Pancakes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups milk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
  • Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
  • Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  • Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.

GRANDMA CADDELL'S HOT CAKES



Grandma Caddell's Hot Cakes image

This recipe came from my grandmother, who made us hotcakes every Sunday morning. These are very lite and sweet enough to eat without syrup. She made these grapefruit-size. You could also put fruit on these and serve with no syrup as a desert. This is the only recipe our family has ever used. I made them for a friend once, and she liked them, but said they were sweet and tasted more like a crepe. Anyhow, they are quick and easy to make.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla (or more if you like alot of vanilla)
1 3/4 cups milk (more or less to make smooth consistency)

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients in a med. size bowl.
  • Then add enough milk and stir until smooth.
  • Add eggs.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Stir again.
  • If needed, add more milk. The batter should be a bit on the thin consistency side.
  • Let these set for about 5 min, and they will thicken a little.
  • Drop batter on either a ungreased griddle, or a non stick fry pan on medium heat. The first pancake is always the test to see if your pan is on the right heat. You can make these any size you want, but grapefruit size is the way grandma always made them.
  • This recipe can also be halved. And, these freeze up great! I freeze them for my family for a quick breakfast, or after school snack.

HOT MILK CAKE



Hot Milk Cake image

I originally found the comfortingly named "hot milk cake" in a collection of old New England recipes and have been using it ever since. Milk and butter give it a tender crumb with a sturdy texture and, unlike many traditional white cakes, which often can be dry, this hot milk cake is moist and flavorful. Hot milk cake is technically a sponge cake made with the addition of baking powder and a large amount of butter. The texture is stronger than most sponges-it stands up beautifully to buttercream-but still light and airy enough to absorb a syrup, without becoming gummy or grainy. That means you can flavor it in many different directions or serve it on its own with berries and whipped cream. Hot milk cake is often used as the base for wedding cakes. This is a challenging cake, in that there are a couple of steps you need to manage simultaneously. The key to success lies completely in temperature control, so it is crucial that you have an instant-read thermometer at the ready. Two separate mixtures that started hot are combined only when they have cooled to the same room temperature. Using a thermometer will help ensure the proper emulsification of the subtly special batter.

Yield Makes two 6 inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups (6 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Liberally butter two 6-by-3-inch cake pans and dust with flour. Tap out the excess flour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and set aside. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter and milk and heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and milk and microwave on high at 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter is melted. Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Set aside and let cool to slightly above room temperature; an instant-read thermometer should register between 80 and 85 degrees F. You want the milk and butter to remain incorporated, so whisk the mixture occasionally and vigorously while it is cooling and up until you add it to the batter. In the top pan of a double boiler or in a bowl for a bain-marie, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Fit the top pan or bowl over (but not touching) simmering water in the bottom pan or a saucepan and gently warm the mixture, stirring, just until the sugar is dissolved and the thermometer registers 110 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Pour the egg mixture through a medium-mesh sieve into the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and has cooled to slightly above room temperature (between 80 and 85 degrees F), about 10 minutes. (Note: The batter becomes more stable as the mixture cools; this is an important factor in creating a cake with good structure.) Stop the mixer. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated, preferably by hand, lifting and folding in from the bottom center. Or, use the mixer set on low and whisk just until incorporated, about 5 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again just briefly by hand or machine. The batter should be smooth. Check the milk mixture to make sure it is fully cooled, then slowly pour it into the batter, whisking on low speed. Stop mixing as soon as the batter is well blended and smooth. Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl again, and fold by hand a few times with the spatula. Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. When the cakes are cooled enough to handle the pans but still a tad warm to the touch, carefully run an offset spatula around the edges of the pans to loosen them, then invert the cakes onto the racks and remove the pans. Let cool for about 30 minutes longer. Wrap the cakes tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate to ensure that the interiors are completely cooled before decorating, at least 1 hour or for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in a second layer of plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your hot cakes.
  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Old baking powder and baking soda can cause your hot cakes to be flat and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your hot cakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your hot cakes more tender.
  • Cook your hot cakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside of your hot cakes will cook too quickly and the inside will be raw.
  • Flip your hot cakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough.
  • Serve your hot cakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Hot cakes are best when they are fresh and warm.

Conclusion:

Hot cakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make hot cakes that are light, fluffy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give hot cakes a try!
