Ingredients
- 2 cups Cindy's Old Fashioned Pancake Mix
- 1 + 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup freeze dried butternut squash OR leftover cooked butternut squash OR cooked pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon added to dry ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons oil for frying
Directions
- Mix all these ingredients together, being ESPECIALLY attentive to being sure the baking powder is completely incorporated in.
- Pour the mixture into a very large plastic, glass or metal container with a sealed lid.
- Label your container, being sure to add the date you packed it. This will prevent you from losing track of how old it is. Expect your pancake mix to stay nice and fresh for up to a year as long as it is sealed and protected from heat, excessive light.
- To prepare individual batches:
- Put 2 cups mix in a bowl, and add 1 + 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup of your favourite vegetable oil. Mix together just till evenly moistened. Cook in medium hot greased skillet till first side is dry, then flip over to cook the other side.
- Makes 10 - 4 inch pancakes.
- for BUTTERNUT SQUASH Pancakes:
- Add 1 cup Thrive Freeze Dried Butternut Squash to your dry mixture. I like to lightly crush the pieces, either in my hand or in a mortar and pestle.
- optional: add a teaspoon cinnamon. Stir into dry mixture before adding the water and oil.
- Go ahead and add a little more water if desired to account for the addition dry ingredients. Cook as you would regular pancakes.

- Be creative about adding fun new things. Add freeze dried raspberries or blueberries. Let sit a few more minutes to moisten the berries before cooking.
