Scale
Primary Dry Ingredients:
- 8 cups (1.9 liters) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) dry buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) baking powder
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Seasoning and Salt:
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) salted butter
- Pancake syrup (warmed, for topping)
Equipment:
- 8 quart-sized wide mason jars with lids
Instructions
- Craft a versatile pancake mix by combining flour, granulated sugar, powdered buttermilk, baking powder, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel. Meticulously distribute the dry mixture into 8 wide-mouth mason jars, allocating approximately 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) of pancake mix per container. Secure the lids tightly and store in a cool, dry environment until preparation time.
- When pancake cravings strike, pour 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) of water and 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of pure vanilla extract directly into a jar of prepared mix. Vigorously shake the container until the ingredients meld seamlessly, creating a smooth, consistent batter. Allow the mixture to rest for 3-5 minutes, enabling the dry components to fully absorb the liquid.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet to medium temperature, lightly coating the surface with unsalted butter to prevent sticking. Using a 1/4-cup (60 milliliters) measuring tool, gently ladle the batter onto the heated surface, forming round pancakes. Monitor the cooking process, watching for bubbles to form and edges to appear slightly dry.
- Flip the pancakes after 2-3 minutes, cooking the opposite side until a golden-brown hue is achieved. Each side should develop a delicate, crisp exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm serving plate.
- Elevate the breakfast experience by accompanying the pancakes with additional softened butter and warm maple syrup. For a gourmet touch, garnish with freshly sliced seasonal berries or caramelized banana rounds, creating a visually appealing and flavor-packed morning meal.
Notes
- Customize Your Pancakes: Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to create unique flavor combinations that’ll make breakfast exciting.
- Bubble Watching Technique: Look for small bubbles forming across the pancake surface and slightly dry edges as your signal to flip, ensuring a perfect golden-brown finish every time.
- Temperature Control Matters: Medium heat is your sweet spot for pancake perfection – too hot burns the outside, too cool makes them soggy and undercooked.
- Batter Resting Magic: Give your pancake batter a quick 3-5 minute rest after mixing to allow ingredients to blend and create those light, fluffy pancakes everyone loves.
- Mixing Secrets: Gently stir dry ingredients in the mix before adding liquids to distribute everything evenly and prevent clumpy pancakes that nobody wants to eat.
