In a clean and dry 1-quart mason jar, layer the ingredients to create a visually appealing gift jar.
Start by adding the all-purpose flour to the jar. Use a utensil to press it down evenly.
Next, layer granulated sugar, followed by baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Spread each layer evenly before adding the next.
Add a layer of powdered milk and lightly press it down to make space for the dried blueberries.
Finally, top the jar with dried blueberries. Ensure the jar is filled to the brim but not too packed.
Seal the jar with the lid and optionally decorate with a ribbon or a handwritten label with the following instructions for use: 'To make pancakes, shake jar to combine all ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of mix. Mix together with 1 egg, 1 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Cook on a greased griddle over medium heat until bubbles form and flip to cook until golden brown. Repeat until all mix is used.'
Store the jar in a cool, dry place until ready to gift or use. For best results, use within three months.
