Step 1
Batter Up!

Collect ingredients, set topping ingredients aside

Preheat oven to 190C (about 375F)

Whisk the eggs while adding in milk, you should do this quickly but try to avoid bubbles and fluffing

Now, switch to a spoon and fold in pancake mix, if using an electric mixer, setting should be low


Step 2
Pour & Cook

You will need to grease the bottom of each cupcake hole slightly

Pour mixture into pan, make each one about a centimeter thick

If you are planning on making a sandwich kind, pour a little less

Bake on the middle rack about 7 minutes-it wont be fully cooked!
This is when they are ready for step 4.


Step 3
Choppin' Like a Ninja

Begin chopping your ingredients

If you are using meat, begin cooking it as soon as you can so it will be ready

Chop all of your add-ins rather small so they will fit in the holes

Have them in a bowl or another way to have them ready to fill the holes so it will be quick

If you are doing it the first way, whisk your eggs and add spices


Step 4
Filling it Up

Don an oven mitt and rest the pan somewhere safe

Take a spoon and press a hole in all of their tops-the uncooked batter will be on the sides now

If you are doing this sandwich style, loosen half of them and have them ready to cover

Add in either your egg or the cheese

Now fill the cakes to your desire, top with either cheese or granola, or the sandwich layer




Step 5
Waiting

Bake at the same temperature in the same place for 10 minutes

Take out only if the eggs are fully cooked-nothing should jiggle (unless it's cheese)

Let cool, then get them out by running a knife or spoon around them and lifting them out

Enjoy every bite!
