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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
