Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package (6-7.5 oz) muffin mix of choice
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Prepare wet ingredients: Pour the milk into a mixing bowl and add the egg. Use a fork to break up the egg and combine it well with the milk.
- Add muffin mix and whisk: Add the muffin mix to the bowl and whisk until the batter becomes smooth and well combined without lumps.
- Set the batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly and allow the ingredients to meld.
- Heat the cooking surface: Preheat a non-stick griddle or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using an electric griddle, heat it to between 300°F and 350°F.
- Cook pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated surface. Cook for approximately 2 minutes until the edges look set and bubbles form on the top.
- Flip and finish cooking: Flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional minute or until the bottoms are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve warm: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Resting the batter allows the muffin mix to hydrate fully, ensuring fluffy pancakes.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
- Use non-stick cookware or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
- These pancakes can be customized with any muffin mix flavor such as blueberry, banana nut, or chocolate chip.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
