To prepare, you will typically need to add wet ingredients such as eggs, milk, and melted butter or oil to the mix. Combine these thoroughly until just mixed, being careful not to overwork the batter. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, such as a cast-iron skillet or a standard baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The exact baking time and temperature will be specified on the package.
