Ingredients
8 cups flour (if you’d like an all whole wheat mix, use whole wheat
pastry
flour from health food stores)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour (at some markets, but for sure at health
food
stores. Optional)
1/2 cup cornmeal (stone ground)
1 1/2 cups oatmeal (blend in your blender till powdered)
2 cups buttermilk powder (this is in the baking section of your market)
5 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 cup sugar (or sucanat-natural sugar at the health food store)
2 tablespoons salt
This will make four quarts. Mix all together in a very large bowl and
divvy up into gallon sized freezer storage bags. I would mark the date
with a Sharpie pen and keep it in the freezer although you can keep in
your pantry.
Instructions
To make pancakes or waffles:
1 cup pancake mix
1 egg
1/2 to 2/3 cup water (start with the lesser amount first and add if you
need to)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
In a medium bowl, stir mix with water, egg and vegetable oil. Heat your
griddle and make your pancakes as usual! To make waffles, double the
batter and follow the directions for your waffle iron.
Basic Muffin Mix
Makes 11 cups
8 cups flour (again, if you prefer whole wheat, use whole wheat pastry
flour)
3 cups sugar (can use sucanat if you prefer, see note on pancake mix)
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons nutmeg
Combine everything in a large bowl and divide into freezer zipper
topped
bags. Mark date with a Sharpie pen and store in the freezer or cool dry
place.
To make muffins:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together 3 cups baking mix, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil,
2
eggs, 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup berries, raisins, chocolate chips or
whatever else you’d like.
Bake in a prepared muffin pan-that means lightly greased (I prefer the
cupcake papers-easy clean up!), filling cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20
minutes
or until nicely browned. Cool for five minutes in the pan then turn out
on
to a rack to cool. Makes about 12 muffins, depending on the size of
your
muffin tin.
