MY MOTHER'S PANCAKES



My Mother's Pancakes image

This recipe comes from a hand-written addition to my mother's Home and Garden cookbook (you know the one with the red and white checkers that used to be given as wedding presents back in the 50's). Her book is older than I am. Anyway this is simply the best pancake recipe I've ever tried. I have tried a few, but always come back to this one.

MOM'S BEST PANCAKES



Mom's Best Pancakes image

My mom invented this pancake recipe because of a sensitivity to baking powder. Beaten egg whites provide the leavening. They are great for a Sunday morning breakfast

Provided by dhimmelman

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 12 large pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
2 cups skim milk
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites until stiff in a separate bowl. The stiffer you beat them, the fluffier the pancakes will be
  • In larger bowl, mix together egg yolks, flour, milk sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold in egg whites.
  • Place a small amount of oil in a hot frying pan. I like to spread the oil around using a silicone pastry brush. You can also use a non-stick cooking spray.
  • I use a large serving spoon to ladle the batter into the frying pan.
  • Cook on one side until bubbles start to burst.
  • Flip and cook for about one minute more.
  • Keep already cooked pancakes warm in a 200 degree oven.
  • Serve with your favourite syrup or topping.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to pancakes, and it also helps to make them light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few lumps.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will make them burn on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Pancakes are best when they're hot off the griddle.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips for making the best pancakes. With a little practice, you'll be able to make pancakes that are light, fluffy, and delicious. So next time you're in the mood for breakfast, give these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed.
