Ingredients
- 1 pint strawberry ice cream melted
- 1 package strawberry muffin mix just add water or milk variety - comes in a bag
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk if needed to thin out the pancake batter
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips optional
- 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies
- sliced strawberries for topping
- 1 tsp sugar to macerate strawberries
- whipped cream optional, for topping
Instructions
- Slice fresh strawberries and add to a bowl. Sprinkle sugar over strawberries and stir to combine. Set to the side.
- Combine melted ice cream, egg, Bisquick, white chocolate chips (optional), and bag of muffin mix in a large bowl and stir to combine. If batter appears to be too thick, add about 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup of milk to thin out to desired consistency.
- In a zip top bag, crush up shortbread cookies to a medium-fine consistency. You will need 1/2 cup of crushed cookies plus more for garnish.
- Add the 1/2 cup of crushed shortbread cookies to the pancake batter and fold in to combine.
- Add some butter to the heated griddle. Be sure that your griddle surface is not too hot.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Allow to cook for a few minutes on the first side. When pancakes start to set up and bubble a bit on the outsides, flip them to the second side and cook until done. (We added the pancakes to the griddle in batches of 6 at a time to make it more manageable.)
- When pancakes are done, remove from the griddle and allow to cool slightly.
- Serve your strawberry shortcake pancakes with the sliced strawberries and whipped cream on top. Finish with a sprinkling of crushed shortbread cookies.
Notes
You can freeze the leftover pancakes in a Ziploc bag. To reheat frozen pancakes, we like to put them in the toaster oven on the toast setting, or you can also microwave them.
