BASIC PANCAKES



Basic Pancakes image

I've always made my pancakes pretty much from scratch, and this is the recipe I've been using for many years.

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

Categories     Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
2 cups cups buttermilk (see *note below)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat griddle to medium-high heat (400º F). (I use a non-stick Teflon frying pan; spayed with Pam).
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, stir in buttermilk and oil. Add remaining ingredients; beat (or stir) just until large lumps disappear.
  • 3. Lightly grease heated griddle. Pour batter, (about 1/4 cup at a time) onto hot griddle. Bake until bubbles form, and edges start to dry; turn and bake other side.
  • 4. Serve pancakes with either pure maple syrup, store-bought pancake syrup, or with your favorite jam or preserves.
  • 5. *Note: If you don't have buttermilk, then add either 2 tablespoons of 5% white vinegar, or 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice (from concentrate), into a 2 cup measuring bowl (or measuring cup). Fill the measuring bowl or cup up to the 2 cup mark with milk. (I use 2% milk). Let set for 5 minutes before using.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk or yogurt: This will make your pancakes light and fluffy. 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 milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help your pancakes cook evenly. If your skillet is not hot enough, your pancakes will be soggy.
  • Flip your pancakes when bubbles form around the edges: This is a sign that the pancakes are cooked on the bottom and ready to be flipped.
  • Serve your pancakes with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or even bacon are all great options.

Conclusion:

Pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, reach for a stack of pancakes.
