I love this idea! I'm trying to buy fewer and fewer prepackaged things so this is exactly what I need. Much to the dismay of my son who is supposed to be collecting Boxtops for Education mind you. He is having a hard time understanding why I won't buy into the marketing scheme they've got going there!

the one in the jug is alot more expensive, heck we can create our own jug, but I add water to the bag and just mush it up and voila, pancakes..LOL

hope that helped a little for you.

I am a camper.....Love it!!!

that sounds like a great idea, if you use a freezer bag which is heavier you could just cut the tip off to dispense.

Homemade Shake & Bake

2 cups crushed crackers or cereal
2 cups flour
1 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP paprika
1 TBSP seasoning salt

Mix well & store in refrigerator in a covered container. Use as you would regular store bought shake & bake.


I just made a new batch yesterday & used it on pork chops, it was really good, really no difference to the taste. I used crackers in mine. But have used corn flakes too & they are good also.

I have a lot of these recipes & as I find them I will share them.
