Original Buttermilk Pancake Mix
What it is
This is a dry mix designed to make fluffy, tender pancakes with a classic buttermilk flavor. It contains pre-measured dry ingredients like flour, leavening agents, sugar, and salt, along with dried buttermilk. The mix simplifies the pancake-making process, requiring only the addition of wet ingredients like eggs, milk, and oil or melted butter. It's formulated to create a batter that cooks up light and airy, providing a satisfying breakfast or brunch option.
How people cook with it
This mix is a convenient way to prepare homemade pancakes quickly. It's ideal for busy mornings or when you want a simple, comforting meal.
- Quick breakfast pancakes
- Brunch staple
- Dessert crepes
- Waffle batter base
To prepare, simply combine the contents of the package with the specified amounts of liquid ingredients, typically milk, eggs, and a bit of melted butter or oil. Whisk until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike homemade pancake batter, this mix offers consistency and speed. The inclusion of dried buttermilk provides a tangy flavor profile and contributes to a tender crumb, which can be harder to achieve consistently from scratch. It's designed for ease of use, reducing the need to measure multiple dry ingredients.

How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused mix to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This helps keep the leavening agents active for future use.
