As much as we love the practicality of overnight porridge or steel-cut oatmeal for breakfast, let’s face it: sometimes you just want a maple syrup-topped stack of pancakes or waffles to start the day. Put those moments in arm’s reach by keeping an everyday pancake and waffle mix on hand.

As The Kitchn points out, a pre-made dry mix is an easy way to cut steps out of the pancake-making process without taking any shortcuts that compromise food quality or freshness. It’s a mix of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; just mix in wet ingredients (eggs, milk, butter, vanilla) when the mood strikes, and you’re one hot pan away from a fresh flapjack.
Writer Tessa Huff adds:
Making it yourself means you will know the exact ingredients going into your own mix, you will be reducing waste by eliminating the package itself, and you’ll probably even save a penny or two on ingredients.
The best part: this mix (recipe below) works for both pancakes and waffles, and can be adjusted to accommodate whole-grain flours or alternative sweeteners.
