Notes

This pancake mix will keep for six to eight months if stored properly in the pantry. You can make this pancake mix in bulk to save time later, or even prepare it in nice jars to give out as gifts. You want to store your pancake mix in a cool, dry place. That probably means your pantry. The mix might actually keep for longer in the fridge!

When storing pancakes, use airtight jars. You want a jar that’s at least a liter (or a quarter gallon) in capacity. This gives you lots of room to shake the pancake mix when you add your oil and water.

We recommend using Dutched cocoa powder for this recipe. It has a dark color, smooth flavor, and delicious sweetness. This is thanks to the washing process of the powder, which negates its natural acidity. Dutched cocoa powder is great for baking for this very reason! You can use regular cocoa powder if you want.
