For the Custard Base

For the Crumb Topping

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish

  • plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Start by greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Evenly arrange the frozen pancakes in a single layer across the bottom of the dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined and smooth—about 2 minutes.
  3. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until they resemble coarse crumbs—about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the soaked pancakes. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
  6. Once baked, allow your Pancake Breakfast Bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with toppings like fresh fruit or maple syrup.
