Step-by-Step Instructions for Oreo Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This blend creates a light and fluffy base for your Oreo Pancakes. Ensure there are no lumps for the best texture, and set the bowl aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of whole milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until fully combined. A whisk works great here! You want the mixture to be smooth and creamy, with no visible egg whites. This delightful wet mixture will blend seamlessly with the dry ingredients, bringing your Oreo Pancakes to life.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula. Aim for a batter that still has some lumps, as this leads to fluffier pancakes. Once just combined, fold in the 6 crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for that oh-so-decadent flavor in each bite.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and let it warm up for a couple of minutes. To test if it’s ready, splash a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle and evaporate immediately. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a little extra melted butter for optimal pancake flipping later on.
- Pour about half a cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow them to cook undisturbed for approximately 2 minutes, or until bubbles start forming on the surface. This visual cue indicates that the bottom is golden brown, creating a perfect base for your Oreo Pancakes.
- Gently flip the pancakes with a spatula once bubbles appear and edges appear set. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the second side is also golden brown. The aroma should be irresistible at this point! Keep an eye on them as they cook to ensure they don’t over-brown.
- Once cooked, transfer your fluffy Oreo Pancakes to a warm plate. Stack them high, and feel free to serve with maple syrup and your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream or fresh fruit. Relish the delightful combination of flavors, and watch your family dive into this scrumptious breakfast treat!
