Homemade Bulk Pancake Mix
The one thing I really love to do for the holiday season is give homemade gifts to family and friends. For gifts this year, I thought it would be fun to give the recipe for homemade bulk pancake mix that I’ve been using for years.
This way when we want pancakes for breakfast all I need to do is get out my mason jar with the pre-made mix and start cooking. It really does make life easier. And this recipe tastes so much better than what you would normally purchase in a box in the grocery store!
Pancake Mix in a Jar
This pancake mix in a jar recipe is super easy to put together. I even made printable labels and tags for you to use! Grab a few mason jars, print out the labels and you have a really nice gift to give to your neighbors, teachers and even family members.
When your friends are ready to make homemade pancakes for breakfast one morning over the holiday season, all they need to do is add the milk and egg and in a few minutes they have a delicious breakfast ready for their family.
Ingredients:

Measure everything into a large batter bowl or a mixing bowl. Then add to the large mason jar using a wide mouth canning funnel.

Use a wide mouth funnel to help add the ingredients to the mason jar.

How to Make Homemade Pancakes from a Bulk Mix Recipe
How to Serve Homemade Pancakes
Serve these homemade pancakes hot of the griddle with butter and warm maple syrup. I love making Homemade Strawberry Sauce or even Homemade Blueberry Sauce to pour on top of the pancakes.
How to Freeze Leftover Pancakes
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.
I sometimes send them with my husband to work as he leaves the house really early without having breakfast.
Printable labels available to help you make this fun gift!
Once you sign up for my newsletter you’ll be able to print out the labels to make your own Pancake Mix as a Gift or just to use for your own kitchen.
If you’re already a subscriber and need the labels, check your emails! I always include the link to the Printables Library. Or you can comment on this post and I’ll send the link directly to YOU!
How to Print the Labels
When you’re ready to print, you will be taken to Box.com where you can download the printable. Once the printable is downloaded, you’ll be able to print it out using whichever print program you have for your computer.
I recommend printing the labels on card stock paper for the gift tags. Regular printer paper will be fine for the baking instructions.
Cut out the labels and adhere to the mason jars using double side tape. Add the homemade gift tags using red and white twine. You now have a great hostess gift ready for all your holiday gift-giving needs.

How many pancakes does this make?
Hi Cheryl! How many pancakes the recipe makes depends on the size of pancakes you prepare, but you should get about 6 – 8 pancakes following the directions of 1 cup mix, 1 cup milk and 1 egg. I always double that when preparing breakfast for my family of four. Thank you for visiting!
Thank you sharing your link on the Classy Flamingos Blog Party we’ve enjoyed it. Come back soon. poinsettiadr.com
This is such an adorable idea, and the printables are so cute!
Great gift idea! We love our pancakes so we’d love such a homemade gift.
is the milk amount correct
Yes, it’s 1 cup mix, 1 cup milk and 1 egg mixed together. Sometimes depending on the day I may need to add an extra tablespoon or 2 of the mix. Always make sure you shake the mix together before measuring out a cup of it in case some of the ingredients have settled.
