Firecracker Pancakes Recipes

FESTIVE FIREWORKS PANCAKES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, milk and eggs until well combined. Divide batter evenly among 3 squeeze dispenser bottles.
• Squeeze a few drops red food color into 1 bottle, and blue food color in another. Use a skewer or the back of a long spoon to stir food color into batter. Leave other bottle without coloring. Replace caps to seal.
• Squeeze small circles of each batter onto hot greased griddle; cook until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
• Arrange pancakes on plate. Place frosting in piping bag fitted with tip; pipe frosting on pancakes to look like fireworks. Sprinkle with decorating sugars.

BEST QUICK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle to 375 degrees or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in bowl. Add egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
• Using a 2-ounce ladle, about 1/4 cup, pour pancake batter in pools two inches away from each other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, 1 minute.
• Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on heat-proof plate in oven.
