Pour 1 cup of the flour mixture into the jar. Pack down the layer with a laddle.

Gingerbread Pancakes (6 servings; approximately 18 pancakes)
1 and 3/4 cups water
6 Tablespoons butter - softened
2 large eggs
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the butter and 1/8th of water. Alternately beat in the pancake mix and the rest of the water.
Heat a large frying pan or skillet to medium-high heat. Grease the surface with a thin coating of cooking spray. Dollop the batter in 1/4 cup amounts per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on surface and the edges are dry (about 2 or 3 minutes). Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
