Comments were unanimously enthusiastic. One user noted, “You can do that for French toast; apparently, all the high-end restaurants do it. Ice cream and an egg.”
Some creators are adding milk to their ice cream pancake mix, but the process works as long as the batter has the right amount of each ingredient.
That’s how @queen.g__ makes hers—with a little less ice cream than others. She also personalizes them by adding five different flavors of ice cream, including butter pecan and mint chocolate chip, proving you can get creative with it.

How to Make Ice Cream Pancakes
To try out ice cream pancakes at home, you need one heaping scoop of ice cream (go with your favorite flavor) and one cup of self-rising flour. Mix them together until they have a batter-like consistency, then cook them on a skillet with a bit of oil or butter. In minutes, you’ll be ready to serve up a plate of fluffy, light, vanilla-flavored deliciousness.
If this mashup wasn’t exciting enough for you, you can combine it with the also-viral scrambled pancake technique. Whatever way you make them, don’t forget you can freeze your batch for quick weekday breakfasts when you’re short on time. Serve your ice cream pancakes with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or stay on theme with by adding a scoop of ice cream on top—you may as well fully indulge.
