Cinnamon version, each batch
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup chopped dried apples or cranberries optional
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- mason jars
- skillet
Directions
Buttermilk version
- Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly and keep in a large container.
- For one batch, whisk together the egg, oil, water and 1 1/2 c. mix. Small lumps are fine.
- Pour 1/4-cup portions onto a hot, greased griddle and flip when bubbles on top start to pop; cook until both sides are golden. For waffles, cook in a hot waffle iron as its directions say.
Cinnamon version
- Mix the five dry ingredients and move them to a 1-quart jar with a tight-fitting lid. Close and keep in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
- For one batch, measure 1-1/2 cups of the mix into a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk and oil, and add the dried fruit if using.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mix and stir just until it is moistened.
- Grease a hot griddle and pour on the batter in 1/4-cup portions. Flip when the bubbles on top start to pop; cook until the second side is golden brown.
Notes
Buttermilk version: the mix keeps on the shelf for many months, or up to one year in the freezer. No buttermilk powder: replace half of the 1 c. water with liquid buttermilk. Whole wheat: use half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour, or all whole wheat. Safety: buttermilk powder is a dairy powder and can go stale or rancid over long shelf storage; keep airtight and cool, or freeze.
