FLUFFY PANCAKES

Whipped egg whites make these pancakes light in texture and give them extra height.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg yolk, plus 3 egg whites
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, egg yolk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. In a separate large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Stir in one-third of the beaten egg whites, then gently fold in the rest until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake; cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes image

Pancakes are the hero of the breakfast table, and their very taste can even be described as "deeply breakfasty": eggy, salty, just this side of sweet. A little indulgent and yet still somehow appropriate first thing in the morning, those fluffy stacks with crisped edges, dripping with maple syrup, are everything you want, exactly when you want them. Here is how to get to them right every time, whether it's a lazy Sunday morning or a hurried weekday.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable, canola or coconut oil for the pan

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
  • Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk for a fluffy texture: Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda in the batter, creating carbon dioxide gas which results in a light and airy pancake. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are still some lumps visible.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender pancake.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for achieving evenly cooked pancakes with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Heat the griddle over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates almost immediately.
  • Cook the pancakes in batches: Don't overcrowd the griddle, as this will result in unevenly cooked pancakes. Cook the pancakes in batches, leaving enough space between each pancake.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Once you see bubbles forming around the edges of the pancakes and the surface is matte, it's time to flip them. Flipping the pancakes too early will result in them breaking.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can keep them warm in a preheated oven or on a warm plate until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Making fluffy pancakes is all about getting the right balance of ingredients and following the proper cooking techniques. By using buttermilk, not overmixing the batter, letting it rest, using a hot griddle, cooking the pancakes in batches, flipping them only once, and serving them immediately, you can create delicious, fluffy pancakes that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
