Can I use milk instead of water for Aunt Jemima pancakes?

Making Pancake Mix Easy Aunt Jemima takes the guesswork out of making perfect pancakes. Milk not only adds flavor, but the milk fat is necessary for tender, moist pancakes. Plain water just won’t give the same results. Milk can also be added in place of water in the “complete” mixes for a thicker texture.

What does adding an extra egg to pancake mix do?

Adding eggs to your pancake mix will give the batter a better texture and flavor, more resemblant of homemade pancakes. Something I also like to do if I want extremely fluffy pancakes, is to whip up the egg whites and fold them into the pancake batter.

What are the directions for Aunt Jemima pancake mix?

Combine 2 cups Aunt Jemima mix, 1-1/2 cups water and 1/3 cup oil; stir until large lumps disappear. For best results, allow batter to rest 4-5 minutes before baking. Pour desired amount of batter into lightly greased waffle iron. Bake until steaming stops.

What happens if you add too much milk to pancake mix?

From doubling up on eggs to mistaking baking soda for baking powder, the margin for error with homemade pancakes is vast. Adding too much milk made for a sweet, crepe-like pancake while leaving out most of the sugar made for a bland flavor.

Does Aunt Jemima pancake mix need to be refrigerated?

The leavening agents are activated by liquid so the mixture should be stored tightly sealed in an airtight container and in a cool, dry place. It should keep for up to 3 months providing that the leavening agents are fairly fresh.

Should you let pancake batter sit?

You should. Resting pancake batter for at least 10 minutes (or even overnight) does two key things, both of which help the batter rise better and cook to a more tender finish in the pan. The first thing a good rest does is allow time for the flour to hydrate. You’ll have better pancakes for it.

What does oil do for pancakes?

Butter is a beautiful thing; it will make a good pancake taste better, and it’s the only thing I’ll use to grease my griddle. Oils break down in high heat, so that’s no good, and besides, you have to deal with the flavor that oil gives the pancake. Butter goes with every pancake I make, so it’s my safety fat.
