Yield Makes nine 6-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle
1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
  • Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
  • Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. Scatter with berries, if using. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve with Cranberry Syrup.

PERFECT PANCAKE RECIPE WITHOUT BUTTERMILK



Perfect pancake recipe without buttermilk image

Provided by Rachel Ballard

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs (large)
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (substitute 1/4 cup malted milk powder for a more "diner style" pancake )

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar (or malted milk) and whisk together.
  • Pour the flour mixture in to the egg mixture and whisk gently a few times to combine. Stop as soon as no pockets of flour remain. Let batter rest a minimum of 10 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge before cooking.
  • While the batter rests, pre heat a griddle or non stick pan over medium heat until warm. Grease with butter or flavorless oil and use a test drop of batter to see if the pan is ready. It should sizzle gently.
  • Using a 1/4 cup of batter, make circles on the pan but don't mash or spread out the batter. It will spread as it cooks.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and cook pancakes until the edges begin to try and bubbles forming on the surface begin to pop--about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook 1 to 2 more minutes or until the pancakes spring back when pressed in the center.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup, butter and fruit.

Buttermilk pancakes with maple bacon image

Thick, fluffy pancakes served the American way with glazed bacon and maple syrup. This easy buttermilk pancake recipe will save your brunch.

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Brunch

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

350g/12oz self-raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar
200ml/7fl oz buttermilk
400ml/14fl oz semi-skimmed milk
2 free-range eggs
85g/3oz unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for frying
12 rashers smoked streaky bacon
50ml/2fl oz maple syrup

Steps:

  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the buttermilk, milk, eggs and butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Do not overbeat - stir just to combine.
  • Melt a small knob of butter in a large frying pan. Using a ladle, pour some batter into the pan to make a pancake. Depending on the size of the pan, you may be able to make more than one pancake at a time, or if you are confident you can use two pans at the same time.
  • Cook the pancakes for about a minute, or until the underside is golden brown and the top is bubbling. Turn them over using a palette knife or fish slice and cook for another minute. Keep the pancakes warm in a very low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-hot. Lay the bacon on a grill tray lined with foil and brush with some of the maple syrup. Grill until one side of the bacon is crisp. Turn over and brush the other side with maple syrup and cook until crisp.
  • Serve the pancakes stacked on top of each other, topped with grilled bacon and drizzled with maple syrup.

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 buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles start to form on the surface.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a stack of fluffy, golden brown pancakes that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give buttermilk pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
