Family Secret Pancakes Recipes

GRANDAD'S PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; make a 'well' in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon oil into the well. Mix until well moistened.
• Place a griddle over medium-high heat; sprinkle a few drops of water onto the griddle. If the droplets bounce, the griddle is ready; add 2 teaspoons oil.
• Spoon batter onto the griddle; cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

SECRET INGREDIENT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer for 1 minute; add beer, milk, oil, and vanilla extract and beat on low for 30 seconds. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drop 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle 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 batter.

FAMILY SECRET PANCAKES!

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, set aside.
• Crack and separate 2 eggs, reserve egg white and yolk in separate bowls.
• Add 2C milk and the vanilla to the reserved egg yolks. Whisk briefly to combine. Add mixture to dry ingredients until batter-like and well-mixed.
• Add milk for thinning until desired consistency for pancake density is achieved.
• Whisk egg-whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Fold this gently into batter, taking care not to over-mix. There will be lumps! This is the secret to the fluffiness of the pancake.
• Heat a frying pan on medium-low. Spray with non-stick of choice or melt small tab of butter to prevent sticking. Ladel out desired amount, less for smaller cakes. Cook approximately 2+ minutes, or until bubbles form and pop in the centre. Flip, and cook an additional minute, or until golden.
• Serve with butter and syrup. Or butter and peanut butter and syrup -- or strawberries and whipcream -- or add chocolate chips and go crazy with whatever else!
