**You'll need 6 pint sized Mason jars.

Make sure your jars, lids and rings are clean and completely dry.

To each jar, add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 Tbls + 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbls firmly packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp salt in layers. For a pretty look, you can even out each layer as you go. Put on the lid and secure with the metal ring.

If giving as a gift, type or hand write this onto card stock paper and attach to the jar:

Pancake Mix

Add 2 Tbls melted butter, 1 1/4 cups milk, and 1 beaten egg. Shake well. Rest batter 5 mins.

Makes approx. 12 1/4-cup pancakes.

Pancake Complete Directions:

In a medium bowl, add one jar of pancake mix, 2 Tbls butter, 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 beaten egg and 1 tsp vanilla. Whisk til smooth. Allow batter to rest 5 minutes.

Spray a griddle or frying pan with non-stick spray and place onto medium high heat. (My griddle has to be on 375°F for pancakes.) When hot, pour batter onto griddle by 1/4-cupfuls, leaving enough room to flip them.

When pancakes have lots of bubbles and the edges are slightly dry, flip them over. Cook for another couple minutes. They’re done when both sides are golden brown and they spring back when lightly touched in the middle with the spatula.

Serve with additional butter and syrup if desired.

**NOTES: For gift giving, you can use a quart size jar to leave room for the wet ingredients to be added later and shaken.

**If this mix will be sitting in the jar a while, I recommend you go ahead and mix the dry ingredients together to keep the brown sugar from clumping.

**If you want pancakes without oatmeal, simply use another 1/2 cup flour in each jar and leave out the oatmeal.
