I have to be honest…One of my favorite parts of camping is the campfire food. This Make Ahead Pancake Recipe for Camping does not disappoint. It is the best! The pancakes are light, fluffy and delicious. They remind me of pancake from one of our favorite restaurants. Come on in and I’ll share this simple Premake Pancake Batter For Camping with you…

While you have all of your ingredients out, make several batches. Seal the batches in zip tight bags and use a sharpie to mark what you’ll need to add to the dry mix. 

When you’re out camping, you just have to whisk the wet ingredients together and add them to your bag. Voila’ instant camping pancakes. 

I’m telling you…there is just something about being outside, around a fire with campfire food that adds a level of deliciousness. 

Tips and tricks for your Make Ahead Pancake Recipe for Camping…

How do you make the pancakes fluffy?

Now, if you want really fluffy pancakes – mix your wet ingredients separately and give them a good whisking. The air pockets in the egg help make the pancakes fluffy. Also, be careful not to over mix when combining with the dry ingredients. You want to mix until wet and that’s it. 

Want to keep it as simple as possible? I love that!

If you don’t care about fluffy and are just going for easy and delicious, then just mix it all up right in the zip tight bag! The pancakes will be a little on the flat side, but just as tasty.

Want thicker batter for more control in the griddle?…

You’ll want to play around with the amount of water you add. The full 1 cup makes a pretty thin batter. For a thick batter, add less water.
