For Cooking Pancakes
When ready to make pancakes, preheat a griddle to 325°F or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups (or 260 grams) pancake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla, if desired, with a wooden spoon just until most of the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. If it's too thick, add a little bit more milk
Coat the griddle (or skillet) with butter and pour 1/4 cup batter in circles. Cook 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear. Flip and cook 1 minute, or just until lightly browned.
Serve immediately or place pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F to keep warm.
