Recipe for "pancake-mix"

NAME

     PANCAKE-MIX - 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.

INGREDIENTS (2 kg of mix)

     200 g     buttermilk powder
     800 g     all-purpose flour
     100 g     granulated sugar
     40 ml     baking powder
     20 ml     baking soda
     10 ml     salt

PROCEDURE (Pancake mix)

          (1)  Sift the ingredients together well.   Store  in  a
               container with a tight-fitting lid.

INGREDIENTS (10 pancakes)

     1         egg, beaten
     30 ml     vegetable oil
     250 ml    water, or more as needed.
     700 g     buttermilk pancake mix (see above)

PROCEDURE (Pancakes)

          (1)  Mix ingredients until blended together.
          (2)  Let it stand five minutes.
          (3)  Cook some pancakes.
          (4)  Eat and enjoy.

NOTES

     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.
     If you can't find buttermilk powder in  your  local  grocery
     store, try a bulk food store.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes to make the  mix  if  you
     have the ingredients.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
