Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix
What it is
This is a convenient dry mix designed to make fluffy pancakes and crisp waffles. It contains flour, leavening agents, and flavorings, so you only need to add a few wet ingredients to prepare the batter. The buttermilk in the mix contributes to a tender texture and a slightly tangy taste that is characteristic of traditional buttermilk pancakes.
How people cook with it
This mix is a go-to for quick breakfasts and brunches. It simplifies the process of making classic breakfast favorites.
- Morning pancakes
- Weekend waffles
- Quick breakfast treat
- Brunch staple
To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of mix into a bowl. Add milk, eggs, and oil or melted butter according to the package directions. Whisk the ingredients together until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or waffle iron to medium-high heat. Pour batter onto the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. For waffles, pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook until steaming stops.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike scratch recipes, this mix pre-measures the dry ingredients, including leavening. The inclusion of buttermilk powder provides a distinct tang and tenderness that is different from mixes that use regular milk or no dairy.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to make delicious pancakes and waffles will appreciate this mix.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining mix in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This helps maintain freshness and prevents clumping from moisture. Properly stored, it can be kept for several months.
