The concept of dry mixes have been around for a long time and they have also become a very popular gift around the holidays. There are many recipes for cakes, cookies and many other thing “in a jar” but I have never made any of them. I’ve never made a mix for something to keep around the house so when I came across this pancake mix I wanted to try it.
I know there’s not much too it but I think it’s a neat concept and it’s a way to see what exactly goes into a dry mix like you would buy at the store. There really isn’t a whole lot to putting a mix like this together; which I didn’t think there was but I wasn’t sure since I had never made one. It also saves quite a bit of preparation time when it’s time to make the product.
I really enjoyed putting this mix together. Another plus to making your own mixes is that you can control the quality of the ingredients that go into the food. You can also add your own touch of flavor as well; that way it’s not the same old recipe all the time. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I do and it’s even better with the warm, homemade applesauce topping.
