Can I also do this using a baking pan on a trivet INSTEAD of right in the Instant Pot? If so, how much water on the bottom of pot & how long to cook it? Thank you:)
I used bisquick instead of pancake mix and got a burn notice just minutes into the process with the cake setting. Tried scraping the cooked cake off the bottom and using the manual low pressure since the cake setting was high pressure. Got the burn notice again 🙁
Hi Sheilagh,
We are sorry to hear that you got the burn notice.
This recipe is difficult, one reason is that even though Bisquick is similar to pancake mix it is not exactly the same. That could have caused the initial issue.
Unfortunately changing the cooking program doesnt correct burn notices. Burn Notice relies on a sensor that determines if there is a potential to burn.
You will have to correct what is causing the tripping of the burn sensor.
Typically it is food sticking to the base of the inner pot. I would use nonstick spray to ensure the pancake batter doesn’t stick to the bottom.
We have a blog post that explains the burn notice in detail.
I tried to do it but i got the burn notice and couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it. In the end I did it with the rice option but it was a bit mushy on the inside .. edible, but not fluffy as a cake.
What a disaster. Burn notice after multiple attempts – following the recipe like a chemist… following all the website tips to avoid burn notice.
Same thing for me, will try in a pan if i do it again. So took the hslf baked batter out put on a cookie sheet with butter, cinnsmon and sugar and made a crumble.
Very easy.
Hotcakes for everyone!
Used a buttermilk substitute (milk and vinegar) and did not turn out. Used cake setting also. Stuck to bottom so did not use enough butter either. Will try again with real buttermilk and more butter;)
Tried this recipe with the nonstick spray, still burnt to the bottom and wouldn’t finish cooking. Very disappointing
I made this in my Duo60 using a pancake mix recipe. I had to use the Multigrain setting as i kept getting the Burn notice otherwise.
The first time I made it I used too much flour and got the “food burn” error. No biggie, thay was on me.
The second time I made the batter correctly and used a little extra shortening to grease the pan. I still received the food burn error.
I’m disappointed that this one didn’t work out.
I tried this today using Aunt Jamima pancake mix.
I added the butter as suggested but substituted some cream for a portion of the water that was required. It stuck pretty bad to the bottom of the pot and seemed slightly under cooked.
It was hard to get out of the pot but once I did I ate half of it and it was pretty good.
Perhaps adding the cream caused it to stick more, and using Pam cooking spray instead of the butter on the pot inside would have yielded a better result.
I think this a is a recipe which requires fine tuning and multiple attempts, which in reality is sometimes the essence of cooking anyways.
Couldn’t make it because it kept saying food burn
Burn. Burn. Burn. Burn.
added cinnamon & vanilla, didnt use all butter at end, it stuck but finished the cycle on cake.bottom was dark brown vs picture. cake itself was a little mushy vs a pancake. We treated this as a mega thick crepe smoothered with ice Cream & longonberry fig preserves
This would be better if it was a cake recipe since you don’t have any plain cake recipes on your site . TRY THIS RECIPE IN A PAN IT WILL TURN OUT MUCH BETTER
Recipe does not work at all. Cook for 5 mins and you get a burn warning. Why put the recipe on the app if it has issues without warning anyone. Only reason i found out there are issues was from the reviews after i tried to make it. Its called a disclaimer please use it
Burn, Burn Burn. Now can’t get the mess out of my pot.
Very nice, thank you!

Please take down this recipe. I also kept getting food burn notice and didn’t see these comments till after I ran into that. Obviously not a great recipe!
Burn notice for me and everyone else in the comments.
I should have read all the reviews…..burn! So disapointing. Now I have a mess to clean up, and wasted time and ingredients.
Very disappointing. The pancake comes out mushy, more like raw, and stuck to the bottom.
Burn burn burn for me too. Wish I read comments before attempting.
Burn food error 5 minutes in. Why is this recipe still online? It doesn’t work.
Good recipe but too watery. If some needed edits are made then you will have a nice fluffy pancake.
For a serving of 6 – reduce water to 1/4 cup (better yet substituted for 1/2 cup egg white
– increased flour by 1/4 cup to 2 1/2 cups
This recipe screams, “please use PIP method!”
the trick is use a nonstick pot. i just made it to see if it would burn and it turned out perfectly
april harper-the instant pot ceramic pot instead of stainless steel or a separate pan in the pot? i was thinking of trying my springform.
What size pot is that for? I tried it today and it came out undercooked. Top, while still in the pot, still looked like batter.
We have a six quart.
Such a delight to make and to eat with the whole family! Thank you so much! For anyone who asked for Instant Pot accessories, check out this Amazon store – https://amzn.to/3rzTm7K
Like others who commented on this recipe, I got the “burn” notice only a few minutes in. Hopefully i can get the burned batter out of the pot
