Cake Mix Pancakes

After an amazing, fun-filled weekend celebrating my father-in-law's 60th birthday and a trip to Manhattan to watch the Cats, we wanted nothing more than a relaxing, lazy, football-filled Sunday that definitely included pancakes for breakfast!  We have not had this opportunity in quite a while since our weekends have been filled with K-State games (fun!), traveling (fun!), and house showings (not fun).  I found this cake mix pancake recipe in an ad in a magazine and we both thought it was more delicious than regular pancakes!  This will probably be our go-to pancake recipe.

Pancakes
1 cup Bisquick
1 cup yellow cake mix
3 tablespoons sprinkles - I left these out but if I ever make them for Keith I will definitely include them!  You could substitute mini m&ms or chocolate chips, but they were delicious plain.
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Glaze (I did not make this - we just used regular syrup.)
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix pancake ingredients.  Pour 1/4 cupfuls onto heated skillet.  Cook until golden brown.

Mix glaze ingredients until smooth.  Drizzle over pancakes.

Derrick is better at pouring the batter and flipping pancakes than I am, but below are a couple of tips that I learned from making pancakes with my dad when I was little -

• After pouring the batter, look for bubbles to form before flipping - this is a good time to throw on blueberries, chocolate chips, or mini m&ms.  If you stir them into the batter, they often sink to the bottom.
• Only flip once for perfect pancakes!
