With this shelf-stable homemade pancake mix ready to go in your pantry, you’re always minutes away from an exceptional pancake breakfast (or breakfast for dinner, live your life). The key is a combo of two powdered dairy products: buttermilk, for that perfect tang, and butter, which you’ll brown in a saucepan with half the powdered buttermilk for a touch of nuttiness. Just add eggs and—surprise!—seltzer water, which provides extra lift and fluffiness. The recipe below yields enough base for two batches of 18 pancakes each; keep the extra powdered base in an airtight container as a gift to future you.
