Melt in Your Mouth Pancakes

We had strawberry shortcake for dinner last night. Yes, that kind of breaks our no dessert during lent (except Sundays), but the Hubs has had some kind of stomach bug this past weekend and couldn't eat anything and when he finally requested something, I thought we could cheat. After all, we're supposed to render our hearts and not just our garments, right???? :)

So I had to make my own Bisquick b/c I never have any around the house and my shortcakes need bisquick. Here's the recipe for your own biscuit mix here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Biscuit-Baking-Mix/Detail.aspx (I scaled it down to 4 servings).

I had just enough Bisquick leftover to make Melt in Your Mouth pancakes from the Betty Crocker website. OMGoodness . . . so amazing AND the best pancakes I've ever made . . . I have personally tried a dozen different recipes. These are to die for. Well, not literally, but they are pretty FABULOUS.

Ingredients:

2 cups Original Bisquick® mix (or your own)

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs 

• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F; grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (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 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.
• Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden. To keep warm, place in single layer on cookie sheet. Cover with aluminum foil, and place in 200°F oven up to 10 minutes.

It makes about 16 pancakes. Enough for several days of breakfasts at our house. You could even add blueberries or chocolate chips. I added a bit of vanilla too. Delicious!
