Cranberry Pancake Supper
Sweet and tangy cranberry pancakes with a tender, fluffy texture, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch that delights with a burst of fruit flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Bisquick, egg, and milk in a medium bowl.
- Beat with a rotary beater until smooth.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of cut-up cranberry sauce.
- Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle.
- Turn when bubbles appear on the surface.
- Cook the other side until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. If you don't have jellied cranberry sauce, you can substitute with whole cranberry sauce or even a homemade cranberry compote. Adjust the milk quantity if the batter seems too thick. For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. Serve with a dollop of sour cream for a tangy twist.
Serving Suggestions
These cranberry pancakes are delightful served with maple syrup and fresh fruit. Consider pairing them with some crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast. For a festive touch, serve alongside Sour Cream Bowknots or a light salad. A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top can add a touch of elegance, making them perfect for brunch or a cozy supper.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for about 30 seconds. For a crispier texture, reheat on a hot skillet for a couple of minutes on each side. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just ensure to separate layers with parchment paper.
