- Flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side until cooked all the way through.

Notes
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- The calories shown are based on the recipe making 18 pancakes, with 1 serving being 1 pancake. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. The information in the nutrition box are calculated through a program and there is room for error. If you need an accurate count, I recommend running the ingredients through your favorite nutrition calculator.**
- Use less milk if you'd like a thicker pancake.
- The exact number of pancakes will depend on how much milk you use and how big you make the pancakes.
- There's no need to add leavening such as salt, baking powder or baking soda since the cake mix already has those ingredients.
