Complete Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix
What it is
This is a convenient dry mix designed to make fluffy buttermilk pancakes and crisp waffles. It contains all the necessary dry ingredients, including flour, leavening agents, sugar, and buttermilk powder. The mix is formulated to provide a consistent texture and a classic buttermilk flavor with minimal effort. It simplifies the process of making breakfast favorites from scratch, requiring only the addition of wet ingredients.
How people cook with it
This mix is a go-to for busy mornings when a quick and satisfying breakfast is desired. It's also great for weekend brunches or even as a base for other sweet treats.
- Quick breakfast pancakes
- Crispy waffles
- Sweet batter for fritters
- Base for dessert crepes
To prepare, simply combine the dry mix with the suggested amount of milk and eggs in a bowl. Whisk until just combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine. For pancakes, heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. For waffles, preheat your waffle iron and pour the batter onto the center, cooking according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other mixes, this one is 'complete,' meaning it already includes the fat and leavening. This eliminates the need to add oil or baking powder separately. The inclusion of buttermilk powder contributes a distinct tangy flavor and tenderness that differentiates it from mixes made with regular milk or water.

How to keep the rest
After opening, ensure the box is tightly closed to prevent moisture from entering. Store the remaining mix in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Proper storage helps maintain the freshness and leavening power of the ingredients for future use.
