FLANNEL CAKES

This is the world's best pancake recipe. It comes from the "American Woman's Cookbook", circa 1938, revised 1970. I learned to make these because my mother's pancakes sank like lead in your stomach. These float like air! I like to serve these with jam instead of syrup.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sifted flour

2 cups milk
1 tablespoon oil

  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

  • Fold egg whites into batter.
  • Be sure to FOLD and not STIR so that the egg whites retain as much air as possible.
  • Measure out by the 1/4 cupful onto a griddle or skillet over medium high heat.
  • When bubbles just start to"pop" in the batter and edges are set, flip over.
  • Pancake will puff up and rise as it cooks.
  • Cook until just golden brown.
  • If you are going to hold the pancakes in the oven until you serve them, undercook the first ones so that they continue to cook in the oven.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk for a tangy flavor: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to the pancakes, making them extra delicious. If you don't have buttermilk 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. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few small lumps.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Wait until the edges are dry and bubbles form on the surface before flipping.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings: Flannel cakes are delicious with butter and syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Flannel cakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these pancakes at home. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, flannel cakes are sure to become a new family favorite. .
