Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick, egg, and milk thoroughly in a mixing bowl with a large mixing spoon.
- Finish mixing by using a fork to ensure all the Bisquick is well incorporated and free of lumps.
- Add a little more milk if the batter is too thick, but only slightly.
- Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and wipe lightly with a paper towel.
- Set the heat to medium.
- Use a serving spoon to dip batter into the skillet to form small pancakes.
- Cook until the bottom side is browned, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. You can substitute whole wheat flour for Bisquick for a healthier option, or add a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor. If the batter is too thick, adjust with a splash more milk until you achieve your desired consistency. Remember to keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream. They pair beautifully with Aunt Helen'S Hominy Casserole for a hearty breakfast spread. Consider adding a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a complete meal that satisfies both sweet and savory cravings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them separated by parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply microwave them for about 20-30 seconds or toast them in a toaster for a crispy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before cooking, as it may thicken slightly while resting. This way, you can enjoy fresh pancakes with minimal effort in the morning.
What can I do if my pancakes are burning?
If your pancakes are burning, the skillet may be too hot. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the skillet to cool slightly before adding more batter. This will give the pancakes time to cook through without burning on the outside.
Can I add ingredients like blueberries or chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or even nuts into the batter before cooking. Just be careful not to overmix after adding these ingredients to maintain the pancake's fluffiness and texture.
