Easy Paris-Brest Cream Puffs using Pancake Mix for Festive Occasions
A friend requested a foolproof cream puff recipe... So I looked up the ingredient list of pancake mix and cake flour, and through trial and error, I was able to come up with this "simple" recipe.
Feel free to change the shape or size of the cream puff shell, the cream filling or fruits.
I've included some tips to help you out.
Do not use ingredients straight out of the fridge or too much eggs.
Pancake mix bakes darker quicker than flour.
Bake the puff batter immediately.
When making the ring, the width should be no more than 4 cm. If it's too thick, it gets too heavy and collapses.
It looks pretty when it rises high.
Do NOT open the over door until it has completely finished baking. For two 17 cm [6.7 in] round pans or 10 puffs. Recipe by Momora

Cooking Instructions
- 1
*To work fast and avoid mistakes, make sure to prepare all the ingredients first. *The ingredients should be at room temperature. Measure the pancake mix. If using flour, sift. Measure out exactly.
- 2
Beat the egg until smooth. *It's important to work quickly, but please be careful of burns, etc.
- 3
In a heat resistant bowl, add vegetable oil and salt. Microwave at 500 or 600 W uncovered for 3 minutes. If you don't know the wattage of your microwave, heat until it boils for about 5 seconds.
- 4
As soon as you remove from the microwave, plop in the pancake mix altogether. Quickly mix with a spoon to get rid of the floury bits and gather it together.
- 5
Put the mixture from Step 4 into the microwave at 500 or 600 W for 45 seconds. As soon as you remove it from the microwave, add the beaten egg in several batches.
- 6
Mix well until the batter is thick and slowly drops off the spoon. Preheat the oven to 375F/190℃. *Make sure the batter is heavy enough so the streaks from mixing are visible.
- 7
Using a spoon, pour the mixture into a 15 cm ring. Spray water or wet your finger with water to spray the mixture (It will expand by 2-3 cm). Use wet hands to fix the shape.
- 8
Place Step 7 into the oven and bake, without opening the door for 15 minutes. *If using flour, bake at 375F/190℃ for 20 minutes, and 355F/180℃ for 20 minutes.
- 9
When it has finished baking, let it cool and then slice in half. Sandwich any fruit or cream of your liking between the halves and you're finished. A heart-shape would also look lovely, wouldn't it.
- 10
To make round puffs, in Step 7, form the batter into 3 cm circles. After spraying, it's the same. Use this recipe for the custard.

Character Crepes Made from Pancake Mix Character Crepes Made from Pancake Mix
I thought about making a cloth-like crepe using pancake mix for my pancake and crepe-loving son, but inspiration struck when I was making it, so I rolled them up and drew on some faces.The faces will fall off if you don't strongly whip the heavy cream.Adding in lots of heavy cream gives these a good shape.When adding in more of milk B to turn it into a crepe batter, you will end up with crepes that are too thick if there is not enough milk, and you won't be able to tuck it in at the bottom. Please try it out after cooking just one piece. Recipe by Hamumaki -

Simple Tart Base with Pancake Mix Simple Tart Base with Pancake Mix
I was aiming for a simple tart without butter and is easy to make even for beginners.The pinch of salt brings out the flavor. The sweetness is really brought out by the soft flavor of the pancake mix and the sweet custard cream. It's easier to combine and mix the dough batter when using vegetable oil rather than olive oil. You can use soy milk but it doesn't bring out the taste of the pancake mix as well. For 18 cm [7.1 in] tart pan. Recipe by Nekozame -
For Doll Festival: Easy Tri-Color Steamed Bread Cake made with Pancake Mix For Doll Festival: Easy Tri-Color Steamed Bread Cake made with Pancake Mix
I wanted to make a tri-color pound cake for the doll festival....and I wanted it to be healthy...there was still some yogurt left...and why not make steamed bread? ....so I just mixed the ingredients and made this!When creating a layer with the batter, pour the batter evenly from the beginning like in Step 7. If you pour the batter in the middle first and try to spread it out, the cake batters will blend together. I didn't use sugar because I had in mind to make a healthy cake, so the cake is only slightly sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar depending to your liking. For one 15 cm [5.9 in] × 15 cm plastic container. Recipe by Marrietty -
Simple Crepes From Pancake Mix Simple Crepes From Pancake Mix
While I was working at a cake shop, I would make 3 liters' worth of crepes every day.3 liters is too much to make at home, so I adjusted the ingredient amounts for manageable portion sizes.If the frying pan is properly heated before you cook, you won't fail at cooking the crepes.You could use margarine instead of butter and it will still be good, but if you use a low-calorie spread, the crepes will tend to burn.Cooked crepes can be stored in the fridge if you wrap them individually.

Basic Baked Donuts & Cupcakes with Pancake Mix Basic Baked Donuts & Cupcakes with Pancake Mix
This batter is simple and delicious.I've adjusted this recipe to yield about 1 plateful of donuts. I'm really into using pancake mix in everything at the moment, so I've also uploaded some other recipes that use it.Of course you can still make this by mixing everything together in a bowl instead.I recommend using a freezer bag if you're just making enough batter for a 12 donut mold or small cupcakes though.This recipe isn't so sweet so if you want to add more sugar, feel free.

Brioche-style Pancake Mix Bread Brioche-style Pancake Mix Bread
I tried adding some leftover pancake mix and ended up with a soft, sweet, brioche-like bread, similar to that of our neighbourhood bakery. Brioche usually has plenty of butter, but by using coffee creamer I've reduce the butter.If you put the bread case itself on the scale to weight the ingredients, it cuts down on washing afterwards.About the coffee creamer: there's soy and milk-based types. Either is fine. However, the milk-based type is a bit richer and helps the bread expand, so I would suggest going with this. Recipe by Miashanmama -
