What Can I Add to Pancakes for Flavor?

Now these pancakes are heavenly just the way they are drizzled with pure maple syrup… but if you wondering how to jazz up pancakes, here are some delicious twists you can play around with, too!

Churro Pancakes Recipe:

• Use this recipe but make these tweaks…
• Instead of 1/4 cup Sugar, use 1/2 cup Sugar
• Add 2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon to mix
• Add 1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg to mix
• When pancakes are done, sprinkle each one with plenty of Cinnamon Sugar {you can mix some up by stirring together 1/3 cup Sugar with 1.5 tsp. Ground Cinnamon}

Blueberry Pancakes Recipe:

• Use this recipe but after you initially pour the batter on the skillet, place several blueberries on each pancake as it cooks, flip, finish cooking, and enjoy!

Grinch Pancakes Recipe:

• Use this recipe, but add 1 tsp. Green Food Coloring to pancake batter before cooking.  After cooking, top your stack of pancakes with whip cream and red heart-shaped sprinkles.

How Do You Know When Pancakes Are Done on One Side?

When you’re cooking pancakes, be on the lookout for tiny bubbles that start to form. Once several bubbles have formed on your pancake, you can go ahead and flip them to begin cooking the other side.

Can You Freeze Pancakes Once Cooked?

Yes… you sure can!  Cooked pancakes freeze well for up to 1 month!  To freeze pancakes, allow them to cool completely… then you can either flash freeze them on a cookie sheet for 1 hour, or just layer them in a stack with a piece of wax paper between each pancake. Then transfer pancakes to a freezer ziploc bag, and freeze up to 1 month. When you’re ready to make your pancakes again, you can just pull out how many you need and reheat in the oven, toaster, or microwave.

Homemade Pancake Mix Recipe from Scratch! {Perfect Fluffy Pancakes}

This fluffy Pancake Mix Recipe is easy to make and whips up some seriously amazing pancakes.

Prep Time5 minutes mins

Cook Time6 minutes mins

Total Time11 minutes mins

Course: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Keyword: fluffy pancakes, pancake mix, pancake recipe

Servings: 2 dozen

Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

• Ingredients for Mix Only:
• 3 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar {White Sugar}
• 2 tbsp. Baking Powder
• 1 tsp. Salt
• Wet Ingredients for Pancake Batter:
• 2 1/2 cups 2% Milk* heated to warm
• 2 large Eggs lightly beaten
• 4 tbsp. {1/2 stick} Butter melted
• 2 tsp. Vanilla

Instructions

• In large mixing bowl, whisk together Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt until well combined. Transfer to mason jars or airtight storage containers to store.
• When ready to make your pancakes, transfer mixture back into a large mixing bowl.
• In medium mixing bowl, whisk together Milk, Eggs, Butter, and Vanilla until well combined.
• Pour wet mixture into large mixing bowl with dry ingredients, and stir with wooden spoon until just combined. Do NOT over stir batter… lumpy batter is okay. Let batter rest for 15 minutes before using.
• Heat Cast Iron or Nonstick Pan or Griddle to medium-hot heat, spray or drizzle with cooking oil {I use Avocado oil}, and ladle circles of batter onto griddle for pancakes.
• Once several bubbles begin to appear, flip to brown other side. ENJOY!
• PANCAKE MIX FRESHNESS TIP: If making up some mix for your pantry or as a gift in a jar, just check the expiration dates on your Flour and Baking Powder, and use those to determine your pancake mix expiration date.
• PANCAKE FREEZING TIP: Once you have cooked your pancakes, allow them to cool completely... then you can either flash freeze them on a cookie sheet for 1 hour, or just layer them in a stack with a piece of wax paper between each pancake. Then transfer pancakes to a freezer ziploc bag, and freeze up to 1 month. When you're ready to make your pancakes again, you can just pull out how many you need and reheat in the oven, toaster, or microwave.

Notes

*If using nonfat milk, use just 2 cups, heated to warm
