Today, I’m sharing my Popeye Pancakes recipe and our family’s secret trick when we make these. I made these in a nine by 13-inch cake pan when my girls were younger.
Here’s the deal: when this recipe first came out in our neighborhood about 50 years ago, it was made in a cake pan. Well, I made it that way for years.
Then, when my grandkids came along, I wanted all of them to get a “muscle.”
This recipe fluffs up and has muscles throughout the cake pan. Well, the muscles would soon disappear as the pancakes would cool down.

Popeye Pancakes Secret Trick
So, several years ago, I thought I would see if I could make these in a muffin tin so each child would get a muscle. Of course, the grandkids loved it. Now, this is the only way I make them.
This is our little secret when we make this excellent breakfast.
Kitchen Items You Need
- Blender
- Cake pan or muffin tin
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
Step One
Preheat the oven to (425°F) = (218°C) degrees. Grease the cake pan or muffin tin, whichever one you want to use.

Step Two
Assemble the four ingredients: milk, flour, melted butter, and eggs. A blender works best because we need the batter to be whipped up and fluffy. Today, I used my muffin tin. Pour the batter into the cake pan or muffin tin as shown. It’s similar to a pancake mix, but not quite the same.

Step Three
Place your pan in the oven and bake your Popeye pancakes at (425°F) = (218°C) degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. You will love the muscles that pop up, I promise. My grandkids love watching through the oven’s glass door as they bake.

Step Four
Place them on a plate to serve.

Step Five
You can serve these Popeye pancakes with butter, syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar, or jam.

What can I serve with these?
- Strawberries
- Raspberries

How do I store the unused Popeye pancakes?
Please store them in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
How long can I store these in the refrigerator after baking them?
To be safe, I would only store these for 3 days in the refrigerator because of the combination of eggs and milk. When in doubt, throw it out is my motto.
Can I cook this recipe in cast iron?
Yes, you can. You will bake it at (425°F) = (218°C) degrees for 20 minutes using a 10-12-inch skillet. Grease the pan just like any pan you would use.
