We’ve been busy in the Betty Crocker® kitchens, putting together our most useful top tips for you, to help you get the best results from our Betty Crocker® “Shake to Make” pancake mixes.
The secret to successful pancakes is:
- A good quality non-stick frying pan
- Making sure the pan is hot enough before you begin
The advantage of using Betty Crocker® “Shake to Make” pancake mixes is that the batter does not need to stand for 30 minutes – simply shake and make the pancakes immediately.
Carefully follow the instructions on the pack.
How to make the perfect pancakes?
- Do not over-shake the mixture, as too much can result in tougher pancakes. They should be light and tender.
- Always heat the pan over a medium hot heat before adding the batter.
How do I know the pan is hot enough?
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before you begin. Simple tip: flick a drop of water on the pan, if it sizzles, the pan is hot enough to start. If not, wait a while longer, then try the drop of water test again.
How can I stop them from sticking? What grease should I use?
- You can add a tablespoon of sunflower oil, swirl it around the pan then pour off the excess.
Simple tip: Adding some melted butter to the pancake mix means you will not need to use as much to cook them. Make the “Shake to Make” batter, add 25g melted butter to the bottle and re-shake a few seconds, then cook the pancakes in a lightly greased pan.
How much batter do I add to the pan?
- When adding the batter, pour from the bottle just enough batter to cover the base of the pan evenly, swirling it around quickly, as the batter starts to cook immediately. You can make the pancakes as thick or thin as you wish, there is no rule for this.
