EASY BISQUICK BANANA PANCAKES
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...

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).
EASY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
A simple brunch dish, savory side, or main dish that can be varied to taste. I enjoy eating cottage cheese pancakes with Indian-inspired toppings, sometimes spiced with curry or ginger, and with chutney and a sour pickle on the side. Add fry bread and a bean salad for a full meal. Feel free to add any spice, fruit puree, seeds, dried fruit, bits of meat or cheese, beans, or condiments to the batter, between 1 tablespoon and 1/2 cup.

TWO-INGREDIENT EASY BANANA PANCAKES
Provided by Food Network Kitchen
Time 25m
Yield 30 silver-dollar pancakes
Number Of Ingredients 3
Steps:
- Blend the eggs, banana and pumpkin pie spice if using in a blender until smooth.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches, drop silver-dollar portions of the batter (about 1 tablespoon) onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Tips:
- To ensure light and fluffy pancakes, make sure to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and then combine them gently. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Allow the batter to rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in more tender pancakes.
- Heat a lightly oiled pan or griddle over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will cook too quickly and be undercooked in the middle.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
