Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups Pancake Mix
  • 1 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Shortening melted
  • 1 Egg well-beaten

Instructions

  • Sift flour, measure, and sift with sugar.
  • Stir the egg, milk, and shortening until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • Grease griddle or pan before adding batter each time.
  • Bake on a hot griddle or in a large pan.

Notes

  • For the shortening, I used the solid Crisco butter-flavored shortening that comes in stick form. It’s much easier to measure that way (in my opinion).
  • I used Krusteaz pancake mix, but any pancake mix will work.
  • I recommend using an electric mixer to beat the ingredients. The pancake mix package said to leave the batter lumpy, so I was a little wary to beat the batter until smooth, but it turned out just right. The pancakes were light and fluffy and yellowish in color.
  • To make sure I had enough, I doubled the recipe and measured out each pancake using a ¼ cup measuring cup.
