GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES



Good Old Fashioned Pancakes image

This is a great recipe that I found in my Grandma's recipe book. Judging from the weathered look of this recipe card, this was a family favorite.

SIMPLE, FLUFFY PANCAKES



Simple, Fluffy Pancakes image

Recipe video above. Simple, fluffy pancakes made from scratch, an essential that everyone should know! These are soft and fluffy, easy to make, and not too sweet so you can go wild with toppings. The key is getting the batter consistency right so it is easy to spread but doesn't spread too thinly so you get nice fluffy pancakes.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups / 300g plain / all purpose flour ((Note 1))
4 tsp baking powder ((Note 1))
1/4 cup / 55g white sugar ((caster / super fine is best but not essential))
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 3/4 cups / 435 ml cups milk ((any type, any fat %))
1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
4 tsp butter (, for cooking)

Steps:

  • Place flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, whisk to combine.
  • Add egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk until lump free - no longer than 30 seconds.
  • Heat a non stick skillet - use medium heat if you have a strong stove, medium high if you have a weak one. Add a tiny bit of butter (about 1/2 tsp) and swirl to melt. Use paper towel to mostly wipe the butter off (this is the trick to avoid a dodgy 1st pancake).
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter into the middle of the fry pan (I use a slightly heaped ice cream scoop with lever, standard is 1/4 cup).
  • Swirl pan lightly to spread or use the ice cream scoop edge to spread into 11cm / 4.5" circle (ruler is a must) (joking!).
  • When bubbles rise to the surface (see video), flip and cook the other side until golden.
  • Remove and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Use more butter every 2 to 3 pancakes - depends how good your non stick coating is.
  • Serve with toppings of choice!

This recipe is from King Arthur's All-Purpose Baking Book and my family's current favorite recipe. They have a spongy texture and soak in the syrup.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (for diner-style pancakes) or 1/4 cup instant malted milk powder (for diner-style pancakes)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minute at high speed of a mixer (I do this step in blender and mix the rest in bowl with a large whisk).
  • Stir in butter or oil.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together and gently, but quickly, mix into the egg and milk mixture.
  • Let the batter relax while griddle is heating (or overnight in refrigerator) The batter will thicken upon resting.
  • Grease and preheat griddle.
  • The griddle is ready if a drop of water will skitter across the surface, evaporating immediately.
  • Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter on the lightly greased griddle.
  • Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form and break (this is the time to add anything like berries, chocolate chips, etc), then turn the pancakes and cook the other side until brown (turning only once).
