Gathering Your Ingredients

Before we start mixing, let’s make sure we have everything we need. Using Bisquick makes this recipe super convenient, but there’s always room to add your own personal touch!

• Classic Bisquick Pancakes:
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix  
  • 1 cup milk  
  • 2 large eggs  
• Extra Flavor Boosters (optional but delicious!):
  • 2-3 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
• Optional Add-Ins for Extra Fun:
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Mixing the Batter

Now for the fun part! Mixing the batter is quick and easy, and you can even get the kids involved.

1. First, grab a medium-sized bowl and whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until you have a smooth batter.
2. Next, if you’re adding the extra sugar, melted butter, and vanilla, whisk those in now.
3. Finally, gently fold in any optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix!

Cooking Your Bisquick Pancakes

Time to get those pancakes on the griddle!

1. Preheat a lightly oiled griddle to 375°F or a skillet over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, leaving some space between them.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges look set, bubbles form on the surface, and the bottom is golden brown.
4. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
5. Remove from the griddle and repeat until all the batter is used.
