  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 24 – 4-inch pancakes (33 oz frozen pancakes or homemade)
  • 2 cups half & half
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Toppings (optional)

  • Powdered sugar
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Butter a 9 x 13-inch (3-quart) baking dish on all sides or spray it with nonstick baking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Arrange Pancakes: Cut each pancake in half to make semicircles. Place them flat side down in the baking dish with the rounded edges facing up, arranging in neat rows or any pattern that fits the dish.
  3. Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together half & half, eggs, maple syrup, and salt until the mixture is light and frothy.
  4. Soak Pancakes: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the arranged pancakes, making sure each piece is well saturated to absorb the flavors.
  5. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to allow the pancakes to soak up the custard while the oven heats.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center is puffed and set. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out wet, continue baking for an additional 5 or more minutes.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before cutting into portions. Serve warm topped with powdered sugar, fresh berries, chocolate chips, and extra maple syrup as desired.

Notes

  • This recipe uses frozen or homemade pancakes; if using frozen, thaw slightly before assembling for best absorption of custard.
  • You can customize toppings to your preference; berries and chocolate chips add delightful bursts of flavor.
  • For a richer dish, substitute half & half with heavy cream or add vanilla extract to the custard mixture.
  • The casserole can be prepared the night before; assemble it and refrigerate overnight, then bake in the morning.
  • Use fresh eggs and high-quality maple syrup for the best taste.
