Hotcakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cup Bisquick® Original Pancake mix (the instant kind)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup Sprite®

Cooking Directions

Pre-heat an electric griddle to 375°. Mix hotcake ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth.

Apply about 1 teaspoon of Crisco® shortening to the griddle, spreading evenly with a paper towel. (Be careful not to burn your fingers) Pour the hotcake batter on the greased, pre-heated griddle, forming 5 inch hotcakes. Cook until dry around the edges, (about a minute) then turn. Allow to cook about 40-50 seconds after flipping, and remove. Place the cooked hotcakes on an oven safe plate, and warm in your oven for 5-8 minutes. (This helps give the hotcakes that tough texture McDonald’s is famous for) Serve with Aunt Jemima® original maple syrup. (It is the closest ingredient match to McDonald’s hotcake syrup)

*Note: The Bisquick® pancake mix is available in their "Shake & Pour®" variety. Use the 7 ounce size, and follow the package directions… using 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup Sprite® in place of the 1 cup of water stated on the package.

McDonald’s Hotcake Big Breakfast

Serve 2 cooked hotcakes with a McDonald’s sausage patty.

Important Note: McDonald's doesn't really use Sprite® in their hotcake batter. This is a clone recipe that closely matches the flavor of McDonald’s Hotcakes. They have their own dry mix that requires only adding water.
