Homemade Pancake Recipe

By Ben Panny


Pancakes, occasionally known as flapjacks or hotcakes, are a well known breakfast dish within the U.S. They're not only tasty but fairly very simple to create once you get the hang of this homemade pancake recipe. This recipe creates a standard pancake (sometimes called a Scotch pancake) which is popular all through North America.

Homemade pancake recipe ingredients:

* 2 eggs * 1 cups milk * 3 tbsp butter (or vegetable oil) * 1 cups all purpose flour * 2 tsp baking powder * tsp salt * 1 tbsp sugar (optional) * 1 tsp of vanilla (or cinnamon or nutmeg)

For those who favor, you'll be able to use cinnamon or nutmeg in place of the vanilla. Quite a few pancake enthusiasts use a combination of two of the flavors. In that case utilize tsp per flavor or adjust to taste. These are just probably the most popular flavors. Once your comfy working with the homemade pancake recipe, you can experiment with the wide range of other fruits, nuts, and ingredients, used to spice up pancakes.

Homemade pancake recipe steps:

1. Blend the eggs, milk, and vanilla. You may work with a blender or food processor at this stage.

2. Melt the butter.

3. Add the dry ingredients to the egg blend.

4. Now add in the dissolved butter to the blend. Stir lightly. Don't utilize a blender or food processor.

5. Let the mixture sit while the griddle heats.

6. Heat the griddle (or frying pan) to 375 degrees.

While the batter sits, it'll thicken adequately. In case you over blend the mixture will turn out flat and tough as opposed to fluffy. Likewise, the griddle temperature is very important. If it is way too low, pancakes will cook slow and turn into dry and tough. If it's way too high, pancakes cook very fast and grow to be tough, chewy, and burned. If you're utilizing an open flame, set it to medium. If your stove or griddle features a pancake setting, use that rather than the temperature listed here.

You may test that the cooking surface is ready by sprinkling a small amount of water onto it with your fingers. If the water jumps around and sizzles, it's at the best temperature. Now oil the surface using a pat of butter or vegetable spray.

When the griddle is oiled and hot, slowly pour cup of batter for every single pancake from a ladle. This is a guideline that makes "average" sized pancakes. Feel free to experiment to find the size you prefer. Generally leave 2" more or less of space in between every pancake. If not sure, it's generally best to utilize less and after that add a little bit batter as the pancake cooks.

Allow the cakes to cook for around one minute. Air bubbles should be forming on the upper surface. Flip each pancake gently in the order you poured them and let that side cook for 1 minute. Many people choose a more golden pancake. In that case, flip the pancake once more and cook an additional 30 seconds on each side.

Now your delectable pancakes are ready to be enjoyed. Top with syrup! Or try fruit, peanut butter, or jelly.
