In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the pancake mix and water.

Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

If the batter is too thick, add a bit more water (a teaspoon at a time).

For a fluffier pancake, use a little less water.

Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes.

Check the pancake at the 1-minute mark; it should be set in the middle and slightly puffed.

Microwaves vary in power. If your pancake isn't fully cooked after 1.5 minutes, continue microwaving in 15-30 second intervals until done.

Let it cool for a minute, then top with your favorite toppings.
