How long do I cook it for on the first side?
Cook for 1-2 minutes until;
- The edges begin to curl
- The liquid batter has set
- When you lift the edge the base is golden brown.
- Use a fish slice or long palette knife to flip
How long do I cook the second side?
- Cook 30-60 seconds more. Lift the edge and check if the base is golden brown.
- As each pancake is cooked, slide it out of the pan on to a warm plate.
What if I make a batch of pancakes all at once?
If serving a batch of pancakes, stack the pancakes and keep warm over a pan of simmering water or in an oven on very low heat.
Can I cook the pancakes ahead of time?
You can make a batch in advance so you have plenty to serve at once: layer between small sheets of greaseproof paper, wrap in foil and freeze for up to a month. Defrost thoroughly before heating through. (This can be done in the oven or microwave).
What if I want to add something to the mix to make a pancake with a twist?
For variety and a further twist, EXTRA flavour can be added to the dry mix before adding water and making up the pancake mix.
For sweet options:
add ½ tsp ground cinnamon OR
1 tsp vanilla extract OR
grated zest of a lemon or orange OR
2 tsp orange or rose water
For savoury options:
add 1 tsp dried or 1 tbsp freshly chopped fresh herbs OR
½ tsp chilli powder OR
1 tsp cracked black pepper or paprika OR
try adding 2 tsp sun dried tomato paste
Add ONE of the selected flavours into your Betty Crocker ® “Shake to Make” pancake mix. Screw the lid on, then shake well.
Then make up as per the instructions. It'll give your pancakes that little extra something!
But remember this will flavour the whole batch of pancakes!
