Favorite Pancake Toppings
My favorite way to enjoy pancakes is simply with butter and warm maple syrup. It helps that our daughter-in-law is from Vermont and we now have the best syrup available to us!
I love making Homemade Strawberry Sauce or my Homemade Blueberry Sauce to pour on top of the pancakes. And you can't beat fresh fruit with maybe whipped cream!
Freezing Tips
These pancakes even freeze well! So if you happen to have leftovers, lay them flat on a baking tray lined with parchment baking sheets and place in the freezer to "flash freeze" for about 30 minutes or so.
Next, remove them from the baking tray and place the frozen pancakes in a freezer safe bag. You then have pancakes for busy mornings that you can easily reheat in the microwave.
How to Print the Labels
Fill out the form below you'll be able to print out the labels to use when you make your own Pancake Mix as a Gift or just to use for your own kitchen.
- I recommend printing the labels on card stock paper for the gift tags.
- Cut out the gift tags and attach them using using red and white twine. You now have a great hostess gift ready for all your holiday gift-giving needs.

Becks says
I made these into waffles, they were very light but although I used one egg- it had a very eggy taste☹️ not sure what I did wrong
Lois says
Thanks so much for your comment! This homemade mix was created and tested for pancakes, not for waffles. Using it in a waffle iron may produce different results than preparing it as written. I hope you'll try the recipe again and make pancakes!
