Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Pancake mix already has flour, rising agent and a little sugar in it, which makes it a handy shortcut for any mug cake.
Make it a learning moment: cut an apple across the middle instead of top to bottom and look for the star hidden inside.
