JANET GROENE’S GALLEY RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Your Own Pancake Mix
Wake up every morning to sea air, a streaky dawn and hot, fluffy flapjacks made your way. Use white flour, whole wheat, a mixture of flours, non-gluten flours, sugar substitute if you wish and add salt only if you care to.
Master Mix
6 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups powdered milk
To make pancakes:
1 ½ cups of the master mix
1 cup water
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Whisk everything together and fry on a hot, lightly greased griddle or frypan. Each batch serves 3 to 4.
