Homemade Instant Pancake Mix

Store bought pancake mix is a thing of the past in this household. I do believe I have found THE perfect homemade pancake. Not to mention this is a mix so you can make your instant mix then make batches of it when needed. I can never make a perfectly round pancake or the perfectly golden brown pancake yet somehow my husband looks past this fault of mine and loves me anyway (especially when I make these pancakes).

Homemade Instant Pancakes

Yield: 8-12 pancakes

Ingredients:

2 eggs, separated

2 cups buttermilk

4 tablespoons melted butter

2 cups of your homemade instant pancake mix

some butter for greasing the pan

Directions:

Heat an electric griddle or non-stick pan to 350*. Whisk together egg whites and buttermilk. If you don't have buttermilk then combine two cups of milk with two tablespoons of lemon and let it sit for five minutes before using. In another bowl whisk butter and egg yokes together. Combine buttermilk mixture and egg yoke mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add pancake cake mix and stir to just combine. Don't worry about all the lumps.

Ladle pancake batter onto buttered, preheated griddle (or pan). When the pancake begins to form bubbles, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Sometimes I cool them on a greased cooling rack and freeze them to eat at a later date or slowly over the work week. Just pop them in the microwave a minute per pancake and they taste like you just flipped it out of the pan.
