Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 9 tablespoons canola oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries

Method

  • Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix well.
  • Using an electric mixer, slowly stir in canola oil.
  • Mix until all lumps are gone and mixture is a uniform texture, about 1 minute (You've just made a scratch "box" of Original Bisquick Baking Mix; If you scale recipe down, you can store excess mix in an airtight container.).
  • If you're feeling lazy, you may skip those steps and just get a box of Bisquick.
  • Add milk and eggs to baking mix. Mix well.
  • Add cherries. Blend until batter is smooth and bright pink. If needed, you may adjust the thickness of you batter by adding a tablespoon of milk or flour at a time, and mixing well.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto hot, greased griddle. For Silver Dollars, pour tablespoons of batter onto griddle.
  • Cook until pancake starts to bubble & edges are slightly dry. Turn; and cook until golden.
