Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes

My kids ate peanut butter and jelly pancakes on vacation.   Theirs were one big pancake spiraled with peanut butter and jelly. These are quite different.  The peanut butter is mixed into the batter.  Quite delicious.  One hint;  you may wish to double the syrup recipe.  




Batter:

1  1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
2  1/2 cup baking mix (I used Jiffy)
2 eggs
Cooking spray


Syrup:

1 cup jelly (flavor of your choice)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

• For the syrup:  heat the jelly in a saucepan over medium heat
• Dissolve the cornstarch and water in a small bowl
• Once the jelly becomes liquid, stir in the cornstarch mixture
• Simmer until a syrupy consistency is reached. Remove from burner
• If the syrup becomes jelled, just place over low heat until syrup-like consistency returns

• For the Pancakes: Over low heat, warm milk, whisk in peanut butter and mix until smooth.  remove from heat
• In a mixing bowl, add baking mix.  Stir in eggs and milk mixture until combined
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Spray with cooking spray
• Place 1/4 cups of batter in skillet and cook until golden brown
• Once it bubbles, flip over and cook the other side
• Serve with syrup
