The Scratch Pantry: Homemade Mix Recipes Cookbook
- 📖150+ mix recipes: baking, weeknight meals, seasonings, snacks & drinks
- 🪙Costs pennies a batch: made from bulk staples, not boxes
- 🌿Short ingredient lists: no fillers, no dyes, no mystery powders
- ⏱️Five-minute jars: mix once, cook from it for weeks
How many mixes are in the book?
Over 150, across four chapters: baking, weeknight meals, seasoning blends, and snacks & drinks.
Do I need special ingredients or tools?
No. Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, powdered milk and everyday spices cover nearly everything. A whisk, a bowl and a few jars are all the gear you need.
How long do the mixes keep?
Every recipe has its own shelf-life note. Most baking and seasoning mixes keep for months in a sealed jar in a cool, dry pantry.
Is it a printed book or a download?
It's a printed, spiral-bound book that lies flat on your counter.
Can I adapt recipes for dietary needs?
Yes. Nell notes easy swaps throughout for gluten-free flour blends, dairy-free milk powders and lower-sugar versions.
Will it really save me money?
Boxed mixes charge you for flour, sugar and packaging. Buying those staples in bulk and mixing them yourself usually costs far less per batch.
I'm not a confident cook. Is it too hard?
Not at all. Most mixes are measure, whisk and pour. Finishing them takes a few short steps.

One book. Every jar on your shelf.
Four chapters of Nell's ratios for turning plain bulk staples into the things you've been buying in boxes and packets.
Baking Mixes
Pancakes, biscuits, cornbread, muffins, brownies, cookies, cake and pizza dough, plus homemade brown sugar and powdered sugar.
Weeknight Meals
Jarred bases for mac and cheese, beef noodle helper, chili, cream-of-anything soup, rice pilaf and stuffing. Dinner starts half done.
Seasoning Blends
Taco, ranch, Italian, Cajun, seasoned salt, onion soup, chili, pumpkin spice and more. Every packet you keep re-buying.
Snacks & Drinks
Dip mixes, pudding, cheese crackers, trail mix, hot cocoa and chai, for after school and movie night.
Ratios & Shelf Life
Batch size, how to double it, what to add when you cook, and how long the jar keeps. Nothing left to guess.
Lay-Flat Spiral
Wire binding that stays open on the page you need, big easy-to-read type, and pages that wipe clean of flour.
