Pancake Recipe From Scratch Food

PERFECT PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.
• Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
• Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
• Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
• Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.
• Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
• Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.
• Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a medium frying pan or crêpe pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper.
• When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go.
• Serve with lemon wedges and caster sugar, or your favourite filling. Once cold, you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment, then wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.

PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
• Beat the eggs and oil together in a 2 cup measuring cup. Add the milk, until it reaches the 2 cup level.
• Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until it is just mixed, there will be some lumps.
• * Do not over stir, you will have tough pancakes if you do!
• Preheat a frying pan for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Lightly oil the frying pan on medium to medium high heat. This may be trial and error, depending on your own stove. Ladle the batter onto the hot pan, turn over when most of the air bubbles have popped, or the bottom of the pancake is nicely browned. Brown the other side until the pancakes are cooked through.
• Variations: add in some blueberries, chocolate chips or raisins before cooking, or just sprinkle some over the pancakes before you turn them over.

HOMEMADE PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• For the pancake mix: Sift the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl then whisk thoroughly to combine. Store pancake mix in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
• To make pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
• Whisk the milk, butter, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl. Add 2 1/4 cups pancake mix and whisk vigorously to form a thick batter (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Alternatively, heat a nonstick electric griddle to medium.) Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a 4 1/2- to 5-inch round; repeat to make a second pancake. (If using a griddle, make as many pancakes as will fit on your griddle plate at one time.) Cook until the pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, 45 to 60 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until the undersides are golden and the batter is cooked through, 45 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes. Serve pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

"INSTANT" PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
• Use the mix within 3 months.
• Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
• Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
• Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
• Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
• Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
• Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.

PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat egg until fluffy.
• Add milk and melted margarine.
• Add dry ingredients and mix well.
• Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.
• The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.
• Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
• When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.

SIMPLE HOMEMADE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a whisk or large fork, mix in the buttermilk and egg until well combined and smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
• Heat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour pancake batter onto hot griddle. When pancake is golden brown, flip to cook other side. Keep warm in oven heated to 275 degrees.
• Variations: Blueberry and banana pancakes: Stir in 1 cup fresh berries into batter.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

PANCAKES

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.

FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine egg, milk and shortening; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes; cook until the second side is golden brown.

EASY BASIC PANCAKES

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.

THE BEST EVER PANCAKES

• In a large bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk remaining ingredients; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Preheat griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease griddle. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle; cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with toppings as desired.

MOM'S PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH -- SO SIMPLE!!

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients in large bowl, make a well in centre.
• Beat egg in measuring cup add milk, pour in well in centre of bowl.
• Mix all ingredients together with whisk.
• Heat half a teaspoon oil in frying pan, make sure oil is hot, pour a ladle full of batter into pan.
• Fry over med. heat flip when edges are dry and bubbles are coming through top, once flipped press cooked side so the batter squishes out, flip once more.
• Check the middle to make sure its cooked through.
• Repeat steps 4-6 until all batter is gone.
• Serve hot with syrup.

OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, measure out the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until incorporated.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and oil. Whisk together with a fork until combined-you want to ensure that the egg is incorporated. Why? We do not want random egg whites in our pancakes.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes.
• Set aside the batter, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
• While the batter rests, heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
• Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready. I like to use a cookie scoop to measure my pancakes out into 2 tablespoon silver dollar sized ones, but you can use a larger measuring scoop if you'd rather larger pancakes.
• When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. Repeat until all batter has been made into pancakes.
• Make a stack of pancakes, and serve with warm maple syrup, softened butter and your favorite fruits.

SIMPLE, FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, whisk to combine.
• Add egg, milk and vanilla. Whisk until lump free - no longer than 30 seconds.
• Heat a non stick skillet - use medium heat if you have a strong stove, medium high if you have a weak one. Add a tiny bit of butter (about 1/2 tsp) and swirl to melt. Use paper towel to mostly wipe the butter off (this is the trick to avoid a dodgy 1st pancake).
• Pour 1/4 cup batter into the middle of the fry pan (I use a slightly heaped ice cream scoop with lever, standard is 1/4 cup).
• Swirl pan lightly to spread or use the ice cream scoop edge to spread into 11cm / 4.5" circle (ruler is a must) (joking!).
• When bubbles rise to the surface (see video), flip and cook the other side until golden.
• Remove and keep warm in a low oven.
• Use more butter every 2 to 3 pancakes - depends how good your non stick coating is.
• Serve with toppings of choice!

CLASSIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy); do not overmix or pancakes will be tough. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly on top and dry around edges. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.

BASIC PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
• Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
• Start with 1 1/4 cups milk, adding up to another 1/4 cup if necessary, as you mix it with the flour.
• Add the two eggs, vanilla if using and oil, whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
• Heat a frying pan (if it is not non-stick, you will need to melt a bit of butter or oil in it) and when hot, pour in some pancake mix.
• How much depends on how experienced you are at flipping pancakes and how big you want them. We do about 1/4 cup a time for small, easy-to-flip pancakes but you could make this as much as 1/2 cup of pancake mix.
• If you are adding fruit, I like to sprinkle it on top of the pancake now.
• When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side, turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
• The first pancake is always a bit of a test so adjust the batter by adding more flour if you need to make it thicker or more milk if you want a thinner pancake. In either case, just add a few spoonfuls at a time until you get it right.
• Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. You may need to adjust the heat as pan tends to get hotter as you keep making pancakes.
• Keep the cooked pancakes covered with a tea towel, to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

EASY 3-INGREDIENT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs and milk together to combine. Add in the flour, and beat until the batter is smooth and lump free. Add in any option add-ins you like here.
• Heat a nonstick pan over low-medium heat with cooking oil spray. Wipe over excess; pour about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake. Cook pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the bases are golden brown. Flip and cook until golden; transfer to a warmed plate; repeat with remaining batter (spraying/greasing pan between ever second or third pancake if needed).
• Serve immediately with yoghurt, ice cream, whipped cream, maple syrup, berries, or any other toppings you like.

HOMEMADE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, milk, egg, butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over low heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until top and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

ULTIMATE FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat egg.
• Stir in butter and milk.
• Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
• Stir into egg mixture.
• Lightly grease a griddle.
• Heat griddle and drop about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle.
• Spread lightly with a spoon.
• When bubbles begin to appear around outside edge and break, turn with a spatula and cook on other side.
• (I also lift edge a little with the spatula and peek under it to see how it's doing.) You will need to adjust your heat so they do not cook too fast and burn.
• For me, the temperature usually ends up somewhere between medium and medium-high.

BEST FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
• Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
• Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
• Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
• When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

PANCAKES I

Steps:

• Preheat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, milk and oil. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture. Beat until smooth.
• Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

PANCAKES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Mix flour and baking powder together in a small bowl. Mix milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil together in a large bowl. Stir flour mixture into milk mixture until batter is smooth. Set aside to allow batter to thicken, about 1 minute.
• Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, add blueberries, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and batter.

EASY PANCAKES

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.
