This recipe comes from an old old Fanny Farmer cookbook that I bought at a yard sale. An inscription inside was dated Dec. 25, 1945. These pancakes, or griddlecakes if you will, are the bomb and the only recipe I will use. Do give it a try...if you like a pancake that has lots of body then you won't be dissapointed.

THE FANNY FARMER DARK FRUITCAKE

This famous fruitcake recipe by Fanny Farmer goes back years, I made it recently using the brandied fruit cake option as stated on the bottom of the recipe and I strongly recommend to use that method as the brandy will strongly intensify the flavor and preserve the cake, this fruit cake is wonderful and I plan on making it again.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh buttermilk and eggs will give your pancakes a better flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax, which will also make the pancakes more tender.
Use a well-seasoned griddle or frying pan. A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Flip the pancakes once they are golden brown on the bottom and bubbles begin to form around the edges.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Fannie Farmer's griddlecakes are a classic breakfast recipe that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying breakfast that will start your day off right.
