Instructions
How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Starting with a fully heated oven helps the pancakes bake evenly and develop that golden top.
Lightly grease a half-sheet baking pan with butter, cooking spray, or oil so the pancakes release easily after baking.
Mix the batter. Add the pancake mix to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and melted butter and whisk until well combined.
2 Cups Pancake Mix, 4 Tablespoons Butter, 4 Large Eggs
Add the milk. Slowly add the milk while whisking the batter. Start with about 1 cup of milk, then add a little more if needed until the batter becomes pourable but still slightly thick.
1 1/2 Cups Milk
The batter should drip from the whisk while leaving a thin coating behind.
Pour the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan. It should spread naturally across most of the pan. If needed, use a spatula to gently spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Allow the pancakes to cool for about 2 minutes, then slice into squares with a knife or bench scraper.
