Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Pancakes — a welcome gift and a delicious breakfast. Or a great brinner — you know, breakfast for dinner. Light and fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of chocolate and a hint of spice to life them from the ordinary. So good!!
To make a Gift in a Jar, use a wide mouth pint jar. Cut the bottom from a disposable cup to make a funnel, if you don’t have one. (See this post Potato Soup – Gift in a Jar for how to make the funnel and other tips in making a gift in a jar. ) Add the ingredients in the order given, tamping them down as you go. The recipe as given will make 12 pancakes. If you’d like to make a larger batch of mix, use a wide mouth quart jar (shown above) and just double the amount of each ingredient. You will be able to make 24 pancakes from the large batch.
To make the recipe for immediate enjoyment, add all the mix ingredients to a medium sized bowl. Then follow the directions for making the pancakes in the recipe below.
Add embellishments to the full jar. The jar above has a square of cloth laid over the jar lid flat before adding the ring. You don’t have to be precise on the measurements so this is a great way to utilize those bits and pieces of fabric in your stash!
