Back to Basics. I wonder why I can't reproduce the Bisquick pancake. Bisquick is just flour, right? a little trans fat, baking powder, and salt. So what's the problem here. Inspiration hit me as I went back to the original pancake recipe using Bisquick (2 c Bisquick, 1 c milk, 2 eggs). These are largely different proportions than I have seen in the recipes I've been trying. Much lower hydration and more eggs. So, I found a new recipe that is hopefully a little more comparable to making the kind of pancake I like.
Bisquick-like pancakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (4 oz=3/4 c)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk or buttermilk (not the powdered variety)
2 eggs
I may even increase the amount of flour if need be. I also found a recipe with vinegar and baking soda, but for now I'm going to try and stick with a recipe with very basic ingredients.
Success! They are amazing. At least the texture is. Flavour is just okay.
I tried adding 6 T of butter, but they came out too mushy, so too much butter. Maybe try adding 2 T of butter, or none at all. I like them super light anyway.
