OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES



Old-Fashioned Pancakes image

This is the most basic recipe for a slightly thick pancake. It's just as easy to make a quick homemade batter as it is to open a box mix, which needs ingredients added to it anyway. And using organic ingredients seems to give the pancakes a cleaner and truer flavor.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Yield Makes 2 cups batter; 16 4-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for serving
Vegetable oil, for the griddle
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a heat-proof platter into a warm oven (at 200 degrees).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Whisk from the center, slowly incorporating the flour. Rest the batter for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or favorite griddle over medium-high heat. Swirl the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet (or use oil to coat the griddle) and immediately pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles rise to the surface, flip the pancakes, slightly reduce the heat, and cook until the bottoms are golden and the centers are cooked, about 1 minute. (Rarely does the first pancake work because it takes a bit of time to get in the groove with the heat, fat, and batter.)
  • As the pancakes come out of the skillet, place them on the warm platter in the oven until ready to serve. Serve a stack of 3 pancakes, topped with more butter and the maple syrup.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups flour, measured after sifting
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Resift flour with sugar, baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Combine melted butter, egg and yolk and whisk in milk. Preheat the griddle
  • With a few swift strokes fold the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Do not overmix; keep the batter lumpy so they will turn out light. Cook the pancakes on the griddle, using a scant 1/4 cup for each pancake. Turn them over when bubbles form over the entire surface of the pancake and cook for a few minutes on the other side. Serve hot with maple syrup. For dinner, serve hot with a saute of apples and raisins and along with either slices of bacon or topped with cottage or ricotta cheese.

Tips:

- Using whole wheat flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour can increase the nutritional value of your pancakes. - Adding mashed banana, grated apple, or berries to the batter can add natural sweetness and nutrients to your pancakes. - You can use almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk instead of regular milk to make your pancakes dairy-free. - If you want to make your pancakes gluten-free, you can use gluten-free flour or a combination of almond flour and oat flour. - To make your pancakes vegan, you can use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) instead of a regular egg. - You can cook your pancakes in a lightly greased pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side. - Serve your pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or yogurt.

Conclusion:

These healthier good old-fashioned pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are made with whole wheat flour, oat flour, and mashed banana, which makes them a good source of fiber, protein, and potassium. They are also dairy-free and can be made gluten-free or vegan. With just a few simple substitutions, you can enjoy a healthier version of your favorite classic breakfast food.
