Ingredients

1 cup non-bleached flour
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 ½ teaspoon of baking powder

Be Intentional

Having this pre-made Pancake Starter Mix makes it easy to throw together a home cooked meal on a busy morning (or night -- if you love breakfast for dinner as much as I do!). Coming together for meals as a family is important to us ... wether it be breakfast or dinner. Sometimes it is still challenging to do. I love the idea of intentionally prepping bags of the Pancake Starter Mix for future meals together.
