Original Pancake & Waffle Mix
What it is
This is a convenient dry mix designed to make fluffy pancakes and crisp waffles. It contains pre-measured flour, leavening agents, and seasonings, so you only need to add wet ingredients like milk, eggs, and oil. The mix is formulated for a classic, slightly sweet flavor that is a favorite for breakfast and brunch.
How people cook with it
This versatile mix is a go-to for quick and easy breakfasts. It can also be used for other baked goods.
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Crepes
- Muffins
To prepare, simply combine the dry mix with your chosen wet ingredients, such as milk, eggs, and a touch of melted butter or oil. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. For pancakes, pour batter onto a lightly greased hot griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface before flipping. For waffles, pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and steam subsides. The batter consistency can be adjusted slightly with more or less liquid.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to scratch-made batters, this mix offers significant time savings. It provides a consistent texture and flavor profile that is reliably good. While scratch recipes allow for more customization, this mix offers a dependable base for everyday enjoyment.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining mix in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Ensure the bag or container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can affect the leavening agents and overall texture of your baked goods. Proper storage helps maintain freshness.
