Ingredients

For the Bisquick Pancakes (makes 12–14 pancakes): • 2 cups Bisquick Original pancake mix
• 1⅓ cups milk (whole or 2% for richest flavor)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
• Optional add-ins: ½ cup blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped bananas

Cooking: • Butter or oil for griddle

Serving: • Butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Process

Mix the batter
In a large bowl, whisk Bisquick mix, milk, eggs, and vanilla until just combined (lumps are okay—don’t overmix).
Rest (optional but better)
Let batter sit 5 minutes—pancakes fluff up more.
Heat griddle
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter.
Cook pancakes
Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Add berries/chips now if using. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges are set. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden.
Keep warm
Stack cooked pancakes in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
Serve
Stack high, top with butter and syrup.
Enjoy
Eat hot—best fresh off the griddle.

Tips for Fluffiest Bisquick Pancakes

• Don’t overmix—lumps = tender pancakes
• Medium heat—high heat browns outside before the inside cooks
• Fresh Bisquick—check date for best rise
• Add vanilla—takes them from good to great
• Use real butter on griddle—flavor upgrade
• Double recipe—extras reheat beautifully

Variations and Customization

• Blueberry: fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen berries
• Chocolate Chip: ¾ cup chips
• Banana: sliced bananas + cinnamon
• Pumpkin: ½ cup pumpkin puree + pumpkin spice
• Protein: add protein powder + extra milk

Storage and Serving Tips

• Best fresh—peak fluffiness
• Fridge up to 3 days—reheat in toaster
• Freezes beautifully up to 3 months (flash freeze then bag)

• Quick refresh: warm + fresh butter/syrup

Overmixed batter or old Bisquick.

Use Bisquick Gluten Free mix—same ratios.

4. Make-ahead batter?
Yes—fridge overnight. Stir gently before using.
