Augason Farms Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 33 Servings

Augason Farms specializes in emergency meal kits with an extra-long storage life in mind. That is how I learned of this item. I was taste and prep testing numerous emergency meals from different companies, and found Augason Farms was nearly always at the top in all aspects. One of the test items was a package of their pancake mix, and I was blown away. Initially unimpressed with receiving pancake mix as an emergency meal kit, I reluctantly gave it a try. I made pancakes and they were probably the best that I've ever made using a pre-made mix. I've tried everything from King Arthur, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima (will always be Aunt Jemima to me, even if they now go by Pearl...something), Pioneer, Krusteaz...you get the point. None hold a candle to the quality of what I sampled that day from, of all things, an emergency meal kit! I had to go on a quest and find if it could be purchased as a stand-alone item, and I was in luck...this item you are looking at!While pancakes are easy to make, even from scratch. There is just something special about the results you'll receive using this mix. Every time, it's absolute perfection. I'd like to cough that up to my cooking skills, but anyone that knows me would quickly call out that lie. Though, I guarantee that these were just dang good! Of course, they also mention waffles in their item name, and I had to pull out the waffle iron to try that.I had long ago tried making homemade waffles and was left unimpressed by everything I tried. Different mixes, different irons...you name it, I tried it; and subsequently settled on Eggos. I got rid of every iron but the Ninja brand one I felt was the easiest to use, and I threw that one into the back of the cabinet and thought it may never again see the light of day. However, having great results with pancakes, I had to spend 30 minutes digging that iron out of the back of the cabinet, and WooHoo!!!, was I glad that I did. Those first waffles came out as absolute perfection. I don't measure, so I simply put a cup of mix into a measuring cup, added water to the consistency that I prefer (a bit on the thin side), and added vegetable oil. After a quick stir, I simply poured into the pre-heated vertical Ninja waffle iron and let it do its thing. Using a doneness setting of 3, and letting the waffle cook for an extra 30-45 seconds, the first waffle came out perfectly done. Golden and crispy on the outside, and fluffy and tender on the inside--it's how I had always previously tried to achieve. And the taste matched the look. The waffles this mix produced were perfect.If you're wondering, the Ninja waffle iron now sits at the front of the cabinet with this mix always ready in the pantry to make a quick waffle. Seriously, this is the good stuff.

Cheap affordable long lasting large quantity and tasty checks all the boxes i was looking for in a easy to store prepping food for my pantry super glad I have this company a chance and you should as well!!

I know I can make my own pancake mix, or buy pancake mix in the local grocery, however, this makes such good pancakes I use it regularly now.Just add water, no milk or egg needed, it couldn’t be any easier or convenient to make thick or thin pancakes.

Very tasty

Long Term Storage PancakesFlavor/Texture: The flavor is pretty good. If you mix it like normal pancake mix (in other words don't over-mix), they turn out just fine. Fairly tender, easy to eat and flavorful. I will say that the mix is a good bit sweeter than I'm used to. However, I typically use Kodiak pancake mix which is whole-grain with not much sugar. So... you may find the sweetness of this mix just right.Thickness: The thickness and rise of the pancakes are good. I made it according to the can's instructions with the exceptions that I used milk in place of water and substituted about 1/2 the milk or so w/ plain yogurt (not Greek yogurt). The pancakes came out almost too thick but cooked through easily and were not tough.Long Term Storage: The can says they are good for approximately 10 years if stored at 70 degrees or below. The cans arrived with either a September 2020 or October 2020 packing date. So they were very fresh. Some long term storage foods last 25 years plus. Prepared flour or mixes do not. Wheat certainly will but this is pretty easy to use. The mix is good enough to rotate into your diet and keep your storage items fresh. I personally would not want to eat a lot of this in my normal diet but that's simply because it's bleached flour, etc. But maybe a couple times a month or so in order to keep the product rotated? Yes, I would do that and some folks will probably find that they have to restrain themselves from eating it too often.Pricing: The product was on sale for about $7.50/can. To me this is a pretty good price for any product that's going to stay good for 10 years and is actually edible.
