Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, water, salt, and pepper until completely combined.

Drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet using a spoon. Top each biscuit with cheese, if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Serve and enjoy!
