📋 Recipe
Best Pancake Recipes: Bisquick Pancakes (+More Great Pancake Flavors!)
Ingredients
Ultimate Pancake (additions)
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla paste)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, or your griddle to 350°F (175°C) and coat with melted butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine either just the base ingredients for the 'classic' Bisquick pancakes, including Bisquick baking mix, milk, and large eggs.2 cups Bisquick, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs
- If desired, add the optional ingredients for the 'ultimate' Bisquick pancakes, including sugar, baking powder, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract or paste.3 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Stir until combined, and lumps in pancake batter are totally OK. Portion out the batter into your heated skillet or onto your griddle in scant ¼ cup portions.
- Cook on the first side for 30 seconds to a minute, until the surface bubbles have popped and the edges are dry enough to get your spatula under. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Remove from your skillet or griddle when done and repeat as needed.
Equipment You May Need
Notes
- For thinner pancakes, increase the milk amount to 1 ½ cups.
- I like a bit more vanilla in my pancakes. You can easily add up to ½ tablespoon.
- Try adding maple syrup instead of vegetable oil. Use 1 tablespoon syrup and omit the vanilla extract.
- Pancakes are best when served with slightly warmed syrup. Portion your syrup into a microwave-safe carafe or jar and heat in 30-second increments until warm.
