Creating your own Pancake & Waffle Mix is an impressive way to tackle breakfast with style. With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up fluffy pancakes or crispy waffles whenever the mood strikes. Let’s explore how to make the versatile mix for weekend brunch or everyday family meals.
When making Pancake & Waffle Mix, you can experiment with various types of flour, such as whole wheat or gluten-free options, to accommodate dietary preferences. If you are sensitive to salt, consider reducing the amount or using a salt substitute. Always opt for fresh baking powder for the best results, as its potency can diminish over time, leading to less fluffy pancakes and waffles. Nonfat dry milk powder can be replaced with regular milk or a dairy-free alternative when mixing up your batter, just remember to adjust the liquid accordingly.

Pancake & Waffle Mix Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons baking powder
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups instant nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons of baking powder, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 2 cups of instant nonfat dry milk powder, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- When ready to make pancakes or waffles, measure out 1 1/2 cups of the pancake mix you’ve prepared and pour it into a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 cup of water, 1 beaten egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry mix. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix as that can lead to tough pancakes or waffles.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
- Pour the batter onto the skillet, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. For waffles, follow the instructions for your waffle iron, using the same batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
