservatives…just whole ingredients.
You can even substitute whole wheat flour, or even rice or almond flour for gluten free pancakes.

How much of the baking soda exactly?
Aleisha…I fixed the post. Is is 1/4 cup baking powder.
Thank you for your recipes. I am wondering if you kept track of what it cost you? I am trying to figure out if it will save me money, given the increased time and coupons on pancake mix. Thanks in advance.
$1.69 for 6 cups of mix or 3 batches of pancakes when you use margarine. Atleast, that is an average for what the ingredients cost me.
Thank you sooo much! That helps a lot~
Thanks so much for this. My 2 year old wanted pancakes this morning at we had no mix. You have saved my morning and wallet. Biscuits for dinner, yummmmmm.
Comments like yours make me happy! Glad your little one got pancakes and the recipe helped!
My family just made our pancakes from this recipe and it was great! Thanks for a quick and simple solution!
nice! thanks so much.
I have been making this for a few weeks and it is great! I have even made waffles: 2 cups mix, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons oil.
