EASY BISQUICK BANANA PANCAKES



Easy Bisquick Banana Pancakes image

So, this is basically the Bisquick "ultimate" pancake recipe on the back of the Bisquick box. I've just made an addition and some subtractions. I wanted banana pancakes and I was only going to use 1 but the bananas were so ripe that all the stems detached and I had to use them all anyway. The original "ultimate pancake" recipe...

Provided by Stacy Bell

Categories     Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c bisquick (but any pancake mix would probably do)
2 tsp baking powder
3 small bananas (mashed)
1 c milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, measure out roughly 2 cups of Bisquick. You don't have to be exact. I think if you prefer a thinner batter you could probably add more milk. Add the baking powder.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • 3. Add the wet mixture to the dry stuff and whisk. It will be lumpy but that's ok. I use a frying pan (coated with PAM) and set my stovetop burner to 2 (which is a low setting). Now, our oven is a little wonky so the low setting cooks up the pancakes really well. Obviously, you know your oven so adjust accordingly. If you have a griddle, even better. I make my pancakes on the large side so I pour approximately 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup in the pan. Let cook until you see bubbles forming and then flip over. A nice golden brown color is what you're going for but if you like your pancakes on the pale side-that's fine. I keep my pancakes warm in the oven (~150-200 F) on an oven safe plate and I loosely cover it with foil. Serve warm with syrup or mix up some (thawed out) frozen fruit or fresh fruit with some sugar (or whatever sweetener you prefer).

Fluffy Banana Pancakes with Caramel Pecan Sauce and Ricotta Cream image

Everyone loves pancakes. In this recipe, fluffy pancakes combine beautifully with bananas, pecans and caramel sauce, and are served with a delicious ricotta cream. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or after a light meal. Even better, most components can be prepared well ahead of time. The sliced bananas can be stirred through the batter just prior to cooking, or arranged over the top of each individual pancake as it cooks. If serving as a dessert, rum or brandy can be added to the caramel pecan sauce if you wish.

Provided by Daydream

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 ounces caramel candies, chopped
3/4 cup cream (light, whipping)
1/3 cup pecan halves, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut, flaked (desiccated)
1 tablespoon rum or 1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
1 cup smooth ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2-1 teaspoon orange zest, finely chopped
1 cup plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 pinch salt
10 fluid ounces buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon caster sugar (superfine sugar)
2 medium bananas, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Caramel Pecan Sauce: In a small non-stick saucepan, melt caramel pieces gently with the cream, stirring occasionally until smooth and blended.
  • Add pecans and flaked coconut (and rum or brandy if desired), stir to combine with sauce, then remove from heat.
  • Serve warm over pancakes.
  • Can be prepared the night before, then heated in the microwave until warm.
  • Ricotta Cream: Place ricotta cheese, confectioners sugar, orange juice and orange zest in a bowl.
  • Beat with a whisk until well combined.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Can be prepared the night before.
  • Fluffy Banana Pancakes: Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl.
  • Place buttermilk in a 2-cup glass-measuring cup and add butter.
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes, until butter melts.
  • Lightly beat yolks, then combine with the buttermilk and butter mixture, whisking to incorporate.
  • Then add vanilla essence and caster sugar (superfine sugar) and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add buttermilk mixture to the flour, and whisk together until batter becomes thick and smooth.
  • Batter can be prepared to this stage, the night before.
  • Beat egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff.
  • Fold whites carefully into batter until evenly mixed (and the sliced bananas can be added at this stage, too, if you wish - otherwise, see step 20).
  • Heat a 6-inch diameter fry pan or skillet and brush lightly with melted butter, or spray with vegetable oil.
  • For each pancake, pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into pan, and swirl around quickly to distribute evenly over bottom of pan.
  • Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then lay some banana slices over the top.
  • When pancakes are lightly browned on the bottom (about two minutes), flip over and cook other side.
  • When cooked through, transfer pancake to a baking tray and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest of the batter (Each pancake should take about two minutes per side).
  • To serve, drizzle warm caramel pecan sauce over each pancake, and top with a generous dollop or two of ricotta cream.

Tips:

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, use buttermilk instead of milk. Buttermilk's acidity reacts with the baking soda, creating carbon dioxide bubbles that give the pancakes their light and airy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax, making the pancakes even more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking them over too high heat will brown the outside before the inside is cooked through.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Classic toppings include butter and maple syrup, but you can also get creative with fruits, nuts, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

Banana pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a stack of fluffy, flavorful pancakes that will satisfy the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give banana pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
