H-E-B Buttermilk Complete Pancake & Waffle Mix
What it is
This is a convenient mix designed for making fluffy pancakes and crisp waffles. It contains all the necessary dry ingredients, including flour, leavening agents, and flavorings, so you only need to add wet ingredients. The buttermilk in the mix contributes a slight tang and tenderness to the finished product. It is formulated for ease of use, aiming to simplify breakfast preparation.
How people cook with it
This mix is a go-to for quick and easy breakfast or brunch meals. It is perfect for busy mornings when you want a homemade taste without the fuss.
- Quick breakfast pancakes
- Crispy homemade waffles
- Weekend brunch staple
- Easy dessert crepes
To prepare, simply combine the mix with the recommended amount of milk and eggs in a bowl. Whisk until just combined; a few lumps are fine. For pancakes, heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. For waffles, preheat your waffle iron and pour batter onto the hot surface, cooking according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some mixes that require separate additions like baking powder or milk powder, this is a 'complete' formula. The inclusion of buttermilk powder provides a distinct flavor profile and texture that is often sought after in traditional buttermilk pancakes and waffles, offering a slight tang and softer crumb compared to mixes without it.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps to maintain its freshness and prevent the absorption of moisture or odors. Properly stored, the mix should remain suitable for use for an extended period.
