Firecrackers, barbecues, beers and buddies – it’s what the 4th of July is all about!

In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, egg, water and oil. Mix well by hand until all lumps are gone.

Divide batter into three equal portions. Place two portions in a small bowl and one in a sealable bag. Add red and blue food coloring to each bowl to tint the batter.
