Notes

I usually end up with a little extra batter, maybe 1/2 cup or less. Being a person that doesn't like to be wasteful I like to make a quick microwave mug pancake with the leftover. It's super simple. Grease a ceramic or glass mug (about 8oz size). Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Add batter. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar then microwave for 60-75 seconds or until the mug pancake is done.
