pancakes in a jar

I pulled out some old Family Fun magazines to look for Christmas ideas. Here's one from like 1998. Pancake mix in a jar. The kids helped me make up a big batch and we put them in 1 quart canning jars for gifts.

Here's our card we attached with the directions once you get it home.

They cook up really nice. I had to add a little more dry mix than the directions said, I'll have to remember to mention that when we give these away.

Here's what goes in the bog bowl. This made 2 1-quart jars. We added the wheat germ and flax seed meal and went a little less with the sugar.

5 cups flour

1 1/2 c whole grain flour

1 c corn meal

1/4 c wheat germ

1/4 c flax seed meal

1/3 c sugar

2 T +2 t baking powder

2 t salt

Add: 1 1/4 c milk and 2 eggs

On another note: We have the largest bowl of peanuts on the counter right now. Lou won a guessing contest at the library and won a large jar of peanuts. 617 in fact. He guessed 6, I wrote 600. Teamwork.
