Tips For Using Pancake Mix in Other Recipes
Pancake mix is a great staple to keep on hand in your pantry and while it’s so easy to work with, here are a few tips to make sure everything goes as planned.
- Sift The Mix – The dry ingredients in mixes can sometimes get lumpy, which can prevent the ingredients from distributing evenly. In some cases, sifting the mix before using can prevent any issues.
- Use Dairy – If your baking recipe calls for water, feel free to substitute milk (or plant-based milk) or sour cream in the recipe. It will add creaminess and richness.
- Don’t Overmix – Mix enough to incorporate all the ingredients without overdoing it. Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture.
