Does anyone have a good pancake mix recipe that doesn't require an egg or
milk to make it. I plan to use the mix when camping and I can't gurantee
these two items. Powedered that I can buy beforehand is OK. Best of all is a
premix I can make myself and just add water to.

A lot of your store bought mixes you can substitute water for...some
even call for it.

Just buy any off-the-shelf commercial "instant" pancake mix. Brands
like Betty Crocker have been strictly "just add water" for decades.
Back around mid-century, companies developed instant pancake and cake
mixes. But, women weren't ready for it yet. There were some guilt
pangs about "just add water", like they weren't giving the family the
real deal. So, companies remixed their products so cooks could add an
egg and some milk. But, slowly but surely, the "instant" product
gained acceptance and now I think Aunt Jemima is about the only "add
milk/egg/oil" old-school mix (not counting the boutique brands) still
on the shelves (but, AJ does sell an instant, too).

I make mine from scratch or use AJ's old-style mix. A pancake without
eggs and buttermilk is not worth eating, IMNHO.

Just purchase any pancake mix listed as "complete". That is the buzz word
for just add water.

Dimitri

Here are the Hungry Jack brands:

Available in five flavors:

. Buttermilk (Just Add Water)
. Extra Light & Fluffy (Just Add Water)
. Buttermilk (Add Milk, Oil, & Eggs)
. Original (Add Milk, Oil, & Eggs)
. Extra Light & Fluffy (Add Milk, Oil, & Eggs)

To please large groups, try the 48 oz.-size Buttermilk (Add Milk, Oil, &
Eggs).

"Add milk/egg/oil pancake mix" ?
You mean that Aunt Jemima sells plain flour?

There is a french Canadian dish (now spare me if I spell it wrong) Ploop.
Named after the noise the wisk makes beating the Ploops ingredients
together, I believe. What this is is basically Buckwheat flour and milk and
it fries up halfway between a crepe and a pancake. I imagine dried milk
mixed with the buckwheat flour would allow you to just add water and cook
later.

These are served mostly in Arcadian festivals. Eaten with sugar,honey,plain
or jam. They're in the guiness book of records too. But you'll have to find
your own recipe. As I don't have one.

WalMart sells an excellent pancake mix.
( add water, mix, pour )
It's marketed under their "GreatValue" label.

If you want to tailor it, you can always add
a bit of cinnamon, or vanilla, or ???

Of course not! It also includes, salt, baking powder, baking soda,
and a complex, highly secret, list of unpronounceable chemicals
designed to give it that natural down home taste ...while lying
dormant on you shelf for the next decade or so. ;)

I found this one in the cookbook, Cooking on the Go, a cookbook for those who
have boats, need to fill the boats galley and not use too much room:

Basic Pancake Mix

10 cups flour (white, buckwheat, whole wheat, barley flour or other grains)
3 1/3 cups nonfat dry milk
4 TBS. baking powder
2 TBS. salt

Mix well and package in plastic bags. To complete pancakes, use about half-cup
of mix per person. Add water, with and egg (OPTIONAL) and stir until you get
the desired consistency. Chunks of apple, banana, raisins, bacon bits etc. may
be added to the mix. Cook on a hot griddle in a little oil. Jan

Cheers, just the ticket. I should have said earlier that I would use Aunt
Jemimas but I just can't find it here in switzerland. If anyone knows a
supplier I'd be grateful. If not, it''l be fun to try out and adapt this
reipe.

Thanks again

Bruce Foods out of Louisiana has a great sweet potato pancake mix that

in Kroger stores. Very good mix.

If you mean no dairy milk, here is a recipe that uses soy milk:

If you mean no milk of any kind, here is another recipe (the egg is
optional, so you don't have to use that):

I did just that this morning. It was wonderful pancakes. I can mix up a
batch in about thirty seconds. A little more if I use ice water.

If you mean from scratch (homemade), no, you need milk. Preferably,
buttermilk.

TIP: 1 Tsp of lemon juice or white vinegar in 1 Cup of milk will turn
that cuppa milk into buttermilk (or a facsimile, thereof....).

If you mean an off-the-shelf pancake mix, no problem. Most have used
water as the primary ingredient, fer yrs. My first experience with
water driven pancake mix in the 70s was Krusteaz Instant Buckwheat
Pancakes. Damn shortstack (2) would soak up an entire bottle of
syrup! ;)

Don't all of those mixes have powdered milk or something
in them? Mr. Christiansen wasn't specific on whether
he wanted dairy-free pancakes or if he just doesn't use
milk and was looking for something that doesn't use
ingredients that he lacks.

Here's a dairy-free, egg-free vegan pancake recipe:

<http://allrecipes.com/recipe/191885/vegan-pancakes/>

Frankly, I would cook something else. The taste and
texture would be nowhere near what I expect from a
pancake.

There were better-looking recipes that used soy milk
and whatnot, but you can't beat this one for simplicity.

Definintely add some stuff. LOL

The OP was perfectly clear (trolling) - only water? No egg, no milk.
Water. Period. Water added to what? Some sort of boxed mix, no doubt.
Sure, just add water. And pray for a good outcome. ;)

I can't remember if I have ever even made pancakes, or for that matter
wanted to, the original poster, markellse...@gmail.com (perhaps
his name is "Christiansen" as well) wanted to. I merely pointed out
some recipes for milk free, egg free pancakes. I cannot vouch for how
good or bad they are.

That's fine. Sometimes with all the indenting and stuff that
thunderbird or outlook express (or whatever Windows uses now for
newsgroups), it is difficult to tell who said what, or who exactly you

If he wants pancakes, make them right, dammit
If you want to skip milk and eggs, get real...
