It's super simple to flip these light-as-air cakes. Sprinkle them with berries, chocolate, or candy chips for a showy twist. TRY THIS... Fill a plastic bag with batter. Snip the corner and squeeze batter onto griddle.

Time 24m

Yield 8-10 4-inch pancakes, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons cooking oil
shortening
fruit-flavored syrup or powdered sugar, if you like
fresh strawberries or fresh blueberries, if you like

Steps:

  • Put flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Save until Step 3.
  • Crack the egg into another mixing bowl. Beat with a wire whisk or fork until yolk and white are mixed. Add buttermilk and oil to egg. Beat with the wire whisk until ingredients are well mixed.
  • Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir with the wooden spoon until dry ingredients are wet. (The batter should be somewhat lunpy, not smooth.).
  • Grease an unheated griddle or large skillet with the shortening. Put the griddle or large skillet on a burner. Turn heat to medium and let griddle or skillet get hot. (To check if the griddle or skillet is ready, carefully sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. The water will dance across the surface when the griddle is hot enough.).
  • For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the got griddle or skillet. Cook over medium heat until pancakes have slightly bubbly surfaces and the edges are slightly dry. (This will take about 2 minutes.).
  • Turn the pancake over with a pancake turner. Cook until bottoms are golden brown. (about 2 minutes more). Remove pancakes from griddle or skillet and put on a serving plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat until all the batter is used. Turn off burner. Remove griddle or skillet from the burner.
  • STIR IT IN: If plain flapjackes aren't your favorite, jazz 'em up by stirring 3/4 cup blueberries or raspberries or 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces, peanut butter-flavored pieces, butterscotch pieces, chopped peanuts, or miniature candy-coated semisweet chocolate pieces into the pancake batter. Candy-coated chocolate pieces will color the batter a bit.
