Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cold milk
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1-1/4 cup sifted flour
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp granulated sugar (I use part brown sugar, part white)
1/2 tsp salt (this intensifies the taste of the sugar)
1 egg
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cardamom or 1/2 cinnamon or 1/2 vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp melted butter + 2 Tbsp melted butter for frying (I use clarified butter)
Berries to stuff (optional)
NOTE: You will also need one or two wooden skewers or wooden toothpicks to turn the pancake puffs. Please do not use metallic items on your pan to avoid scratches on it. Puffs will start sticking to the pan if the pan gets scratched. You can reuse the same wooden skewers over and over again.

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl mix milk with vinegar and set aside as it turns into something like a liquid buttermilk.
  • In a small bowl put the sifted flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and cardamom (or whichever spice you chose from above). Mix all the dry ingredients well.
  • In a small bowl beat the egg well until frothy. Add all the liquid ingredients to the milk: melted butter, egg, milk and give it a whisk for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the liquid batter and on the low speed of your electric mixer whisk everything until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • This time around I stuffed my pancakes with blueberries. A little goes a long way. Do not over-stuff the aebleskiver, as the inside will be too moist and will not cook through. Make sure the fruits you chose are not very large. Cut them in small pieces if they appear bigger.
  • If you are using a cast iron pan, make sure you season it before placing the pancakes in it. Heat the pan on medium low heat for about 5-8 minutes. The second part of the melted butter is needed to brush the semi-circles of the pan. Again, if you are using a cast iron pan, be a little more generous while brushing.
  • Add about a Tbsp of the batter to the individual slots of the pan. Please make sure not to top it off and keep the slots filled at 2/3. Remember that you are also going to add fruits, which will add a little more volume. About now you are safe to increase the heat by just a little bit.
  • Add the blueberries or berries of your choice at 3 pieces in each pancake.
  • Now comes the fun part. After about a minute on one side use, the wooden skewer to latch on the inner corner (uncooked side) of the pancake and turn the pancake 90 degrees to its side. Give it another 40 seconds here and complete the full circle. In about 30-40 seconds you can give it one more roll to give it enough time to cook through. Keep using the wooden skewer and you are safe to poke the pancakes, too.
  • I serve it with a coolie or a fruit jam. There are many options to spruce up these aebleskivers. Honey, pancake syrup, sour cream are some of the options. Enjoy and let me know how yours came out!

GERMAN PUFF PANCAKES

Puffy oven-baked buttery pancake. It's SO easy! You may never make traditional pancakes again. Pour your favorite syrup over it, or just dust powdered sugar on top. There's not much need to add more butter because it's already baked onto the top and forms a delicious salty and buttery crust.

Vanilla Dutch Baby (Puffed Pancake) image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk, heated 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES



Good Old Fashioned Pancakes image

This is a great recipe that I found in my Grandma's recipe book. Judging from the weathered look of this recipe card, this was a family favorite.

Provided by dakota kelly

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Pancake Recipes

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk or yogurt for a tangy flavor and moist texture. If you don't have buttermilk or yogurt, 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 will make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and there are no more lumps.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax and make the pancakes more tender.
  • Use a hot griddle or frying pan. If the griddle or frying pan is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick and will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. If you flip the pancakes too often, they will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Pancakes are best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Pancake puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these fluffy and delicious pancakes that will be sure to please everyone at the table.
