Recipe: Rourke’s Survival Pancakes

 

What foods to store in a food storage program is a popular topic – but what about making meals from that food? Not so much.

You can’t get much simpler than preparing Rourke’s Survival Pancakes. The foundation for these pancakes is any “Just Add Water” pancake mix. My favorites include Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack’s versions.

Ingredients

2 cups pancake mix(follow instructions on box)
1 1/2 cup water
A pinch or twelve cinnamon sugar
1 “dash” of Pure Vanilla Extract
Aunt Jemima syrup

Instructions

  • Following instructions on box combine pancake mix and water
  • Add the desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Start with a teaspoon. Want more cinnamon flavor? Add more next time. Want less? Add less next time.
  • Add a few drops of vanilla extract. A little goes a long ways.
  • Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • On a non-stick skillet heated to medium pour a 3″ circle of batter
  • Flip when pancakes bubble and bottoms are golden brown.

Recipe Tip: Everyone has their own individual tastes so the recipe can be adjusted as needed. Have some canned fruit? Throw some small pieces in. Don’t care for cinnamon? Leave it out.

Lastly – pancakes are an excellent food storage item. While the mix itself does not keep extremely well rotation is easy – and enjoyable.

Enjoy!!

      Check the exp date on the available products in the store. The Aunt Jemima I recently bought expires in 12 months. If sealed with an oxygen absorber 2 years should be possible. There are mixes out there that are NOT “just add water” that will store upwards of 10 years.

        John, we’re still using the Krusteaz pancake mix I bought at Sam’s Club a good 3 years ago. I took it out of the bag and put it in a screw-top plastic storage container from Wal-Mart as soon as we got it home. The taste is a little off for plain pancakes, but we make them Roarke’s way. No one has ever gotten sick from them, in spite of some sensitive stomachs in the house.

          Also, when syrup’s in short supply, we make small pancakes, spread them with jelly or sprinkle them with powdered sugar, then fold them in half and eat them with our fingers. There’s just something silly and fun about being able to eat pancakes without a fork.

    On occasion we like to eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Even if we don’t order pancakes we always ask for pancake syrup. It comes in small sealed bottles that we keep and add to our food stashes. My pancakes must have syrup. Other restaurants may have these bottles of syrup also for the asking.
