June 2026 Mix-Along “Operation: Batter Base”

Welcome to the ELR June Mix‑Along! This month we’re diving into the cozy, fluffy, golden‑brown world of Pancakes (or Waffles) — two breakfast icons that make fantastic foundations for DIY mixing.

Whether you want to craft a reusable Pancake (or Waffle) Stone or go all‑in with a finished recipe, this assignment gives you the freedom to build your perfect batter, your ideal syrupy stack, or your wildest breakfast‑dessert crossover.
Your Mission: Build your foundation or build your feast.

Create either:

  • A Pancake or Waffle Base / Stone
  • A foundational mix that captures the batter, texture, and warmth — ready to drop into future recipes.

OR

  • A Full Pancake or Waffle Recipe
  • Any toppings, any syrups, any twists — as long as the pancake or waffle is the star.

Guidelines:

  • Choose Pancake or Waffle — or do both if you’re feeling adventurous.

  • Stones should focus on the base batter (no toppings), and be posted as a single recipe and not a One Shot.

  • Finished recipes can include fruits, syrups, nuts, creams, spices, bakeries, or anything that completes your vision.

Please include your %s, steep expectations, and any notes on texture, sweetness, butteriness, or crispness etc.

Need Inspiration?

Think about:

  • Texture: fluffy, dense, cakey, crispy‑edged, buttery

  • Sweetness: neutral batter vs sweetened batter

  • Accents: vanilla, buttermilk tang, browned butter, maple warmth

  • Toppings: berries, whipped cream, chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar, nuts, syrups

  • Wildcards: funnel cake vibes, churro waffles, blueberry‑stuffed pancakes, maple‑pecan stacks, lemon‑ricotta pancakes, cereal‑milk waffles… anything goes!

Here’s a unique waffle recipe. It tastes great after 12 hours but it should steep 7-10 days. I have a nice pancake recipe coming up too.

Heres a couple variations on a few that i am working on this month.



These arent entries, the recipes need some proper testing & will probably need some altering yet? I have about another 6 or so variations too trying out different flavour combos, time restrictions means i have to make a lot more bottles trying to kinda guess what tweaks i might want to try. I will make my favourite one public for my entry closer to the end of the month or once im sure im happy with the recipe.

I’ve been looking at the same plan of attack, but with different brands that I have. One thing in common though is the Nomz Waffle at low % in mine, too. Your pic’s worth a thousand words…or calories!:yum:
