Pancakes Smothered in Strawberries & Whipped Cream for a Crowd
You know all those lengthy recipes for buttermilk pancakes? Well, fuggedaboudit. If you’re cooking breakfast for a crowd, this is every bit as good and way easier!
So Easy and So Good!
Just head on over to Sam’s (pre-placing your order on the Internet is the only way to go!) and pick yourself up a box of Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix. No wonder their buttermilk pancakes are so popular. Light and fluffy with a touch of creamy buttermilk, the only thing better for breakfast is to top ’em with strawberries and whipped cream and drench ’em in syrup. If you’re cooking for more than 10 people, pick yourself up a pancake batter dispenser (1 per cook) while you’re at it. You’ll thank me. Now go for it!
Serving Size: 3 Pancakes per person
1 cook - can cook about 115 pancakes in 1 hour – 1 ½ hours with several large griddles and the mandatory pancake batter dispensers.
2 cooks - can cook about 115 pancakes in 30 – 45 minutes with several large griddles and 2 mandatory pancake batter dispensers.
- 1/2 (10 pound) box Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix NOTE: Will keep in freezer up to 1 year
- Oil for the griddles
- 5 pounds Strawberries
- 1 can Whipped Topping
- 2 pounds Salted Butter
- 1 gallon bottle Maple Syrup NOTE: Figure about 3 ounces syrup per serving. 1 gallon serves about 42
- 4 (18” x 10”) Griddles
- 1 Pancake Batter Dispenser
-
Wash the berries, trim off the top and dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
-
Heat griddles to 375 degrees F (medium heat). Lightly grease griddle. Measure water into a large bowl. Add pancake mix and gently combine with wire whisk until the dry mix is just moistened. Batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not over-mix.
-
Let batter stand 2 minutes.
-
Pour (or dispense with pancake dispenser) slightly less than ¼ cup batter per pancake onto griddle.
Cook pancakes 1 – 1 ¼ minutes per side, or until golden brown, turning only once.
