PANCAKES FOR NOW AND LATER!

Tonight I  made pancakes, enough for tonight and alot to wrap individually and freeze for later.  Once I haul out the large grill I want to cook enough that I don't have to haul it out again right away.  I usually make them from scratch but I had went to a super double coupon event a month ago and got the large boxes of Bisquick for 2 dollars a box so I used that mixed with water.  Once I used up all the batter I had mixed up I decided to take a box of blueberry muffin mix (the kind with the small can of wild blueberries in it) and mix it with everything the box says to add and then I added an equal amount of bisquick to it and water enough to have a medium thick batter.


 I cooked them all up and they were delicious.  I ended up with a huge bowl of pancakes and after dinner there were alot left to freeze for breakfasts for the next couple weeks.




Talk about a frugal meal!  You can add eggs and milk instead of water but we happen to be out of milk for the moment and I fried eggs with these so I only put eggs in the blueberry ones because it called for it.  You could do this with apple cinnamon, banana nut, raspberry, and wildberry muffin mixes also.  If I ever make just pancakes for dinner I always use milk and eggs in them so everyone is getting their protein in the meal also.   This is where all the cereal bags (wax paper bags out of the cereal boxes) I saved will come in handy. I can put 3 or more pancakes in each one and then stack them and put in a larger ziploc bag to place in the freezer so you can take out a few at a time.  I love when I find a use for the bags I saved.  Its almost like there's a calculator in my head adding up the savings.  Love it!!
