Denny's Pancake Puppies

Denny's Pancake Puppies are small, fried pancake balls made from a simple mixture of pancake mix and water, cooked in hot oil until golden brown. These bite-sized treats offer a crisp exterior with a soft, fluffy interior, perfect for dipping in maple syrup or dusting with powdered sugar. Their compact size and fried preparation distinguish them from traditional pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix use the kind where you only need to add water
  • 1 cup water
  • cooking oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees. 
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine pancake mix and water.  Stir until well blended.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
