Soaked in a delicious custard mixture and topped with a buttery crumble, this dish is easy to prepare the night before and ready to bake in the morning.

Ingredients

  • 24 frozen pancakes, cut in half
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  • Dash of nutmeg
  • ½ cup flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pancakes: Cut each of the 24 frozen pancakes in half. Layer them in a casserole dish with the rounded side facing up, packing them tightly together.
  • Make the Custard: In a mixing bowl, beat the 6 eggs. Add the whole milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. Stir until combined.
  • Assemble the Bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the pancakes in the casserole dish. Cover with tin foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • Make the Crumble Topping: In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
  • Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping over the casserole and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set.
  • Serve: Let it cool slightly, then serve with fresh fruit or syrup.

Notes

  • Fruit Add-ins: Add berries, sliced bananas, or other fresh fruits between the layers of pancakes for added sweetness and flavor.
  • Spiced Version: Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice or apple pie spice for a seasonal twist.
  • Chocolate Chip Pancake Bake: Add chocolate chips to the pancake layers for a decadent touch.
  • Lighter Option: Use skim milk and a sugar substitute to reduce fat and calories.
  • Freezing: Freeze the casserole before baking and thaw it overnight before baking in the morning.
