The Perfect Pancake 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

2 ts Baking powder

1 t Sugar

1 t Salt

1 1/2 c Flour

2 Eggs

1 1/2 c Milk

3 tb Melted vegetable shortening

-(margarine can be -substituted in a pinch)

Sift baking powder, sugar, salt into a bowl.
Add eggs, milk and
shortening (shortening can melted in microwave at high for
approximately 2.5 minutes).
Mix all ingredients and scrape bowl.
Heat fry pan or griddle to medium high.
(Lightly grease pan or
griddle with Pam or margarine.) Use 1/4 cup of batter for each
pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the uncooked surface or the
edges become dry.
Turn pancake until golden brown on underside and
serve.
Option: The amount of milk can be varied to change the
thickness of the pancakes.
However, please note that the batter
will rise during cooking so experiment by adding more milk as you
cook to the remaining batter on your first batch.
*********** The
Pancake: There is rarely anything more satisfying than good
pancakes, possibly because we rely so heavily on egg dishes for
breakfast.
Once you have your basic recipe almost anything can be
added for any variation under the sun.
Chopped apples, berries,
nuts, even chopped chocolate can grace this simple dish.
*********** The Problem: Most recipes call for a cooling period in
the fridge for a number of hours which forces you to pre)predict
what the family wants for the next day’s breakfast or to cut the
cooling time and produce pancakes the size and texture of bar
coasters.
Many run to Bisquick or Aunt Jemima for a commercial
solution.
Here is a batter which will produce better pancakes in
less time, with more fun, to more acclaim, at a greatly reduced
cost.

The Key To Good Pancakes 0

Making good pancakes depends on three
factors: mixing the batter to the right consistency, heating the
griddle properly and recognizing when to turn the cakes.
Whether
making pancake batter from scratch or from a packaged mix, stir it
just enough to moisten the dry ingredients.
The batter should
remain lumpy; overmixing makes pancakes tough.
For best results,
cover the batter and refrigerate one to two hours so the flour
expands and absorbs the moisture.
To cook the batter, preheat the
griddle over medium heat.
It’s ready when a few drops of cold water
sizzle and dance when sprinkled onto the surface.
If the water just
sits and boils, the griddle isn’t hot enough; if it evaporates
instantly, reduce the heat.
Brush the griddle lightly with oil
unless it is a non-stick surface or is well seasoned.
Other types
of fat – shortening, butter or margarine – may be used.
The easiest
way to check the consistency of the batter is to cook a trial
pancake.
Typically, 1/4 cup batter forms a pancake about five
inches in diameter.
Pouring the batter close to the griddle surface
helps to keep the pancake round, and using a measuring cup assures
uniform size.
Pancakes are ready to turn when bubbles form and
begin to break on the upper surface and the edges look dry.
Turn
with a spatula wide enough to accommodate the size of the pancake.
Normally, the first side needs to cook two to three minutes, but
the second side will cook in about half that time.
Turn the
pancakes only once.
The pancake should turn out golden-brown, light
and tender and cooked through in the center.
If the batter is too
thick, adjust with a little water; if too thin, add a little flour.
Pancakes are best served at once, either in a stack with syrup or
stuffed, rolled or glazed with a sauce and then placed under the
broiler.
