Can you use pancake batter to fry things?
Yes and it actually makes a light, crispy coating. It’s perfect for foods like fried chicken, onion rings, and even deep-fried Oreos. Since pancake batter already has flour, baking powder, and a bit of sweetness, it creates a slightly fluffy texture when fried. You can thin it out with water or milk for a lighter coating or add extra seasoning for more flavor.
Can pancake mix replace flour in recipes?
Sometimes! Since it has leavening agents, it works best in recipes that need a little rise.
Can I use pancake mix to thicken gravy?
It’s not the best option, but in a pinch, you can use a small amount to thicken sauces.

Just love your blog but it has two hiccups. One is I want to sign up for your newsletter, but because there’s so many ads, I don’t want to get those in my email which is what I would need to do to sign up for your emails. The second thing is there’s so many ads to plow through that I lost interest. I think this could be a great blog with a little bit of reformatting to keep the reader engaged in your great recipes.
Thank you for your suggestions. I am sorry you find it inconvenient. Unfortunately, the ads are what pays for me to keep this website going and continue to create recipes. I pride myself on having the least intrusive ads as possible.
