cake mix pancakes

[kstagnaro]

Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

I have not tried it, but I would think it should not be difficult. If you can make cookies out of mix, then pancakes should also be good. Maybe do not add three eggs. One would probably be ok and no oil, just some milk in place of water and less. good luck.

I have considered trying it as well but never found any recipes thanks Sis for posting a link.I have always thought it sounded like a good idea myself.

I made these at Christmas time for my husband's Birthday; they was so good... Like the Cherry black out cake.

For the life of me I can't remember whos' recipe this was but did find it on the internet.... Hope this will help.. please let me know how it works out for you.

I'm sure you can do it with any cake mixes (flavor)

Here is a picture that I Copy that came with the recipe

Ingredients:

3/4 cup dried cherries (about 5 ounces),
3 Tbsp brandy (or cognac)
3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 of an 18.25 oz box Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Red Velvet cake mix (about 2 cups lightly filled)
2 large eggs, beaten (see Cook’s Note)
2 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup + 1 tsp water
3 Tbsp butter

Dark chocolate, shaved or grated
Whipped cream (optional)
Powdered sugar (optional)

PREPARATION:

Coarsely chop about 1/4 cup of the cherries and set aside. In a small saucepan, simmer the brandy for a minute to evaporate the alcohol (you can flame off the alcohol instead if you’re feeling theatrical), then add the water and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, add the whole and chopped cherries, and cook for a few minutes until the cherries soften and plump up a bit. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and water in a mixing bowl until just thoroughly blended (don’t overmix). If batter seems too thick, add another tablespoon of water. Cook the pancakes in a non-stick pan over medium heat. You want to cook these a little slower than regular pancakes because you don’t want them to brown too much. Keep them warm in a low oven.

When ready to serve, reheat the cherries and whisk in the 3 tablespoons of butter. Spoon the cherry butter over the pancakes and shave or grate some dark chocolate over the top. Decorate with whipped cream or powdered sugar, if desired.

Makes about 8 pancakes (about 5 inches across)

Cook’s Note: To make these (or any other pancakes) lighter, separate the yolks and whites. Combine the beaten yolks with the other batter ingredients; beat the whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the batter.
