Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Pancake mix (2 cups)
  • Eggs (2 large)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Sweetened condensed milk (1/2 cup)
  • Evaporated milk (1/2 cup)
  • Heavy cream (1/2 cup)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray if necessary.
  3. 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Pour the milk mixture generously over the pancakes, allowing it to soak in. Let them sit for a minute to absorb the flavors.
  7. Serve the soaked pancakes topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy your Tres Leches Pancakes warm!
