Expert Tips

Pancakes are ready to turn when they are puffed and bubbles form on top.
Mix pancake batter in a measuring cup or bowl with handle and spout. Then you can easily pour batter onto griddle.
For tender pancakes, mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. There may still be lumps in the batter.
Keep pancakes warm in a single layer on paper towel-lined baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
Adding toppings to your pancake is an easy way to put a fun twist on your normal breakfast.
1. Apple-Rum Butter topping: Beat 1/2 cup softened butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup Apple Butter and 1 teaspoon rum or 1/4 teaspoon rum extract to taste.
2. Blackberry-Lime Sauce: In small saucepan, combine 2 cups blackberries or raspberries, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Simmer sauce for 10-15 minutes until berries break down and sauce slightly thickens; stir in 1 teaspoon grated lime peel.
3. Cherry and Granola Topping: Top with about 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt and 1/4 cup frozen (thawed) sweet cherries; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons granola.
4. Maple Yogurt Topping with Candied Nuts and Bananas: Stir in 1/3 cup real maple syrup into 8 ounces plain Greek yogurt; top pancakes with maple yogurt; sprinkle with candied or regular walnuts, or pecans and sliced bananas.
5. Red, White and Blueberries Topping: Melt 1/4 cup raspberry preserves in small saucepan; add about 1 tablespoon orange liqueur or orange juice. Serve sauce with pancakes, fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup crème fraiche or sour cream mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar.
6. Super Sundae Topping: Drizzle pancakes with warm chocolate sauce or chocolate syrup; top with sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, chopped toasted pecans, sweetened whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
Leftovers? Stack cooled pancakes between sheets of waxed paper. Wrap in aluminum foil and freeze. To reheat, unwrap pancakes and removed waxed paper. Heat on ungreased baking sheet in 400°F oven 5 to 7 minutes or until hot, or microwave uncovered on high until hot.
Success Don't flip 'em more than once! Repeated cooking on both sides toughens rather than browns the pancakes.
How-To To measure Bisquick, spoon it into a dry-ingredient measuring cup, then level the top with a metal spatula.
