HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK PANCAKE MIX
Easily make homemade pancakes whenever the mood strikes! One batch of pancakes make 10 4-inch pancakes.
INGREDIENTS:
PANCAKE MIX:
- 6 cups (720 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup (300 grams) powdered buttermilk
- 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoons salt
TO MAKE A BATCH OF PANCAKES:
- 1 1/3 cup ( grams) pancake mix, above
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
TO MAKE THE PANCAKE MIX:
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the pancake mix ingredients. Store in an airtight container for up to several months.
TO MAKE PANCAKES:
- Combine 1 1/3 cup of the pancake mix with the water, egg, butter or oil, and vanilla (if using).
- Drop by 1/4 cup-full into a greased hot skillet set over medium heat. Cook until edges appear dry and bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minute. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Serve immediately as desired, or keep warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
baking tip:PANCAKE MAKING TIPS
- Starting with room temperature liquid and eggs will prevent the melted butter from solidifying into tiny droplets when you add it to the wet ingredients, OR you can stir in the melted butter at the very end after you’ve combined the wet and dry ingredients.
- Whisk the wet and dry ingredients only until just combined, do not over mix the batter. It’s okay if it’s a little lumpy. This will produce a more tender pancake.
- I prefer to use a cast iron skillet or griddle for pancakes, as it creates a great golden exterior.
- To keep pancakes warm and crisp until you’re ready to serve, place them in a single layer on a sheet pan in a 200 degree oven.
- Pancakes freeze really well! Place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper in between each pancake inside a ziplock bag or plastic container. Store for up to 1 month. Reheat in the toaster.

| Egg Noodles w/Sausage & Kale* |
| INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 lb lamb or beef sausage ½ lb kale, tough stems and center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped (or spinach) ½ lb dried egg noodles 2/3 cup water ½ cup Parmesan cheese |
| DIRECTIONS Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook sausage, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, blanch kale (or spinach) in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove kale with a large slotted spoon, drain over pan, and add to cooked sausage in skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet. Return cooking water in pot to boil and cook egg noodles in boiling water, uncovered, until al dente. Add noodles to skillet with a slotted spoon and ½ cup reserved cooking water if necessary, tossing until combined. Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water in desired. Serves 6. Tips: Retain some of the noodle cooking water and add to any leftovers for easier warming up. As always, use eggs (for making noodles) from pastured hens and sausage from grass-finished animals for best nutrition and flavour. Grow your own or buy the greens from your neighbour. I make beef sausage a few days ahead and freeze; time allows the spices; salt, sage, black pepper, to meld with the ground beef. *adapted from recipe in the March 2006 Gourmet magazine. |

Maple Syrup in Missouri
Maple syrup is flowing in north Missouri this winter! We are certainly not known for maple syrup, but this year, the trees are producing and a few tree tappers are even offering the slim production for sale! Thank you Coyote Orchard!
Even our local University of Missouri Forage Systems Research Center offered a maple syrup workshop near Linneus, MO.
I mixed up this pancake mix this morning and my husband whipped up a batch for supper. I use organic, local, and non-GMO products and very excited to top off with extremely local (like 8 miles from our house local) maple syrup. Ultimate fast food!
Pour locally harvested maple syrup over the pancakes whipped up from your own Homemade Buttermilk Pancake Mix i found from Completely Delicious.
