To prepare, combine the dry pancake mix with the recommended amount of liquid, such as water or milk, and any additional wet ingredients like eggs or oil as directed on the packaging. Whisk the mixture until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
