Description

Keep it simple! These scallops will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Instant Pancake Mix
  • 2 pounds Fresh Scallops
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Preparation

Heat a non-stick frying pan on the stove, on Medium-High heat.

Place a dollop of butter into the frying pan, and a touch of olive oil. Allow it to heat up until bubbly.

Place 1/2 cup of instant pancake mix (dry) onto a plate.

Toss the scallops in the pancake mix, then straight into the frying pan.

Fry the scallops in the butter. Allow to fry for approximately 2 minutes, then toss them around the pan, adding a dash of pepper and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Then serve! Scallops should be cooked enough so that they split, and they should bounce a bit when you touch them with a fork. They shouldn’t be cooked so much that they are as hard as a hockey puck.

Enjoy with your favourite side dish!

Oh how I love scallops! Question, though…for pancake mix do you mean something savory/salty like Bisquik, or the instant mix for breakfast pancakes, which would be sweeter? Either one sound delicious to me!
