My favorite food is pancakes. They are good anytime of the day not just for breakfast. My basic pancake recipe is a mix of eggs, baking powder, sugar, and flour. I mix them up in my food processor. The difference in your pancake recipe is what you add. I add blue berries to the batter but I like to process them in the food processor. I do not like lumps in my pancakes. But if you do that will work also.
You can use frozen blue berries. They are usually less expensive and simply let them defrost before adding them to the batter. You can add pumpkin to the batter for some nice autumn pancakes. Use of can of pumpkin. Do not use the can of pumpkin pie mix. The regular canned pumpkin works better.
I might want sweet potato pancakes. That is sweet potato flavored pancakes. These are not potato pancakes. That is a different recipe. You need sweet potato in the can. Add some to the batter and process. You can add a little of the liquid but not to much or you will make your batter too runny.
You can also place strawberries in the batter and process them so they are ground up. Strawberries are too large and will not cook well in the pancake unless they are processed in the batter.
Now I like to cook my pancakes on a griddle that I have brushed with a little cooking oil. I heat the griddle and then coat the surface with cooking oil using a pastry brush I paint the surface with oil. I then drop a few drops of batter on the griddle to make sure it is hot enough. If the drops start cooking I scrape them aside and start pouring the batter onto the griddle.
I pour about a five inch circle of batter. I turn them when the bubbles have formed but before they have all popped on the surface. If you like your pancakes more cooked you can wait until all the bubbles have popped. Flip the pancake and cook for about forty more seconds. Longer if you like your pancakes more cooked.
I place the pancake onto my plate and cover it with a pie tin. I start on my next. I like two pancakes on my plate. You want to use real maple syrup. I pour my syrup in a bowl and I set it on the stove top so it will get warm. I also place a piece of butter in the bowl so it will be melted into the syrup. If you read the grocery store pancake syrup you will find it is nothing but corn syrup.
Be fair to yourself and your pancakes. Get real maple syrup. You may have to to to a specialty store or shop on the internet. But do what you have to do to top your pancake recipe with real maple syrup. May you enjoy your next plate of pancakes. I think I will cook some up right now.
