Categories main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups dry pancake mix (about 6 pancakes per 1 cup dry mix)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup pancake mix
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
Butter or nonstick cooking spray, for coating the skillet
Suggested toppings: maple syrup, butter, sliced banana, blueberries, honey.

Steps:

For the pancake mix: Put the oats in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until chopped. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest and pulse a few more times to combine. Add the oil and lemon juice and pulse to moisten the dry ingredients. Store in a resealable plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For the pancakes: Whisk together the pancake mix, milk and egg in a medium bowl until combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with a bit of butter or cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet; you will be able to make about 3 pancakes at a time. Cook until the edges are set and the tops are bubbly, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottoms are browned, another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

"INSTANT" PANCAKE MIX

Keep Alton Brown's "Instant" Pancake Mix in the cupboard and just add eggs, buttermilk and butter for easy pancakes any day of the week, from Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Yield 3 batches of pancakes (12 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (check expiration date first)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups "Instant" Pancake Mix, recipe above
1 stick butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups fresh fruit such as blueberries, if desired

Steps:

Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
Use the mix within 3 months.
Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

Fresh is Best: For the best results, use fresh buttermilk and large eggs that are at room temperature.
Combine Dry Ingredients First: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
Mix Wet Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, and eggs. This creates a smoother batter.
Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will result in tough pancakes.
Preheat the Griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Patience is essential here. The perfect temperature is the sizzling of pancake batter.
Cook Pancakes: Once heated, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Serve Immediately: Pancakes are best when served fresh off the griddle. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
