Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a small 8-inch skillet on medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon butter Crisco.
- Beat the ingredients with a wire whisk until blended.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet and cook until the edges are just dry.
- Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, separate the egg whites and beat them to soft peaks before folding them into the batter. You can substitute the Carnation evaporated milk with regular milk or a non-dairy alternative. If you prefer a sweeter pancake, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or try pairing with fruit for added flavor, similar to the ingredients in So Easy Cream Puffs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Nick's Pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and a sprinkle of fresh fruit like berries or banana slices. They also pair wonderfully with crispy bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast. For a delightful twist, consider serving them alongside Breakfast Apple Squares for a varied breakfast spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warm. For a crispy texture, reheat in a skillet over low heat with a little butter until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick?
While Bisquick is specifically designed for pancakes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid to achieve the right batter consistency. Whole wheat flour will give a denser pancake, so consider adding an extra egg or a bit more milk for fluffiness.
How can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
To make dairy-free pancakes, replace Carnation evaporated milk with any non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk, and use a dairy-free butter substitute for cooking. This way, you can still enjoy delicious pancakes without the dairy.
What toppings work best with Nick's Pancakes?
Popular toppings include fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar. You can also try nut butter for added richness or a fruit compote for a homemade touch, creating a delightful breakfast experience.
