Make the sheet pan pancake mix in advance!

You can use this recipe to make a dry sheet pan pancake mix – I like to have a few batches of these bagged up in Ziploc baggies to make the prep time a total breeze.

I just take a Sharpie and write on the bag (before filling it with the mix):

Add: 2 ½ cups of milk, 2 large eggs, 8 tbsp of melted butter
