HOMEMADE PANCAKE MIX 
10 c. all-purpose flour (3 lbs.)
2 1/2 c. instant nonfat dry milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. baking power
2 tbsp. salt

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir together to blend well. Put in a large airtight container. Label. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 to 8 months. Makes about 13 cups of pancake mix. This mix works for both waffles and pancakes.

TO MAKE PANCAKES OR WAFFLES:

2 c. homemade pancake mix
1 c. water
1 egg
2 tbsp. oil (waffles - 3 tbsp.)

Beat smooth with a wire whisk or fork. This makes eight (4 inch) pancakes or four large waffles.

Here is our syrup recipe: (better than "store bought"!)

Syrup:

1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. pure maple syrup

Combine ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil gently until sugar is completely dissolved. Store in tightly covered container in the cupboard. Keeps indefinitely.

Variations: To make pecan waffles, sprinkle chopped pecans on the batter just before closing the waffle iron. For strawberry waffles, top hot waffle with fresh or thawed frozen strawberries and whipped cream.

I made these this morning and they came out wonderful. I actually added two cups of whole wheat flour to the recipe and it gave the pancakes a thicker consistency. It is nice to know that I have homemade pancake mix for my family. We are trying to have more meals that are less processed.

Love the recipe... so easy and they were nice and fluffy! I substituted half of the milk with dry buttermilk and also added 1 tsp. vanilla. Next time I might use all dry buttermilk for a richer flavor.
