Tips & Tricks
- Salted Butter Option: Skip the salt in the mix if using salted butter when preparing the pancakes.
- For Fluffier Pancakes: Sift the pancake mix before adding wet ingredients; it helps create a lighter texture.
- Storage Tip: Store pancake mix in a cool, dry place for best texture for up to 2 months. If you need to refrigerate or freeze it, leave out the sugar and add it fresh when preparing pancakes, as sugar can alter the texture in cold storage.
Variations
- Buttermilk Pancakes: Substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangy flavor and extra fluffy pancakes.
- Vanilla Pancakes: Add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for a hint of sweetness.
- Cinnamon-Spiced Pancakes: Mix in a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter for a cozy, spiced flavor.
