Make-Ahead Buttermilk Mix - Pancakes

Last week (before we were sick) I told you I made the Make-Ahead Buttermilk Mix from the Organic Valley Recipes with the product Organic valley sent. We made the waffels as a weekend breakfast with it (read about it here), and we also tried the pancakes as a dinner (not on the same day)! Since pancakes for dinner are really a treat in our house I made them extra special with chocolate chips! We all loved them, and if chocolate chips are not your thing another way I like to make pancakes extra special is to use a large cookie cutter to make fun shapes for the kids!

Here is the Mix and Pancake recipe from the Organic Valley website you can check out the full recipe with the instructions for waffles and biscuits there too!

Ingredients:

Buttermilk Mix:
1 cup Organic Valley Buttermilk Blend (dry buttermilk)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
5 cups unbleached white flour
1/4 cup baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt

For Pancakes:
2 cups Buttermilk Mix
1 1/2 cups Organic Valley Milk or water
2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:
1. To make Buttermilk Mix: Place all ingredients in a large bowl; whisk well to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Store airtight

2. To make pancakes: Heat a cast-iron stove top griddle over medium-low flame. Place Buttermilk Mix in a bowl. Stir in milk or water and oil until barely combined. Film the hot griddle with cooking oil. Pour 1/3 cup or so of batter onto griddle for each pancake. (You can sprinkle on berries, nuts, etc. on at this point if you’d like). When bubbles appear over most of the batter surface and the undersides are golden brown, flip the pancakes to cook the other side. Serve with maple syrup and toppings of your choice.
