Basic Pancake Mix

Say goodbye to aunt jemima! Once you taste these homemade pancakes, i think you'll agree they're much better than the boxed kind! add a bit of vanilla or fruit (frozen blueberries work well) to make them extra special. If you want, mix up the dry ingredients in advance and give it away as a gift (with instructions on how to finish making the pancakes) or just store it for even quicker pancakes on sunday mornings.

Steps

In a bowl , mix together all the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
Start with 1 1 / 4 cups milk , adding up to another 1 / 4 cup if necessary , as you mix it with the flour.
Add the two eggs , vanilla if using and oil , whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
Heat a frying pan and when hot , pour in some pancake mix.
How much depends on how experienced you are at flipping pancakes and how big you want them.
We do about 1 / 4 cup a time for small , easy-to-flip pancakes but you could make this as much as 1 / 2 cup of pancake mix.
If you are adding fruit , i like to sprinkle it on top of the pancake now.
When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side , turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
The first pancake is always a bit of a test so adjust the batter by adding more flour if you need to make it thicker or more milk if you want a thinner pancake.
In either case , just add a few spoo.
