Ingredients

For the pancake batter

• 2 cups Bisquick mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk

For the buttery base

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ⅓ cup milk sorghum molasses (or your choice of thick molasses or syrup)

Optional Toppings

• Fresh blueberries (or your favorite berries)

Instructions

1. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, blend the Bisquick, eggs, and milk until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

   🥄 For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before using!

2. Prepare the pan: In a Teflon-coated pan (8" square or 9" round), melt the butter on low heat. Remove from heat and add the brown sugar and molasses, stirring until combined into a delicious drizzle.

3. Add fruit (optional): If you're feeling fruity, sprinkle a handful of blueberries evenly over the melted mixture.

4. Pour and bake: Carefully pour the pancake batter over the melted mixture and any additional fruits. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, until golden and fluffy.

5. Serve and enjoy: Slice into squares and serve warm. Perfect for 4 to 6 people!

   🍓 Top with your favorite syrup, whipped cream, or more fresh fruits to elevate your pancake game!

Tips & Tricks

• Make it a feast: Pair with crispy bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast platter.
• Meal prep: These pancakes are great for meal prep! You can bake them ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze. Just reheat in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to indulge.
• Flavor boosts: Experiment with other flavors by adding vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for a unique twist!

Variations

• Vegan: Substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use a plant-based milk and butter alternative.
• Gluten-free: Swap out the Bisquick for a gluten-free pancake mix; just ensure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
