Ingredients for 7 Up Pancakes

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 7 Up

How to Make 7 Up Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until light and frothy.
  2. Add 1 cup of pancake mix to the wet ingredients.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup of 7 Up, mixing gently until most lumps disappear. Don't overmix!
  4. If the batter is too thick, gradually stir in additional 7 Up, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The batter should be slightly thinner than traditional pancake batter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
