Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (31g)
2 teaspoons baking powder (12g)
½ teaspoon baking soda (4g)
½ teaspoon kosher salt (3g)
1 ½ cups milk (382ml)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (6g)
2 tablespoons flavorless oil (avocado, vegetable or canola oil all work) (26g)
Real maple syrup
Sweetened whipped cream
Fresh fruit
Chocolate chips
Sprinkles

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, measure out the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until incorporated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and oil. Whisk together with a fork until combined-you want to ensure that the egg is incorporated. Why? We do not want random egg whites in our pancakes.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes.
  • Set aside the batter, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the batter rests, heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready. I like to use a cookie scoop to measure my pancakes out into 2 tablespoon silver dollar sized ones, but you can use a larger measuring scoop if you'd rather larger pancakes.
  • When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. Repeat until all batter has been made into pancakes.
  • Make a stack of pancakes, and serve with warm maple syrup, softened butter and your favorite fruits.

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.

OLD FASHIONED FLUFFY PANCAKES

Easy, fluffy, and delicious! If you have extra batter, just cover it tightly and store in the fridge for the next day. Note: The amount of vegetable oil is really up to you and your pan. Use enough so your pancakes don't stick, but not so much that they are swimming in the oil! You could also use all butter (about a stick or so)...

Categories     Pancakes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
2 c buttermilk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 large eggs
butter for serving
maple syrup for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • 2. Whisk all the wet ingredients (not the serving butter or syrup) together in another bowl.
  • 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until it creates a nice batter consistency. Let this mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes to let it get its fluffiness.
  • 4. Heat up a large skillet over med-high heat and add some oil to cover the bottom of it. Once the pan is hot enough (test this by dropping a little water onto the pan to see if it sizzles), ladle about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the pan - making sure each pancake is separated.
  • 5. When the tops of the pancake batter get bubbly, about 2 minutes or so, flip and cook until the pancakes get lightly browned on the other side too.
  • 6. Serve these fluffy pancakes with butter and syrup and enjoy!

THE BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



The Best Buttermilk Pancakes image

We're transporting you to the old-fashioned diner for a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes. Our recipe has both baking powder for an airy and light interior and baking soda for that even golden-brown exterior. We love the tang of buttermilk and the richness of butter for an even cakier stack. This recipe is easy enough for a fast breakfast with the kids or doubled for a weekend brunch with friends.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing
Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a medium bowl until incorporated. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pancakes.
  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder will not work as well and your pancakes will be flat.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your pancakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax and will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned fluffy pancakes are a delicious and easy breakfast that the whole family will love. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of hot, fluffy pancakes that are perfect for any occasion.
