Ingredients  


Instructions

  • Stir together 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup vanilla ice cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined and only some lumps remain.

  • Add some of the 2 tablespoons salted butter to a nonstick pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, scoop some of the pancake batter onto the pan; you should be able to cook 3 or 4 at a time in a 12-inch skillet. I used a #20 scoop, which is 3 tablespoons or 1.5 ounces.

  • Reduce heat to low and cook until the edges of the top begin to bubble and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional minute.

  • Re-butter the pan and repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with butter and syrup.

Notes

  • Butter is optional but does add flavor. You can use non-stick spray if preferred.
  • The pancakes, as measured, are about 4 inches across.
  • This is a smaller batch, but you can easily double it to make more small pancakes or larger pancakes.
  • We tested this recipe with both Haagen-Dazs and Gifford's brand ice creams, and both worked great, even though one contained egg and one didn't. 
  • Try mixing up the flavor by using different ice cream flavors!
  • It's easiest to measure the ice cream in weighted grams before melting.
