Homemade Pancakes Mix (Best Buttermilk Pancakes)

The Homemade Pancakes Mix recipe starts with a dry blend containing flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. When ready to cook, wet ingredients including buttermilk, eggs, neutral oil, and vanilla extract are whisked separately and combined with the dry mix just until incorporated to avoid overmixing, which can toughen pancakes.

Cooking happens on a heavy-bottom pan or griddle over medium-low heat, where small pools of bubbles form on the surface, and edges change color to indicate when to flip. The bubbles help hold the pancakes’ structure and prevent them from becoming flat.

Serving with butter and maple syrup complements the mild sweetness and fluffy texture. The pancake mix can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or sealed for frozen storage up to three months, allowing for convenient preparation of fresh pancakes whenever desired.
