Mark's Story -
Every Saturday morning, I wake up and make a big breakfast for the family. It involves pancakes (sometimes I add blueberries to the pancake batter), turkey sausage, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. So, every Saturday morning, I would mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Then one day I realized, hey, why not mix all the dry ingredients together beforehand. I quadrupled the existing recipe that I had. Made a few minor adjustments so that it would come out to two cups - extremely minor adjustments. Now every Saturday morning, making the pancakes goes a little quicker. The trick is to mix it thoroughly when putting it all together and then to shake the canister around just a little before each use.
Mark's Notes -
I got the glass canister from Meijer.
This mix will hold 8 cups of dry pancake mix. Every Saturday morning, I use 2 cups, and it makes 12 pancakes. If you don't need that many pancakes for breakfast, then feel free to cut the recipe in half. This batter basically lasts our family a month. Maybe a little less if I ever do a breakfast for dinner.
