Best 6 All Purpose Breakfast Batter Recipes

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

ALL-PURPOSE BREAKFAST BATTER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients until just combined, with a few small lumps remaining. Use immediately in any of the variations listed below.

CLASSIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy); do not overmix or pancakes will be tough. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly on top and dry around edges. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.

BANANA PANCAKES I

Steps:

• Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
• Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

THE BEST ALL PURPOSE DEEP FRY BATTER

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients, except the extra flour, whisk together.
• Add beer and only mix lightly.
• DO NOT over mix. If there are flour lumps just squish with the back of a spoon.
• You want the mix to be blended but not overmixed as it will not 'puff up' when deep-frying.
• For fish,shrimp, and 'meaty or wet' items I usually towel dry them and dredge them in the additional flour.
• Then dip and cover in mixture. Let the excess drip off and when putting any item in the deep fryer -- use tongs.and dip whatever you are deep frying in the oil for about 10 seconds, then release.
• This prevents the food from sticking to the bottom of the fryer. (Took us a while to learn that technique).
• When it comes to fish or something long or big -- I just put the first inch or 2 in and let it bubble for a few seconds so that I know it won't sink to the bottom and stick. (I truly hated that with deep frying).

ALL-DAY BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the sausages and oil in a shallow roasting tin, then spread out in an even layer. Drape bacon rashers over the top and roast for 15-20 mins until both are starting to brown and sizzle.
• Move the bacon and sausages around so everything browns evenly. Scatter over the tomatoes and blob the mustard onto the sausages. Use a pair of tongs or a spoon to create 4 gaps for the eggs, then crack an egg into each gap. Put the tin back in the oven for 5-8 mins or until the egg whites are set and tomatoes softening.
