Pancake Tips and Recipes

By deebomb (Guest Post)

I have never had good luck storing left over pancake batter in the fridge. It separates and just doesn't taste very good when mixed and cooled. Instead I go ahead and finish cooking the batter and then heat them on the griddle.They can be too flimsy to put in the toaster.

the easiest was to make pancakes is:
100g of plain flour
250ml of milk
1 egg

Put the ingredients into a blender; put the egg in first, then half the milk, now all the flour and then the rest of the milk.

Heat the pan up and pour some oil into it and then pour it out again. pour some of the mixture into the pan and swish it around. then, you would cook the pancake until itis brown and then flip it over.

You can use a plastic bag with a hole in the corner to make pancake shapes

Want your griddle cakes to taste like the ones in the restaurant from a mix? Try adding the following:
-a scant handful of corn meal (the finely ground kind)
-a tsp. of pure vanilla extract
-one more egg than the mix calls for
-an extra Tbs. of oil/ butter/ shortening
-half and half instead of water or milk

Then beat all the liquids in a separate bowl, and add to dry ingredients that have been twice sifted. Stir only enough to moisten. Allow batter to rest 5- 10 minutes before using. Grease (or "season") your griddle only for the first batch (make sure your turner has a sharp edge). Finally, use an ice cream scoop (the kind that has a lever to scrape out the contents) to pour the batter onto the griddle for uniformity. Voila, restaurant style griddle cakes. (I worked food industry for years, and this is how they're made)

I suggest making the batter from scratch. Fannie Farmer has a good recipe titled Griddlecakes. Why buy a mix when the recipe is so easy, better and less expensive.

You may substitute club soda for water or milk for fluffy pancakes.....adding cinnamon and vanilla tastes great!

What I do ot make great tasting pancakes, is that I add some vanilla to my batter, this gives it a great taste.

Do not beat the pancake batter (will make them tough), make sure the griddle is lightly greased and hot and turn only once when golden brown--do not mash the pancake down after turning and your pancakes will be perfect.

When making pancakes, use a meat baster to squeeze the batter onto the griddle.
