Denny's Pancake Puppies
Description
Using pancake mix combined with water for convenience, the batter is scooped into hot vegetable oil heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Frying creates a lightly browned crust with a tender, cooked-through center. The cooking method requires careful temperature control to avoid greasy or undercooked pancakes.
These pancake puppies make a playful breakfast or snack, served with maple syrup or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Add-ins like mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon can be folded gently into the batter to vary the flavor without disturbing the light texture.
Maintaining the oil temperature is key; if you lack a thermometer, testing with a small drop of batter should cause it to sizzle and rise to the surface quickly. This recipe focuses on achieving the right balance between crispness and softness unique to fried pancakes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix use the kind where you only need to add water
- 1 cup water
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine pancake mix and water. Stir until well blended.
- Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop to drop the batter into the oil. Cook until browned on the bottom, and flip over and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Remove from oil, and drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
- Maintain oil at 350°F to ensure pancake puppies cook evenly without greasiness.
- If no thermometer is available, test oil heat by dropping a tiny bit of batter; it should sizzle and rise quickly.
- For variation, gently fold mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon into the batter.
