Homemade Pancake and Waffle Mix

By Linda Larsen, About.com Guide

The combination of grains and flours in this simple mix recipe make the most wonderfully flavored pancakes and waffles. You can, however, use just one or two of the flour types if you like a less complicated pancake (or waffle).

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup instant oatmeal
  • 8 cups flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1-1/2 cups buckwheat flour (or more whole wheat flour)
  • 1 cup corn flour (masa)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 cups buttermilk powder
  • 5 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp. baking soda
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. malt powder

Preparation:

Place instant oatmeal in a food processor or blender and process until ground. In a very large bowl, blend ground oatmeal, flours, buckwheat flour, corn flour, cornmeal, ground oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and malt powder. Pour pancake mix into four 1 quart jars (you may need to tap the jars to settle the mix and get it all to fit). Store in a cool, dry place for up to one year.
