Q&A about Pancake mix


Q : How to store pancake mix?
A: you have to put it in a plastic bowl and either put tin foil or plastic clear sticky wrap around it .You may also store pancake mix in plastic storage containers, such as TupperWare, that seal when closed, or in a glass jar with a screw top.

Q : What does baking soda do to the pancake mix?

A: It makes it rise. Baking soda is a leavening agent that releases carbon dioxide bubbles into the batter, making pancakes light and fluffy.

 

Q : Do you have to have baking soda in homemade pancake mix?

A: depends on what kind of pancakes your making. If you don't have baking soda and you already started on the mix you should have gone to the store before and bought some. Although some reciepes don't have the ingrediants I would have to say it's not mandatory.
