How to Make Dry Pancake Mix
You only need four ingredients: All-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Combine them in a bowl and then transfer the mix to an airtight container. I like to use a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
The mix will make approximately 42 pancakes.
Mix Label
I’ve included a printable for the jar. It’s great if you’re giving it as a gift and includes the instructions for making the mix and instructions for making a batch of pancakes.
You can also use it for yourself – that way, you won’t forget how much mix to use and the amounts for the other ingredients. I hope you find it helpful! Don’t forget to print it – it’s linked right above the recipe card.
How to Make a Batch of Pancakes
Once you have your mix, it’s so easy to make a batch of pancakes! Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make a batch of six pancakes:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted plus extra for greasing the pan
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Grease a griddle or nonstick pan with butter and heat it to medium heat.
Measure 1/4 cup of the batter to make each pancake. Cook them until bubbles start to form and pop on top. This will take about three to four minutes.
Flip them over and cook them on the other side for a couple of minutes or until golden brown.

This pancake recipe is the best! I am so pleased that not only are they tasty, but I know what’s in them and can avoid ingredients I can’t even pronounce.
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed it Mary Jane!! Thanks for commenting and rating the recipe!
Malinda says
These pancakes were so good!! The kids loved them!
Amelia says
Great recipe! It would be helpful if you could also include metric measurements in your baking and cooking recipes. Thank you!
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry Amelia, 98% of my readers are from the US and I personally am not an expert on the conversions so I have never done it 🙁
Danielle says
These are the perfect pancakes! Kids gobbled them right up!
Diane says
I love all your recipes, but I need to go gluten free if you have any gluten free recipes I would really appreciate them. Thank you
Julie Evink says
Hi Diane! I’m so sorry but I do not specialize in a gluten free diet!
Audrey says
How long does the dry mix keep?
Julie Evink says
It should keep up to 6 months if stored in an airtight container in a dry cool place. Hope that helps!
Alison LaFortune says
Homemade mix is the best! We love this as a base for fun pancakes– adding mix-ins and different flavor extracts.
Linda says
This is a great start. But how about taking it one step further to make it a just add water mix by using dried egg, milk and butter powder and powdered vanilla. This would make it perfect for camping or hiking, not to mention be a great addition to an emergency kit.
Julie Evink says
Hey Linda! Great idea. I haven’t tested it for those ingredients. I’m not a camper or hiker so I never though of that.
