Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Deep frying pan or pot
- Slotted Spoon
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix look for a version that requires just water
- 1 cup water adjust based on the consistency you prefer
- oil for frying choose a neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil
- optional toppings maple syrup, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 cup of water. Use a whisk to blend until the batter is smooth and thick enough to hold its shape but not too thick.
- Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan or pot to fill about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), or test by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should sizzle and rise.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the pancake puppies with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfect crispiness.
- Prepare the batter fresh for best texture, but it can be refrigerated for a few hours if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to keep them crispy.
- Try different oils like peanut or coconut oil for unique flavors.
