More Mixes!! Cornbread, Macaroni and Cheese and Pancakes!

I understand when there are times you need to use a mix for breakfast foods or dinners, but sometimes it's fun to have great ways to make homemade mixes!  Enjoy!


Best-Ever Homemade Pancake Mix

MAKING THE PANCAKE MIX

(makes 4 recipes)

8 C. flour
6 T. + 2 t. baking powder
4 t. salt
1/2 C. dry egg powder
2/3 C. sugar
1 1/3 C. dry non-instant milk powder or 2 2/3 C. instant milk powder

Mix dry ingredients together WELL (and make sure your baking powder is still good!) and store in an air tight container.

Just Like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Mix

MACARONI AND CHEESE MIX

(makes enough for 6 mixes)

heaping 1/2 C. non-instant dry milk powder or heaping 1 C. instant dry milk powder
heaping 1/2 C. cornstarch
2 C. cheese powder
1/3 C. butter powder (if you don’t want to or don’t have this powder just omit it and add fresh butter later)

Mix ingredients WELL and store in an airtight container.

MAKING MACARONI AND CHEESE FROM THE MIX

2 C. noodles
heaping 1/2 C. Just like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Mix
3/4 C. water
1 T. fresh butter (if you didn’t use the butter powder)

Cook noodles until al dente and drain but DO NOT RINSE.  Put noodles back in pot, add water, mix and fresh butter (if you’re not using butter powder) Stir until thickened.

Your Very Own Cornbread Mix

The Homemade Cornbread Mix

(makes four 8×8 pans of Cornbread)

2/3 C. butter milk powder
4 C. yellow cornmeal
4 C. flour
2 2/3 C. sugar
1/2 C. dry egg powder
2 t. baking soda
2 t. salt

Mix dry ingredients together and store in an air tight container.

Substitution Tip

Don’t have buttermilk powder?  Don’t worry!  Simply use dry milk powder (2/3 C. dry non-instant milk powder or 1 1/3 C. dry instant milk powder) and add 1 T. vinegar or lemon juice to your recipe when you make it.  Yeah, it’s that awesome.

Making Cornbread from the Mix

3 C. cornbread mix
1/2 C. bean puree or melted butter
1 1/4 C. water

Combine ingredients together and stir just until mixed.  Bake at 375 (or 350 for a glass pan) about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

I don't know about you guys but cornbread is one of my favorites!  I think it makes a meal complete! Give these a try when you have the chance - one of them might just become your favorite!
