Keep Homemade Pancake Mix on Hand

I mix together all the dry ingredients for pancakes and store in mason jars in my pantry. When our kids want homemade pancakes, I simply combine one jar of the dry ingredients with the necessary milk and oil. This gives me the ease of a mix with the taste of homemade. —Christi Q., Springtown, Texas
