Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use a different pancake mix?

Yes, but the “just add water” type is easiest

2. How can I tell if the oil is hot enough?

Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 375°F, or drop a small bit of batter in – it should sizzle immediately.

3. Can I make these ahead of time?

They’re best served fresh, but you can keep them warm in the oven for a short time.

4. Can I add other toppings?

Absolutely! Try cinnamon sugar, chocolate drizzle, or even caramel sauce.

5. How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container, but they’re best enjoyed right away.
