I have found while travelling around and living in a caravan, our boys went off the traditional cereal for breakfast and with the lack of storage in a van, I was looking for new breakfast ideas for them. We all love pancakes and purchasing the pre-made jugs was becoming a little expensive and they do take up a lot of room in the small pantry in our van, so I decided to try and make our own, homemade instant pancake mix.
Homemade Instant Pancake Mix
The great thing with this recipe is the way you can make bulk pancake or waffle mix and have it stored in your cupboard. Then when you are ready to use, you add a couple of wet ingredients: egg, oil, and water. I store some of the pancake mix in an airtight container at home and for when we are travelling, I add 2 cups of pancake mix to a ziplock bag and tape the recipe to the front of the bag for easy storage.
