Seal the jar tightly and label it with the following instructions for baking: 'Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the jar mix, 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (or melted butter), and 1 large egg. Stir until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.'
