    Can I make pancakes without eggs?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Three tbsp of aquafaba (its the liquid in a can of beans ... chickpeas are most recommended) works for each egg called for in the recipe. Or you can make flax eggs if you have ground flaxseed and water (you can simply google how to make that one).

    What if I have no Bisquick original mix? Could I make my own?
    Community Answer
    To make your own pancake mix, in a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
  • Question
    Can I mix the batter the night before?
    Community Answer
    It best not to. If you do so, your pancakes won't rise well when you cook them. Let your batter stand for a few minutes and the batter will thicken, then cook your pancakes then and enjoy.

    Yolks provide a thicker consistency to any mixture. You can remove them if you like, but the mix will be thinner.

    How many pancakes will the recipe yield?

    If you make pancakes the size of the frozen ones at your grocery, the recipe will yield as many as it says. If you make them "plate" size, you can count on about half as many as the recipe says.

    How long should I cook the pancakes?

    Until there are very little bubbles at the top of the pancake, then you flip it. Once you flip it, it'll only take a minute or two to finish; carefully lift an edge of the pancake with the spatula and peek underneath to see if it's done.
