Homemade Bisquick-Style Pancakes for Two

FOR THE HOMEMADE BISQUICK MIX Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is your homemade Bisquick mix.

FOR THE PANCAKES In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the homemade Bisquick mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until moistened and no large lumps remain. The batter should be slightly lumpy, as overmixing will result in tough pancakes. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown. Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings. Enjoy your homemade Bisquick-style pancakes for two!
