Notes

  • Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
  • You want to purchase the complete pancake mix that says "just add water". It is a complete pancake mix which means it doesn't require milk, etc.
