Everyone loves pancakes as it is a perfect meal to start your day with. However, making your own pancake batter from scratch might be a bit tricky, especially in the morning when you are still doozy and sleazy. Fret not, dry pancake mix is here to the rescue! Pancake mix can give you a breezy and easy pancake-making session. After all, who would want to hustle much in the morning for some pancakes, right? It is called a pancake mix due to the mixture of dry ingredients mixed together in the same consistency. So let’s go through those dry basic ingredients one-by-one, shall we?
- Flour (Of course, you need flour as it is the main base for most pastries and breads. Plus, it also supplies you with proteins, amino acids and carbohydrates. Some products even use enriched flour which can supply you with more nutrients!)
- Raising agents (This small amount of ingredients is added to the mix to make your pancakes all fluffy and rise well. Common raising agents used are baking powder or a mixture of baking soda and cream tartar).
- Salt (Just a small amount of salt can boost up the sweet and savoury flavours of the pancake as salt is a universal flavour enhancer. But too much of it will overpowers the other flavours).
- Dextrose (Instead of white sugar, dextrose is often added in pancake mix because it helps to promote the browning of the pancakes. Plus, it can cook much faster which is perfect to make a quick pancake).
Now let’s head up to the list of the best pancake mix available in Malaysia stores!
