The Easy Cake Mix Hack For Pancakes In A Pinch
By Allison Lindsey
If you're craving pancakes but suddenly realize you're short on pancake mix, boxed cake mix offers a convenient and quick solution that yields similar results.
Although the packaging advertises different foods, both mixes contain flour and leavening agents like baking powder or soda to facilitate rising for light and fluffy griddle cakes.
Simply add eggs, milk, and butter or oil as you would with a standard box of pancake mix, and you'll be enjoying a tall stack of syrup-drenched pancakes in no time.
Cake mixes also come in a wide range of exciting flavors like strawberry and lemon, allowing you to enjoy a broader spectrum of pancake flavors.
To combat overly sweet cake batter pancakes, remove some of the pre-made mixture, replace it with plain flour, and use olive oil instead of butter for a less rich flavor.
