Dry Pancake Mix - egg free!

Pancakes are a favourite of just about everyone, myself included.  I adore them, hot and smothered in syrup.  Lashings of syrup!  A few years ago I was searching the internet for a dry pancake mix to take with us on our yearly camping trip.  I found a few that I liked and created my own.  This is what I came up with and have been using it ever since.

I am amazed by the commercial pancake mixes you can buy.  The ingredient list reads like a science experiment.  I don't have a degree in the sciences so they are a bit of a mystery to me. With no less than 12 ingredients in each, I vowed that I could create one with ingredients I have in my own cupboard, so I did!

It was my husband who suggested that I share this recipe.  I have been using this for so long that I don't really think about it.  To be honest, I didn't think anyone would be interested in a recipe so simple.

I always have this dry mix ready for use, this recipe will make enough for 3 batches of pancakes.  This recipe can be double, tripled and quadrupled (just make sure you have a container big enough to hold it all).  This will keep for 12 months in a Tupperware style container.  No Egg can be found in the health food section of Coles or your local health food store.  It's a really handy product that I always have on hand (even if there are no eggs left in the fridge, I can still cook something for lunch boxes).

Recipe:

4 cups Self Raising Flour
1 cup dry milk powder
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 Organ No Egg
1/2 tablespoon Baking Powder

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients and mix with a whisk (yes you read right - using a whisk eliminates the lumps and stirs well without sifting)
Transfer to an air tight Tupperware style container and store away until you need it.

To use this mix: combine 1 1/2 cups of the dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of canola/sunflower or blended vegetable oil.  Mix well to combine.  Heat a frypan with butter and add some of the batter to cook the pancakes.  You should get between 8 and 10 pancakes.

Happy Cooking!
