- For Making Pancakes using the mix:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- ¾ cup milk or more for desired consistency

Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Store the Mix:
- Transfer the dry pancake mix to an airtight container or a large Ziploc bag. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
- Instructions for Making Pancakes (from the mix):
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix (it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy).
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
