Crispy Cinnamon Doughnut Pancake Mix

A recipe so good you'll want to make it every single weekend. Fluffy, golden pancakes get tossed in an included cinnamon sugar packet for a crispy, doughnut-like coating that is absolutely epic. Add chocolate chips or cocoa powder to the batter for an extra indulgent twist. Bonus: the mix doubles as a killer batter for Baja Fish Tacos — see the recipe below!
