You can use milk instead of water in Krusteaz pancake mix.

Or if you don't have regular milk you can also use oat milk or other milk substitutes.

The milk will make the pancakes taste better.

You can add milk and eggs to Krusteaz Pancake mix.

Whisk the Krusteaz pancake mix, water, milk and eggs until smooth.

The batter will be slightly lumpy.

Then cook the pancakes on a lightly greased griddle.

You should use oil for pancakes as butter browns too quickly on high heat of the skillet while oil has a higher smoke point which doesn't brown as quickly.

Canola oil or coconut oil or shortening or even clarified butter or ghee make good oils for cooking pancakes with.

You should add eggs to pancake mix as adding an egg to the pancake mix batter adds richness to the batter and makes for better pancakes.

You can make pancake batter as far in advance up to 4 days in advance.

You can make and refrigerate pancake batter up to 4 days in advance.

Make sure to keep the pancake batter in an airtight container before refrigerating it or place the pancake batter in a Ziploc bag or sealable piping bag.

The difference between pancake batter and waffle batter is that waffle batter contains more sugar, eggs and butter than pancake batter.

This makes waffle batter richer with higher fat content than pancake batter and pancake batter contains more milk than waffle batter.

Pancake batter goes black as a result of oxygenation which is harmless.

Pancake batter will keep for 3 days, refrigerated.

Little black dots may form on the batter's surface on days 2 and 3 — they're a harmless result of oxygenation.

Just stir to combine. Add mix-ins such as nuts, fresh or dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the batter just before cooking.

And too much oil in the pan is the culprit behind pancakes that are splotchy brown rather than evenly golden from edge to edge.

People who've made pancakes have all experienced the annoying phenomenon of having the first batch of pancakes turn out splotched with brown spots, while subsequent batches come out evenly golden.

The signs that pancake batter has gone bad are.

There's mold or wet clumps in the package. That's a sure sign moisture got it.
It smells moldy or off in any other way.
The package has holes or there are some dead or alive pantry pests in the mix.
You stored an open mix unsealed for months.

Standard pancake batter (made from flour, milk and eggs) should last for between two to four days when stored in the refrigerator, depending on the expiry date listed on your milk and eggs.
