2 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 eggs

Grease or spray griddle or skillet. Heat over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5) (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5). (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear).

Stir all ingredients until blended. Pour by slightly less than ¼ cupfuls onto hot griddle.

Cook until edges are dry; about 1 minute 30 seconds. Turn; cook 1 minute 30 seconds or until golden.

Cook's Notes:

  • For thinner pancakes, increase milk to 1⅓ cups.
  • Cook these pancakes on a true cast-iron griddle or in a large cast-iron skillet. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the hot pan (it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles on the surface), then don’t turn them until they puff up and bubbles form on top. Flip pancakes once, cooking until just golden brown.
  • Don't flip 'em more than once. Repeated cooking on both sides toughens rather than browns the pancakes.
  • Keep pancakes warm until ready to serve by placing them uncovered in a single layer on a paper towel-lined cookie sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
  • Serve pancakes topped with sliced banana, raspberries, blueberries, or grated chocolate for a delicious way to start your day.
  • Freeze leftover Bisquick pancakes stacked between sheets of waxed paper, then wrapped in foil or a plastic freezer bag. To reheat, unwrap pancakes and remove waxed paper. Place 1 pancake at a time on a microwaveable plate and microwave on High for 30-60 seconds or until heated through. Top with peanut butter mixed with maple syrup to make them on-the-go friendly.
  • Mix pancake batter in a measuring cup or bowl with handle and spout. Then you can easily pour batter onto a griddle.
