Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
  • Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
  • For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
  • Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
  • BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
  • YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
  • WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Yield Makes nine 4-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle

Steps:

  • Heat griddle to 375 degrees or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in bowl. Add egg, milk, and 2 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 pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
  • Using a 2-ounce ladle, about 1/4 cup, pour pancake batter in pools two inches away from each other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, 1 minute.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on heat-proof plate in oven.

QUICK AND EASY PANCAKES



Quick and Easy Pancakes image

Golden little pancakes best served warm with your favourite toppings. They come out slightly thinner than typical pancakes; if you'd like them fluffy and thick, increase the flour and baking powder. A middle ground between crepes and pancakes; if you don't use any baking powder, they come out very similarly to crepes and you can use them as wraps for your favorite toppings, or with the baking powder, they're great as traditional flapjacks. Every pancake/waffle lover should have this recipe. If used for waffles, use 2 eggs, 6 tsp sugar, 1 1/3 cups milk, 1 1/3 cups flour, and 3/4 tsp of baking soda 2 1/4 tsp baking powder. Fast, and with only six ingredients, breakfast only gets so much easier. This is my adaptation of various recipes plus my own influence. We had a family recipe for 15 years, but this trumped even that! Hope you enjoy!

EASY PANCAKES



Easy Pancakes image

Make every day delicious with this easy pancake recipe. It takes 20 minutes, requires only a handful of pantry staples, and results in tender, fluffy pancakes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 eggs
1½ to 2 cups milk
2 optional tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter, plus unmelted butter for cooking, or use a neutral oil like grapeseed or corn

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you make the batter.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs into 1½ cups of the milk, then stir in the 2 tablespoons cooled melted butter if you're using it. Gently stir this mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten the flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If the batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
  • Use a little butter or oil each time you add batter, unless your skillet is truly nonstick. When the butter foam subsides or the oil shimmers, ladle batter onto the griddle or skillet, making any size pancakes you like. Adjust the heat as necessary; usually, the first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. The idea is to brown the bottom in 2 to 4 minutes, without burning it. Flip when bubbles appear in the center of the pan-cakes and the bottoms are cooked; they won't hold together well until they're ready.
  • Cook until the second side is lightly browned, a couple more minutes, and serve or hold on an oven-proof plate in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Use all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter for the basic pancake batter.
  • Mix the batter properly: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking helps the ingredients to fully hydrate and results in fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a hot greased griddle: The griddle should be hot enough to cook the pancakes evenly. If the griddle is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick. Grease the griddle with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat allows them to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: When bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes and the centers appear slightly wet, it's time to flip them. Avoid repeatedly flipping the pancakes as this can make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot and fresh off the griddle. You can serve them with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Making pancakes is a simple and enjoyable process that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can create delicious, fluffy pancakes that will be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you prefer classic pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, or a fun variation like blueberry pancakes or chocolate chip pancakes, there is a pancake recipe out there for everyone. So grab your ingredients, heat up your griddle, and get ready to enjoy a delicious stack of pancakes!
