Instant Pancake Mix - Alton Brown

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp soda
  • 3 tsp baking poweder
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
combine all ingredients in air-tight container and shake to mix. use within 3 months

now to make pancakes with this mix...

  • 2 eggs seperated
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 cups instant pancake mix
heat griddle to 350.
whisk egg whites and buttermilk together. in seperate bowl mix yolks with butter. combine two mixtures together and mix well. pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. using whisk mix batter just enough to bring it together. don't work out all the lumps.
splash a little water on griddle, should dance across surface. adjust temp accordingly. lightly butter griddle, don't want to fry your pancakes wipe griddle with paper towel. so no butter should be visible. laddle on mixture, and add fruit to top if you like. when bubbles begin to set around edge of pancake and griddle side is browned. cook 2-3 minutes on other side til it is set. serve immediately or place in oven at 200 surrounded in towels.

Update: we made it today. DO NOT serve immediately. Put in oven for 5-10 minutes at 200 to keep warm. it takes a while for the pancake to set. but after it sets its AWESOME!!
