Okay, here’s my story about making Kodiak Cakes with milk and an egg:
So, the other day I was craving some pancakes. You know, the fluffy kind that just melts in your mouth. I had this box of Kodiak Cakes mix sitting in my pantry, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I’d heard good things, but I’d never actually tried making them with anything other than water.
First things first, I grabbed the box and took a look at the instructions. It’s pretty straightforward: mix, milk, and egg. I gathered everything I needed: the Kodiak Cakes mix, an egg, some milk, and a pinch of salt for good measure. Oh, and butter, can’t forget the butter!
I preheated my non-stick frying pan over medium heat. While that was warming up, I got a medium-sized bowl and dumped in one cup of the pancake mix. Then, I cracked the egg into the bowl and poured in about 3/4 cup of milk. A dash of salt, and then I started whisking it all together.
- One cup of Kodiak Cakes mix
- One egg
- 3/4 cup of milk
- A pinch of salt
- Butter
Now, the instructions say to not overmix, and they’re not kidding. You want a few lumps in there. I whisked until it was just combined, and the batter was thick but still pourable.
Once the pan was hot, I added a little pat of butter and let it melt and sizzle. Then, I poured about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. You could see little bubbles starting to form on the top – that’s when you know it’s time to flip.
The Flipping Part
Flipping pancakes can be a bit tricky, but here’s a little trick I learned: use a thin spatula and get it all the way under the pancake before you flip. And don’t hesitate, just go for it! A quick, confident flip usually does the trick.
I cooked them for a couple of minutes on each side until they were golden brown and cooked through. And let me tell you, the smell was amazing. Like, seriously, I could barely wait to dig in.
Once they were done, I stacked them up on a plate, added another pat of butter on top, and drizzled some syrup all over them. And yeah, they were just as fluffy as I’d hoped. Adding the milk and egg made a huge difference. They were so much richer and tastier than the ones I’d made with just water before.
So, if you’ve got a box of Kodiak Cakes mix and you’re looking to up your pancake game, definitely try adding milk and an egg. It’s a total game-changer. You won’t regret it, trust me!
