It depends which recipe you are making. However, it is safe to say you can combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately and combine them right before cooking.

Recommended equipment and resources
Here are some kitchen tools and essentials for making perfect Christmas pancakes at home as well as resources and articles you may find helpful.
Equipment:
