BEST EVER PANCAKE/WAFFLE BATTER



Best Ever Pancake/Waffle Batter image

This recipe is from my aunt and it is truly the best pancake/waffle batter that I've had. If using salted butter, cut the salt. For other variations, add grated apple with cinnamon, a mashed banana, blueberries, pecans or walnuts, chocolate chips, pumpkin, or whatever your imagination comes up with. May use flavored yogurt in place of plain yogurt.

Oat Pancake/ Waffle Batter image

This is a variation from a Bob's Red Mill recipe. Very hearty and healthy. I like serving these with berry sauce instead of maple syrup. My small children (under 3 years) also enjoy eating the pancakes cold as a snack.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKE OR WAFFLE BATTER



Sourdough Pancake or Waffle Batter image

If you have a sourdough starter, you will need to feed it to keep it alive. Many recipes call for doing so after discarding a cup or so of the starter you have, so as to maintain its equilibrium and prevent it from growing too large. This recipe takes advantage of that excess starter, using it as the base of a pancake or waffle batter that ferments overnight and yields a remarkably flavorful breakfast the next day, with minimal effort.

Categories     breakfast, pancakes, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup/240 grams sourdough starter "unfed"
1 cup/224 grams buttermilk
1 cup/120 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon/about 13 grams light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams kosher salt
1 teaspoon/6 grams baking soda

Steps:

  • Put the sourdough starter in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, flour and sugar, then stir to combine. Cover the bowl and allow it to rest overnight at room temperature.
  • When you are ready to cook, whisk the egg, melted butter or oil and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add the rested sponge. Add the salt and the baking soda to the batter and mix to combine.
  • Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron and cook until the waffle is brown and crisp, then repeat. Or use a small ladle to create pancakes on a preheated oiled pan or griddle, flipping them when they are well browned on the bottom. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC PANCAKES



Classic Pancakes image

This classic pancake recipe has appeared in every Betty Crocker cookbook since 1950. Pancakes are a breakfast tradition and are so easy to make. Our pancakes from scratch calls for regular milk, but we also give a variation to use buttermilk. Top either version with maple syrup or fresh fruit. Be sure to try our new twist, made with cornmeal, they're hearty and have a delicious buttery syrup on top.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

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.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Sunday Stash     Breakfast     Brunch     Pancake     Waffle     Crêpe     Butter     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Steps:

  • Place butter on a plate and freeze until very firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a food processor until combined. Add frozen butter and pulse until mixture resembles sand and no visible clumps of butter remain, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
  • Do Ahead: Mix can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Pancakes
  • To make a batch of 4 pancakes, whisk 1 cup mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup milk or 3/4 cup buttermilk in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Heat a griddle or large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium; brush with butter. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and pop and the underside is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing griddle with butter as needed.
  • Waffles
  • To make a batch of 4 small or 2 large waffles, separate 2 large eggs. Whisk egg yolks, 2 cups mix, and 1/2 cup milk or 3/4 cup buttermilk in a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter.
  • Heat a waffle iron until very hot; brush with butter. Working in batches and brushing iron with more butter as needed, pour batter onto iron (it should cover the entire surface; the amount of batter will vary according to manufacturer). Cook waffles until golden brown and cooked through, 3-7 minutes, depending on waffle iron.
  • Crepes
  • To make a batch of 4 crepes, whisk 2 eggs, 1 cup mix, and 1 cup milk in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on the surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen and carefully turn. Cook until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Old baking powder and baking soda can lose their potency, resulting in flat, dense pancakes or waffles.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the pancakes or waffles tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes or waffles.
  • Cook the pancakes or waffles over medium heat. High heat will cook the outside of the pancakes or waffles too quickly, leaving the inside raw.
  • Only flip the pancakes or waffles once. Flipping them too often can make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the pancakes or waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Great-Grandmother's Pancake Waffle Batter is a versatile recipe that can be used to make delicious pancakes or waffles. With a few simple tips, you can create light, fluffy pancakes or waffles that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast or brunch, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
