Buttermilk Pancake Mix Presents

June 15, 2012 by Joy the Baker 96 Comments

IMG_8664

I’ll just come right out and say it:  I’m an excellent houseguest.

I usually come with an edible treat that usually involves butter and sugar.  Heck… I’ll even bring a pink box of doughnuts and champagne if the mood strikes me.

If I don’t have anything edible in tow, rest assured that I come bearing The Gift of the Dance… meaning that I’ll shake my groove thing all over the house (this may or may not involve a cartwheel or two).

My most recent houseguest happyplace is this homemade pancake mix.  Naturally, it has dark chocolate chips in it.  All that’s required is that there be an egg, butter, and buttermilk in the house.

If you let me sleep over… I’ll probably even make these for you.  If you feed me mimosas, I might even do the dishes.

Can I come over?

I found some old diner-style sugar shakers to hold the pancake mix.  I totally found these suckers at the dollar store.  So many bizarre treasures at the dollar store.  I decorated the jars simply with some brown packing paper and twine.

The handwritten recipe is included.

Inspire breakfast!

I love what’s happening here.

I love when gifts are edible… and cheap, but still awesome.

IMG_8683

I love when I have an excuse to use my Anthropologie (totally inaccurate and just for show) measuring cups.

IMG_8691

Everything in a jar.  Scoop it and spoon it.

Scoop it and Spoon it should totally be and R&B song.  You know I’m right.

IMG_8699

 When I’m feeling fancy, I bring a stick of butter, an egg, and a jar of buttermilk as a part of my houseguest gift… but those are really just perks.  If you show up with chocolate and the promise of breakfast, you’re winning for sure.

    This sounds so delightful that I don’t think I would be able to assemble the ingredients for a gift. Definitely going to have to try these myself…and then maybe consider making gift jars. =)

    have you thought of using buttermilk powder in the mix? then you would only need an egg, butter, and water (or milk) to make your mix. I prefer the powder because I never use the whole carton of buttermilk fast enough, but maybe that’s just me. :)

    Have you tried powdered buttermilk? Then you wouldn’t need to bring the buttermilk with you…

    There is nothing better than a great houseguest and nothing worse than a bad one.

    What’s your biggest house guest pet peeve?!

    I love those little jars! Good jars are hard to find and must be snapped up as soon as possible. Especially if they’re only a dollar.

    I seriously think we would be best friends if we lived in the same continent. Breakfast is the best meal of the day and if you brought these over – serious win!

    I love this idea..always looking for little thank you gifts for teachers and friends. You are welcome at my house anytime! It would be awesome for my daughter (and the rest of the family) to meet a girl who does what she loves and isn’t afraid to shake her groove. Thank you and I am off to make blueberry maple syrup.
