Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray if necessary.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Once the pancakes are cooked, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of each pancake. This will allow the milk mixture to soak in beautifully.
- Pour the milk mixture generously over the pancakes, allowing it to soak in. Let them sit for a minute to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the soaked pancakes topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy your Tres Leches Pancakes warm!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider folding in some vanilla extract into the pancake batter.
- You can substitute the whipped cream with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
- For a fruity variation, top the pancakes with fresh berries or banana slices.
