Homestead Pantry Pancake Mix & Morning Story

A Warm Welcome to the Morning Table

There is a special kind of magic in waking up to a slow morning here in the Orlando area, when the early light filters through the trees and the kitchen is quiet. On mornings like that, nothing feels quite as comforting as a warm, hearty stack of pancakes made from scratch. We love keeping a jar of our homemade, small-batch pancake mix right on the pantry shelf so that a wholesome, fluffy breakfast is never more than a few minutes away.

*Prefer to skip the mixing bowl? If you're local to Orlando and would rather pick up a pre-made bag of our homestead mix, you can easily grab one during our weekly preorder window!*

Homestead Pantry Pancake Mix Recipe

This dry mix formula—along with many more of our go-to kitchen basics—is featured right inside The Stocked Shelf pantry guide. It's designed to be tucked into a mason jar in your pantry, ready for those busy mornings when you want a wholesome breakfast without fuss. Just scoop, add your wet ingredients, and pour onto a hot griddle!

Dry Mix Ingredients (Makes One Large Jar)

4 cups all-purpose flour (or freshly milled soft white wheat / einkorn flour)
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons organic cane sugar

Instructions for the Pantry Jar

Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined and aerated.
Transfer the mix into a clean, airtight glass jar (a half-gallon mason jar works wonderfully) and store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.

To Mix and Cook (Batch Morning Instructions)

Dry Mix: 1 cup of Homemade Pancake Mix
Wet Ingredients: 1 large egg, 1/2 cup whole milk (or buttermilk), 2 tablespoons melted butter or tallow
Method: Gently whisk the wet ingredients together, then fold in 1 cup of the dry mix just until combined (a few lumps are completely fine—overmixing leads to dense pancakes!). Ladle onto a hot, buttered skillet or griddle, flip when bubbles form on top, and cook until golden brown.

From the Social Feed to Your Kitchen

We recently shared a peek behind the scenes on our social channels about how we batch and prep these mixes for our family rhythms. Seeing how many of you resonated with the idea of keeping a reliable, from-scratch staple on hand inspired us to give it a permanent home right here alongside our Beginner's Sourdough Bread Recipe and Pumpkin Spice Mix.

Whether you're mixing up your own jar at home using The Stocked Shelf guide or picking up a bag locally through our Thursday preorder rhythm here in Orlando, we hope this simple mix brings a little extra warmth and ease to your kitchen table!
