Notes
When you’re whisking the eggs into the muffin mix, be on the lookout for extra clumps. The pancake batter should eventually be this smooth, silky consistency. You can whisk it longer to achieve that consistency.
Some muffin mix batters require more liquid than others. If the batter is too thick, add some milk and oil to level it out. If it comes out flat, add an egg. Pancake batters are thinner than muffin batters and less sticky so be on the thinner side to be safe.
I opted for olive oil instead of butter as there is a natural buttery flavor found in the muffin mix. You can always use butter or a neutral oil. If you are vegan, you can use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
Adding milk, especially whole milk, gives your pancakes an iconic taste. The fat allows the batter to get this creamy texture. If you'd still like to use water, then add some fat like oil, butter, or coconut oil to mimic the creamy texture and flavor that milk provides.
