I usually go with Bisquick.
AFAIK, there is no Bisquick in this house.
Baking powder and soda? Yes.
Recipe book? Check!
I bet you make Jiffy cornbread, too.
No, I always make my cornbread from scratch. I could make the pancakes from scratch, but I'm generally too lazy. It's enough of a pain in the ass to stand over the griddle and cook up the entire batch.
I have stood over, literally, millions of pancakes in my life.
In fact many of the memories of my life are of me flipping pancakes, making pancakes, eating pancakes.
mmm...pancakes.
I can make them on a grill...and have....but at home, I usually make them one at a time. I use a medium sized pan with a little fat in the bottom.
They go into the oven until I have cooked the whole batch..as long as I'm not cooking a million. If I'm cooking a million I put them in the oven until I have a stack, then while people eat that I cook more.
Usually one at a time.
There for some years I was doing little ones, but I'm back to good sized ones. The kids like them big, it's fun to have a big pancake that takes up most of your plate lol.
I made blueberry pancakes for my best friend and her family when they came to the coast..they rented a house on the lake for a long weekend, I came and saved them from making themselves horrific slop that they were calling pancakes.
It still gives me nightmares, thinking of what my friend was doing to the batter..if it could be called batter. omg it was awful.
I've made pancakes for about a hundred people at a time, that's fun...but it's more fun making them at home.
