Easy (Prepare Ahead) Camp Pancakes
It can be a pain to pack the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, etc. so that you can have pancakes one morning at the campsite. But it can be costly to buy a serving of the premade mix at the store that you just need to add water to. DON'T DO EITHER! Make the mix at home before you go. It takes a few minutes. The batter will be all ready in your camper fridge when you want it. And you can have pancakes for several days at camp - just cook how many your family will eat that day. Save the rest of the ready made batter for the next day. Easy!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups white or whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 tbsp. sugar (or honey)
- 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 tsps. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid mixer to make it super easy), beat your eggs with a wire whisk until fluffy.
- Beat in the remaining ingredients just until mixed. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure all the flour gets incorporated.
- Pour the batter into a container with a tight lid so it doesn't leak. I tend to use mason jars, however it can be hard to stir down to the bottom when you get ready to cook them so you may have to pour it into a bigger bowl so you can have room to stir.
- Store in your camper fridge (or cooler) until you are ready to cook them.
- Depending on how you cook your food while camping, prepare your preferred surface heating it to medium heat and spraying with cooking spray.
- Add batter to the warmed griddle with about 1/4 cup of the batter each, spread out so you don't end up with just one large pancake. When the top starts to bubble and puff out, flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve warm with pure maple syrup, some fruit, and maybe some cool whip. Enjoy!
