The Best Pancake Mix

Seriously.  The best mix.  Previously to having this, I always used a store bought mix.  It was quick and a pancake.  So, it didn't really matter.  At least it didn't until I visited my sister over in Boise.  She made us pancakes and they were perfection in a hot cake on my plate.  Seriously, I made her give me the recipe ASAP and have used it since.  It doesn't make a HUGE bag like you can buy at the store but it makes enough for us to have mix on hand for a couple of months before I need to make more.  It is wonderful! I also included directions to actually make the pancakes below.  Enjoy!

The Best Pancake Mix
10 c. all purpose flour
2 1/2 c. instant non fat  dry milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. baking powder
2 tbsp. salt
Sift all ingredients in a large bowl. This is an important step if you don't want bitter chunks of baking powder or flour in your pancakes.  Stir together and blend well.  Put in a large airtight container.  Label and store in a cool, dry place.  Use within 6-8 months.

To make the pancakes:
1 1/2 c. pancake mix
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. water
3 tbsp.  vegetable oil
Put pancake mix in a medium bowl.  Combine egg, water, and oil in a small bowl.  Add egg mixture to pancake mix.  Add more water for thinner pancakes.  Blend well.  Let stand for 5 minutes. Cook on hot griddle.
