Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large non-stick skillet or electric griddle
  • Spatula
  • Ladle or ¼-cup measure

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Bisquick mix or pancake mix
  • cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Heat your skillet or griddle over medium-high heat while gathering ingredients.
  • Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl at once.
  • Whisk quickly until just combined (small lumps are good).
  • Test pan with a few water drops - they should sizzle.
  • Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto hot surface.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on surface.
  • Flip and cook another 1 minute until golden brown.
  • Remove to plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

    • Classic maple syrup and butter
    • Fresh berries or sliced bananas
    • Whipped cream and chocolate chips
    • Peanut butter and honey
    • Greek yogurt and granola

Tips for Success

    • Preheat your pan completely before starting to mix ingredients
    • Don't overmix the batter - lumps create fluffiness
    • Cook multiple pancakes simultaneously for maximum speed
    • Flip when bubbles form but before they all pop
    • Keep finished pancakes warm under a clean kitchen towel
    • For extra-fast cleanup, line your serving plate with parchment paper
