If you want to make dry pancake mix ahead of time, it is very simple.  You might want to make a few batches ahead of time so that all you have to do is add the wet ingredients later, or you might want to give it away as a gift.

Whatever you decide you need it for, it’s a great and easy idea.  All you have to do is combine the same dry ingredients ahead of time that you would use for regular basic pancakes.  Here is the dry ingredients recipe and following instructions you can attach to the jar if you decide to give it as a gift or to simply remind yourself if you forget later on.
