Some premade pancake mix batter says to "just add water" this is because the batter already contains eggs and milk. But if you're making your own pancake batter; use wheat flour, self-rising flour, or all-purpose flour.

Also when making your own pancake batter you will need 2 eggs and soy milk added to the mix.

Almond milk or coconut milk are healthy ways of using milk, and Land O'Lakes butter is a healthier choice for using butter in the pancakes.
