Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all purpose | plain flour, ((290 g | 10 oz))
1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, ((60g | 2 oz))
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk, ((440ml))
1/4 cup butter, ((60g | 2 oz))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  • Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
  • Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  • Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  • When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

LIGHT, FLUFFY AND RICH PANCAKES



Light, Fluffy and Rich Pancakes image

Basic pancakes are simple to throw together and are guaranteed to delight a crowd. But go one step further, separating the eggs and beating the whites, and you turn the ordinary pancake into something almost soufflé-like. These also contain ricotta, for extra richness that doesn't weigh the pancakes down.

Categories     breakfast, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
Dash salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Butter or grapeseed or other neutral oil as needed

Steps:

  • Beat together the ricotta or cottage cheese, sour cream or yogurt and egg yolks. Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in batter.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle or skillet and coat surface. When it is hot, add batter by the heaping tablespoon, making sure to include some egg white in each spoonful. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook second side. Serve immediately.

EASY FLUFFY PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH



Easy Fluffy Pancakes from Scratch image

These pancakes are light and fluffy and made entirely from scratch. They're not too sweet and are scented with vanilla, making them extra delicious. These are easy to adapt - try adding a handful of berries, nuts, or chocolate to the batter. *We call for unsalted butter in the recipe. You can use salted butter, but you may want to reduce the amount of salt used.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield Makes 4 servings, 2 pancakes each

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour, see tips below for how to measure flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder, see notes for substituting baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of fine sea or table salt, reduce to 1/4 teaspoon if sensitive to salt
1 ¼ cups (295 ml) milk, dairy or non-dairy
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and the salt in a medium bowl.
  • Warm milk in the microwave or on top of the stove until lukewarm, not hot. You should be able to keep your finger submerged for 10 seconds.
  • Whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. (By warming the milk slightly, the melted butter mixes into the milk instead of turning into small lumps).
  • Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat. The pan is ready if when you splatter a little water onto the pan surface, the water dances around the pan and eventually evaporates.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour milk mixture into the well and use a fork to stir until you no longer see clumps of flour. It is okay if the batter has small lumps - it is important not to over-mix the batter.
  • Lightly brush skillet with melted butter (this is optional if you have a high-quality non-stick pan). Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to spoon batter onto the skillet. Gently spread the batter into a 4-inch circle.
  • When edges look dry, and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancake, turn over. This takes about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook another 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve immediately with warm syrup, butter, and berries.

FLAX PANCAKES

Another treat for those of us on low carb, diabetic diets. These pancakes are delicious and suitable for the whole family. Note the nutritional information for this recipe; high in calcium, protein and magnesium!

Provided by Geema

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup whey protein powder
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon artificial sweetener

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl.
  • In another bowl, beat together the eggs, cream and vanilla, then pouring it into the bowl of dry ingredients.
  • Stir well and let sit for 3 minutes until it begins to bubble and thicken slightly. Using about 1/8 cup, spoon batter onto a hot, buttered griddle and let cook until some bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Carefully turn and cook the other side for just a minute.
  • Serve with your favorite syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ground flaxseed: For the best flavor and nutritional benefits, grind your own flaxseed just before using. Pre-ground flaxseed can quickly become rancid and lose its nutritional value.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few lumps.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking: This allows the flaxseed to absorb some of the liquid and makes the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will make them burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside. Medium heat will allow the pancakes to cook evenly throughout.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven or on a heating pad until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

These light and fluffy flax pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their high fiber content, flax pancakes can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the day.
