Works for me Wednesday

I found this recipe on the internet for pancake mix and thought I'd share for Works for me Wednesday (sponsored by Rocks in my Dryer).  I've been really disappointed with whole wheat pancake mixes from the store because they're all so gritty and heavy.  Jared won't eat pancakes unless they're light and fluffy.  So, I used whole wheat from my food storage and ground it in my mom's wheat grinder on the finest setting.  I also added powdered eggs from our food storage.  You probably can substitute dry nonfat milk for the buttermilk powder, too.  They turned out EXCELLENT.  Jared didn't realize they were whole wheat (not a speck of white flour).  I keep the mix in the freezer and it's ready to go whenever I want pancakes.

NOTES: * A make-it-yourself mix for buttermilk pancakes -- This recipe comes from the “More Make-a-mix Cookery” cookbook put out by HP Books. The premise of this book and its predecessor, Make-a-mix Cookery is that you can save time and money by making your own mixes for every stage of dinner planning. It seems to work.
Yield: 10 cups of mix of mix.
* Use the mix within 6 months of when you make it.
* The pancakes made from this mix aren't as sweet as those made from Aunt Jemima mix, but they are good. You can always add sugar, of course.
* Although we haven't tried this (yet), you could probably vary the recipe by using a different type of flour to make, for example, your own buckwheat pancakes.

I didn't mind that it's not a super sweet pancake, just because we always use syrup.  I also love putting blueberries or chocolate chips in.  If you're feeling adventurous, Jared's dad always used Kool-Aid in their pancakes when he was growing up.  That sounds gross to me, but I bet kids would love it!  Have fun making pancakes!
