Anyone used the Betty Crocker Bisquick mix to make American Pancakes or Scones?

Hi,

I used to get through quite a lot of this (grew up in the US) but was just being lazy - it's nicer and probably cheaper to make your own, particularly if your crowd eat as many pancakes as mine do.

This is the recipe I use for pancakes:

225g plain flour (about 8oz)
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp caster sugar (optional - but lovely if you know you are going to have sweet fillings/toppings)
pinch of salt
2 eggs
250ml milk (about 9fl oz)

Seive the dry ingredients into a big bowl. Chuck in the eggs and milk and stir
to make a batter. Don't worry if it's a bit lumpy. Cook pancakes. Enjoy with your fave toppings.

This is just a basic starting point, I made pancakes this morning and used about 350g flour and just added a bit more milk. If you like your pancakes more American style, mix up a quite thick batter, for more crepey ones just add a bit more milk.

I usually make way more than we need on a Sunday morning so the kids can heat them up on Monday morning for a quick weekday breakfast.

This is 41p in Tesco now, it's lovely for American style pancakes with crispy streaky bacon and mmaple syrup.

I make these too We have them 2-3 times a week for breakfast. You can leave out the egg for greater economy, there is very little difference.

I sometimes use yogurt instead of milk in which case I add 2 tsp baking powder +1 tsp bicarb (baking soda).
