Hahahahaha, no way (≧▽≦).
Yep there is one pancake mix that doesn't require even an egg, but I haven't tried that yet. But how's the texture pala? And yep, it is really convenient, although masaya din gumawa frim scratch kaso ang hirap lalo baka magkamali, with the ready mix, easy nalang yarn, lol.
Oh I always make sure na mainit na yung pan bago ko lagyan ng oil. Then dapat mainit din yong oil, yong tipong naga usok usok na then pahinaan ng apoy, yong super low talaga. Then while you're at it, spread mo yong oil using the sandok, like padaanan mo ng sandok yong kawali, after that pwd mo na lagay. Gawain ko yan sa pag prito ng kahit ano, effective naman, walang dikit, walang sayang ╮(＾▽＾)╭
