Pancakes Small Batch Recipes

SMALL BATCH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, forming a well in the middle.
• Combine wet ingredients in a bowl.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy.
• Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Using a cookie or muffin scoop, pour batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle.
• Cook until bubbles form. Flip pancakes and finish cooking.

SMALL BATCH BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Use a whisk to mix until just combined. Spread the flour mixture onto the corners of the bowl essentially creating a well in the center.
• Crack an egg into the well and pour the buttermilk and melted butter on top of the egg. Using a rubber spatula break the egg yolk and stir to combine. DO NOT OVERMIX. A few small clumps are okay, you just want to work out the major flour pockets.
• Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, you can spray with cooking spray fit you'd like, I usually skip it and go straight with the batter. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet.
• Allow the pancakes to cook about 1-2 minutes per side or about 3-4 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the pancakes topped with pancake or maple syrup and a ton of fresh berries, granola or sliced almonds! YUMMY!

OLD-FASHIONED CORNMEAL PANCAKES (SMALL BATCH)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt. Set aside.
• In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and vinegar, stirring well; let sit for 5 minutes and stir again before adding to cornmeal mixture.
• In a small bowl or cup, beat egg and the water with a fork or small whisk. Melt butter. Set aside.
• Pour oil into a large cast iron or nonstick skillet; heat over medium/medium-high heat.
• While skillet is heating, add milk, egg mixture and melted butter to dry meal mixture; stir until well combined, but still has a few small lumps. Be careful not to over-mix (to avoid a tough corn cake.)
• Use a large spoon to drop batter onto hot skillet to form pancakes; fry until bubbles begin to appear on top, then flip to fry until pancake is cooked through and golden brown (about 30 seconds or so, depending on how hot your skillet is.)
• Remove to paper towel; repeat with remaining batter.
• Store leftovers in zipper bag at room temperature up to 3 days. Recipe may be doubled. You may substitute 1/2 cup buttermilk for the milk and vinegar.
