How people cook with it

To prepare, you typically combine the mix with milk, eggs, and oil or melted butter. The exact proportions are usually found on the packaging. Whisk the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can result in tough pancakes. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or waffle iron to the appropriate temperature. Pour the batter onto the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip or close the lid until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
