Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven and melt oleo in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix flour, milk, and eggs together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture over the melted butter in the pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 425°F.
- Serve with syrup or fruit.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using melted coconut oil instead of oleo. You can also substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option or add a pinch of vanilla extract for extra taste. If you prefer a fluffier texture, beat the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter before baking. This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to your liking, similar to how you can customize Honey Scones.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Houligan Pancakes warm, topped with your choice of syrup or fresh fruit for a delightful breakfast. They pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier meal. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside Fruit Party Pizza for a colorful brunch spread that will impress your guests.

Leftover Houligan Pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or microwave for 30-45 seconds until warmed through. For best results, avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before baking. This makes for a quick breakfast option, similar to how you might prep for Cheese 'N Spinach Casserole.
What if I don’t have a 9 x 13-inch pan?
If you don't have a 9 x 13-inch pan, you can use a similar-sized baking dish or divide the batter into smaller pans. Just keep an eye on the baking time, as smaller pans may require less time in the oven.
Can I add mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! You can incorporate chocolate chips, berries, or nuts into the batter for added flavor and texture. Just fold them in gently before pouring into the pan to keep the pancakes light and airy.
