Ingredients
1 cup Krusteaz pancake mix
2/3 cup water or milk (or a 50/50 mix for balanced flavor)
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil (optional, for added richness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance taste)
Instructions
In a large bowl combine the pancake mix and a pinch of salt if using
Add water or milk and stir gently until just combined leaving some lumps for a fluffy texture
If using melted butter or vanilla extract add them to the batter and stir lightly
Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set about 2 to 3 minutes
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup fresh fruits or whipped cream
Notes
Using milk creates richer creamier pancakes with a golden brown finish
Water results in lighter pancakes perfect for adding bold toppings
Letting the batter rest improves texture and fluffiness
For a balanced flavor try mixing equal parts water and milk
