How do I make pancakes with Mrs. Butterworth's Pancake and Waffle Mix?
The standard method is to stir the mix with water until smooth, following the proportions printed on the bag, then cook on a preheated greased griddle over medium heat. Flip when bubbles form on the surface, and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Can I use this mix to make waffles in a waffle maker?
Yes, the same just-add-water batter works in any standard or mini waffle maker. Cook according to your appliance's instructions, and lightly grease the plates before the first waffle to prevent sticking.
How do I make muffins or corn dogs with this pancake mix?
For muffins, stir the mix with water, eggs, and oil as directed on the bag, then fold in blueberries or chocolate chips and bake. For homemade corn dogs, insert sticks into hot dogs, dip them into the prepared batter, and fry in hot oil until golden and cooked through.
Does this mix work with both regular and mini waffle makers?
Yes, the batter works in full-size and mini waffle makers. Just adjust the cook time based on your appliance, and lightly grease the plates before pouring the batter.
Can I add eggs or milk to this just-add-water mix?
Yes, although the mix is designed to work with water only, you can customize the batter by adding eggs, milk, or buttermilk to suit your taste. Many bakers use it as a base and adjust depending on the recipe.
What comes in the bag, and do I need to buy anything else?
The 32 oz bag contains the dry pancake and waffle mix only. To make pancakes or waffles you just need water, a bowl, a whisk, and a greased griddle or waffle maker. Toppings like syrup, butter, and fruit are sold separately.
Is this product safe for people with common food allergies?
Because ingredients and manufacturing can change, always read the current label on the bag before serving, especially if you have wheat, dairy, egg, soy, or other allergies. The current bag is the source of truth for allergen and ingredient information.
How should I store the bag after opening?
After opening, reseal the bag tightly or transfer the mix to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. Stored this way, the mix typically stays fresh for many months and still produces light, fluffy pancakes.
What is the difference between a pancake mix and a waffle mix?
Pancake and waffle mixes are very similar, but waffle batter is usually a little thicker and contains more fat so the waffle crisps on the outside. This particular Mrs. Butterworth's mix is formulated to work for both pancakes and waffles, so you do not need to buy two separate products.
