OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES



Old-Fashioned Pancakes image

This is the most basic recipe for a slightly thick pancake. It's just as easy to make a quick homemade batter as it is to open a box mix, which needs ingredients added to it anyway. And using organic ingredients seems to give the pancakes a cleaner and truer flavor.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Yield Makes 2 cups batter; 16 4-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for serving
Vegetable oil, for the griddle
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a heat-proof platter into a warm oven (at 200 degrees).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Whisk from the center, slowly incorporating the flour. Rest the batter for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or favorite griddle over medium-high heat. Swirl the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet (or use oil to coat the griddle) and immediately pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles rise to the surface, flip the pancakes, slightly reduce the heat, and cook until the bottoms are golden and the centers are cooked, about 1 minute. (Rarely does the first pancake work because it takes a bit of time to get in the groove with the heat, fat, and batter.)
  • As the pancakes come out of the skillet, place them on the warm platter in the oven until ready to serve. Serve a stack of 3 pancakes, topped with more butter and the maple syrup.

This is my mother's and grandmother's recipe from Western Tennessee. I have never found anything that comes close to the flavor of these pancakes. Add small berries for a different flavor boost. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Provided by Tim Wong

Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle to medium heat, according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter; stir together until well blended but do not stir out all of the small lumps. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough and rubbery.
  • Pour oil on a paper towel and spread over the griddle to grease lightly. Test the griddle with a few drops of water; water should dance across the surface and not instantly steam and evaporate.
  • Working in batches, drop 1/4 to 1/3 cupfuls batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until the sides start to shine and look stiff, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Repeat to make remaining pancakes.

OLD FASHIONED FLUFFY PANCAKES



Old Fashioned Fluffy Pancakes image

Easy, fluffy, and delicious! If you have extra batter, just cover it tightly and store in the fridge for the next day. Note: The amount of vegetable oil is really up to you and your pan. Use enough so your pancakes don't stick, but not so much that they are swimming in the oil! You could also use all butter (about a stick or so)...

Provided by Kathy D

Categories     Pancakes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
2 c buttermilk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 large eggs
butter for serving
maple syrup for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • 2. Whisk all the wet ingredients (not the serving butter or syrup) together in another bowl.
  • 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until it creates a nice batter consistency. Let this mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes to let it get its fluffiness.
  • 4. Heat up a large skillet over med-high heat and add some oil to cover the bottom of it. Once the pan is hot enough (test this by dropping a little water onto the pan to see if it sizzles), ladle about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the pan - making sure each pancake is separated.
  • 5. When the tops of the pancake batter get bubbly, about 2 minutes or so, flip and cook until the pancakes get lightly browned on the other side too.
  • 6. Serve these fluffy pancakes with butter and syrup and enjoy!

###
Tips
  • Buttermilk can be easily made at home 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 can result in tough pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help to develop the flavor and make the pancakes more tender.
  • Use a well-seasoned griddle or frying pan over medium heat. A nonstick pan is not recommended for pancakes, as it can prevent them from getting a crispy exterior.
  • Pour ¼ cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not flip the pancakes too early, or they will break.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
###
Conclusion

The key to making great old-fashioned pancakes is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and to take your time. Don't rush the process, and enjoy the experience of making and eating a delicious breakfast with your loved ones. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pancakes every time.
