Easy Buttermilk Baking Sheet Pancakes

So you'd rather hang with your brunch guests than stand over a hot oven flipping flapjacks? Gather everyone around for a giant baking sheet pancake, instead! When you set this hot cake in the center of the table, everyone can add their own toppings and slice at will. A great choice for busy moms, too: just give the kids cookie cutters to make their own fun and you'll both have a great breakfast! Serve with syrups, jams, and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

cooking spray
3 ½ cups complete buttermilk pancake mix
2 cups water
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
⅓ cup sliced bananas (optional)
⅓ cup sliced fresh strawberries (optional)
⅓ cup fresh blueberries (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cover an 11x17-inch baking pan with aluminum foil; grease with cooking spray.
Stir buttermilk pancake mix and water together in a bowl. Let batter stand, about 10 minutes.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the corners. Scatter chocolate chips, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until pale and set, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Broil pancake until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes. Slice with a pizza cutter or cookie cutters.
