Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons shortening*
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • 1. Measure the flour in a dry measuring cup. Be sure to spoon the flour in and scrape the top for an even measurement. Place in a sifter or fine mesh strainer (my favorite) over a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • 2. Measure the baking powder and salt and place directly on top of the flour.
  • 3. Sift into the bowl. This should give you a light and fluffy mixture.
  • 4. Add the shortening. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the shortening into the mix until it resembles fine crumbs.
  • 5. Transfer to an air tight container and store until ready to use.

Notes

*You can substitute butter or oil for the shortening in this recipe. Be sure to store in the refrigerator if you do so.
This recipe will last three months if stored properly.

How to make pancakes from dry mix:

  1. Combine 1 cup of your dry mix with 1/2 cup of milk and 1 large egg.
  2. Whisk to combine.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of your batter onto a preheated grill.
  4. Cook until bubbles start to form on the top of your pancake batter and the edges slightly curl.
  5. Flip and continue to cook about 1 minute more or until golden brown.
