EASY PANCAKES



Easy Pancakes image

Make every day delicious with this easy pancake recipe. It takes 20 minutes, requires only a handful of pantry staples, and results in tender, fluffy pancakes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 eggs
1½ to 2 cups milk
2 optional tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter, plus unmelted butter for cooking, or use a neutral oil like grapeseed or corn

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you make the batter.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs into 1½ cups of the milk, then stir in the 2 tablespoons cooled melted butter if you're using it. Gently stir this mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten the flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If the batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
  • Use a little butter or oil each time you add batter, unless your skillet is truly nonstick. When the butter foam subsides or the oil shimmers, ladle batter onto the griddle or skillet, making any size pancakes you like. Adjust the heat as necessary; usually, the first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. The idea is to brown the bottom in 2 to 4 minutes, without burning it. Flip when bubbles appear in the center of the pan-cakes and the bottoms are cooked; they won't hold together well until they're ready.
  • Cook until the second side is lightly browned, a couple more minutes, and serve or hold on an oven-proof plate in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Pancakes:

  • Use buttermilk or yogurt for a fluffy texture. Buttermilk or yogurt adds acidity to the batter, which helps to create a light and airy pancake. If you don't have buttermilk or yogurt on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few lumps.
  • Use a hot griddle or skillet. A hot griddle or skillet will help to create evenly cooked pancakes. If the griddle or skillet isn't hot enough, the pancakes will stick and won't cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the griddle or skillet. When cooking pancakes, it's important not to overcrowd the griddle or skillet. This will prevent the pancakes from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Pancakes should only be flipped once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Making pancakes from scratch is a fun and rewarding experience. By following the tips above, you can make the best pancakes ever. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious breakfast, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
