Instructions

  • Preheat a nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat while you mix the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1 ⅓ Cup milk until blended.
  • Add 3 packs muffin mix (6.5–7 oz packages) to the egg-and-milk mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
  • If using blueberries, gently fold in 1 Cup blueberries so they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
  • Add a small pat of the 4 Tbs butter or a little of the 4 Tbs vegetable oil to the preheated pan and allow it to melt/spread to lightly coat the surface.
  • Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the pan to form each pancake. Leave space between pancakes.
  • Cook each pancake until large bubbles form in the center and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and add more butter or oil to the pan as needed. Repeat steps 6–7 until all the batter is used.

Notes

It takes quite a while to heat up your pancake pan, and it's best to do so using very low heat so as not to overheat the pan.
When adjusting the heat to the pan, do so in small increments. A tiny adjustment in the heat can seriously change the cooking time for your pancake.
Turn pancakes when they start to have bubbles coming up through the surface and bubbles at the edges.
For the best results, you want a thicker pancake batter.
To avoid over greasing your surface, use a silicon brush to paint butter or oil over the cooking surface.
