Best North Woods Pancakes Recipes

BEST QUICK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle to 375 degrees or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in bowl. Add egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
• Using a 2-ounce ladle, about 1/4 cup, pour pancake batter in pools two inches away from each other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, 1 minute.
• Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on heat-proof plate in oven.

THE BEST EVER PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk remaining ingredients; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Preheat griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease griddle. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle; cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with toppings as desired.

NORTH WOODS PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, mix together the sugar, milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla.
• Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
• Let set for about 5-10 minutes for the flour to absorb the milk mixture.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter onto a preheated griddle (mine is set at 325 degrees).
• Brown on both sides and serve hot with butter, syrup, fresh berries, or roll them up and eat plain like my son does.
• I sometimes add chocolate chips to each pancake individually, after pouring onto the griddle. This keeps the chips from all clumping at the bottom of the bowl or someone not getting any chips in their pancake.
