Using a spoon, add the milk of choice one spoonful at a time until a thick, firm batter is formed.

Notes

Apple pie spice: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice.
Milk: Start with one tablespoon and continue adding more as needed. When I use some casein powders, I have had to add up to 3/4 cup. Don't fret if it's significantly more than a tablespoon.
