10 Mixes That Should Be In Your Pantry
do you have a pancake mix recipe? this sounds like a no brainer, but i would like to just be able to add milk and possibly an egg and have breakfast in 10 minutes.
Yes I do! You can find it here: https://www.littlehouseliving.com/homemade-pancake-and-waffle-mix.html
I found one that is great it is a copycat of bisquick, I make this a lot because my boys love pancakes.
6 c. flour
2 tbsp. powder sugar
3 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. oil
put all dry ingredients in kitchen aide, or bowl with stand mixer. Set on low and drizzle in the oil. Don’t need to mix long just until incorporated.
Add 2 cups mix, 2 eggs, 1 c. milk, mix and that’s it. I also use this recipe for waffles. This is a very versatile mix anything you find bisquik used in a recipe you can use making this mix.
The instant oatmeal recipe link and taco seasoning link appear to be, well, linked. I’m looking for the oatmeal recipe for my kiddos. I want to know where it comes from, so thank you for posting. 🙂
Sorry, it does that sometimes! Here’s the right link for Homemade Oatmeal Packets.
I’m looking for mixes to replace dry soup mixes that are often used in pot roast and meatloaf. My daughter has to eat gluten-free, but all mixes for gravy, onion soup, etc. contain gluten, of course, and GF mixes are hard to find and outrageously expensive. I just need a mix that I can modify with cornstarch or GF flour. Anything you can offer would be great, thanks.
I’m actually working on a recipe for Onion Soup Mix now so keep your eye out!
Amanda –
Its hard to find any corn products today that are non-GMO so maybe you should look for something with arrowroot as a thickener.
I know the issue was gluten but I like to help steer people away from things with GMO ingredients whenever I can.
Hey, do you have a recipe for spiced cider/Mullen spices? I make one that is all liquid, but I want one where I can have a dry mix and just add to apple juice or tea by the glass.
Thanks!
I don’t have a mix version but I do have this recipe for Mulled Apple Cider and you could just put together the dry ingredients.
Hi, My name is Jackie. My family and I have recently moved to West Texas. We have moved from a little two bed room home to a 24 foot long camper. That’s a big difference! lol We are hoping to start building a cabin in the next few months. We would like to be more self sufficient. It just takes a lot of money and hard work to do this but we enjoy every minute! Yet it has been very challenging but rewarding. I have enjoyed reading your blog and would like to know if you have any more homemade mixes. I wish you luck in your journey and hope to hear from you!
thanks, Jackie
This is all we have posted right now but I have more post ideas for mix recipes 🙂
Do you have a mix recipe for italian dressing? I use those packets a lot in cooking but would like a healthier choice for my hubby with high blood pressure. I love your web site.
Thank you,
Cheryl Shelton
Not yet, it’s something I’m working on 🙂

Do you have a recipe for a country gravy mix. Sometimes I’m in a hurry and I use the just add water mix. It’s okay, but would like to make my own.
I don’t yet, I will have to work on it!
RE: Country gravy mix
I found one 🙂
Rosie
COUNTRY GRAVY MIX
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients well and store in a tightly sealed container. TO MAKE GRAVY: Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil used to fry the chicken (or melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter) in the skillet. Over low heat, mix in 2 tablespoons of the Country Gravy Mix. Stirring constantly, cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup chicken broth, scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet. Stir in 1 cup milk and bring all to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with chicken, mashed potatoes or biscuits. Yield: About 1 cup of mix for 2 cups gravy.
I love making my own seasoning mixes. I have looking for a fajita seasoning mix. But the link isn’t working. 🙁
thanks Sherrie
I get SSI and food stamps.. i need to learn how to eat on 21 per week and be healthy… any ideas how to stretch it that far? i am also learning to go from all processed food to from scratch but leaning to vegan….
Do you have a recipe for Scallop Potatoes. We love them but have to but the box mix. I have looked for a mix I can keep on hand but haven’t found anything yet. Thanks, Chris
I would like to thank you for all the recipes that you have posted. It is such a life saver for me and makes life easier.
I ENJOY READING ALL OF YOUR RECIPES, ESPECIALLY THE MIXES. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THERE IS A SUGAR-FREE INSTANT PUDDING MIX RECIPE THAT IS AVAILABLE? ANY FLAVOR WOULD BE APPRECIATED, BUT WE REALLY LOVE THE PISTACHIO.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
