1. Can I Prepare This the Night Before?

Yes! Prepare the batter and store it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, pour it into a baking dish and bake fresh.

2. Can I Use a Pancake Mix Instead of Making the Batter from Scratch?

Absolutely! Just follow the mix instructions, pour it into a baking dish, and bake as usual.

3. How Can I Make It Dairy-Free?

Swap out regular milk for almond, oat, or coconut milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
