Ingredients
- 1 cup Birch Benders pancake mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon oil (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: Birch Benders pancake mix, water, egg, and optional oil. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Select a non-stick griddle or large skillet and preheat over medium heat (around 375°F). A properly heated surface ensures even cooking and golden brown pancakes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Birch Benders pancake mix, water, and egg. If desired, add the tablespoon of oil for extra richness and moisture.
- Whisk the ingredients together until just combined. Some small lumps are okay - overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- Lightly grease the preheated cooking surface with butter or cooking spray if needed.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving space between them for easy flipping.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, typically 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter.
Tips
- Ingredient Readiness: Make sure all your ingredients, especially the egg and water, are at room temperature. This helps the batter mix more smoothly and results in fluffier pancakes.
- Preheat Properly: Preheat your non-stick griddle or skillet to around 375°F. A well-heated surface is crucial for achieving that golden-brown exterior and evenly cooked pancakes.
- Mix with Care: When combining the pancake mix, water, and egg, whisk until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking. This gives the flour time to hydrate and can enhance the texture of your pancakes.
- Greasing the Surface: Lightly grease your cooking surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and to add a delicious buttery flavor.
- Perfect Portioning: Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter for each pancake. This ensures uniform size and makes flipping easier.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on your pancakes as they cook. When bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, it’s time to flip!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your pancakes immediately with a variety of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a pat of butter for an indulgent treat.
