Nutrition Facts: calories 156 kcal, Carbohydrate 22 g, Protein 3 g, Fat 5 g, Saturated Fat 3 g, Cholesterol 27 mg, Sodium 152 mg, Sugar 6 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose | plain flour, ((290 g | 10 oz))
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, ((60g | 2 oz))
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, ((440ml))
  • 1/4 cup butter, ((60g | 2 oz))
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instruction:

  1. Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  2. Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that’s okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick — doesn’t pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly — fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
  3. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  5. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

Best Homemade Pancakes

Rise and shine to the fluffiest and crispiest pancakes you’ve ever tasted with this family-favorite homemade pancake recipe.

Prep: 15min

Total: 40min

Yield: 16 medium pancakes

Nutrition Facts: servingSize , calories 240, Fat 9 g, Carbohydrate 33 g, Protein 7 g, Saturated Fat 5 g, unSaturated Fat , Sugar 9 g, Fiber 1 g, Sodium 262 mg, Cholesterol 67 mg

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups milk, plus more if necessary
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for cooking
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking

Instruction:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until evenly combined.
  3. Pour the milk/egg mixture and the melted butter into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk.
  4. Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat; coat it lightly with vegetable oil and swirl in a thin pat of butter. Ladle or drop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake; cook until the first side is golden brown, or until the top surface bubbles and is dotted with holes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown. This happens quickly so peek after 30 seconds and watch carefully! Adjust the heat setting if necessary. Wipe the griddle clean with a paper towel between batches. Serve immediately with maple syrup.
  5. Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack together. Wrap the stack of pancakes tightly in aluminum foil or place inside a heavy-duty freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until hot.

Pancake Recipe – The Best I’ve Ever Made

best pancake recipe

I’ve finally found the Best Pancakes Ever. They are fluffy, crispy on the edges, tender in the middle, and completely stackable. The search is over!

Prep: 10min

Total: 20min

Yield: 18

Serving Size: 1 pancake

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 pancake, calories 147 kcal, Carbohydrate 18 g, Protein 4 g, Fat 7 g, Saturated Fat 4 g, Trans Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 35 mg, Sodium 381 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 4 g, unSaturated Fat 3 g

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, melted and cooled)
  • 2 & 1/2 cups flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda (see note)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (see note)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk (I used whole milk)
  • 2 eggs (separated)
  • bacon grease (for frying (butter works too))

Instruction:

  1. Heat your oven to 170 degrees F, sometimes called the “keep warm” setting.
  2. Get out 3 mixing bowls: large, medium, and small.
  3. Add the butter to the large bowl and microwave until it is melted. Set aside to cool a little bit.
  4. In the medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  5. Add the buttermilk and milk to the melted butter.
  6. Separate the eggs: add the whites to the small bowl and the yolks to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Whisk in the yolks.
  7. Use a small whisk of fork to beat the egg whites a little bit, just 20 seconds or so until they start getting a little bubbly. It will help them fold in evenly.
  8. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir roughly with a wooden spoon. Don’t overdo it! Just barely combine it. There should still be streaks for flour. See photos.
  9. Beat the egg whites a little then add them to the batter. Fold in gently. It’s okay if there are still streaks of egg white.
  10. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
  11. When it is hot, smear a little bacon grease over the griddle.
  12. Scoop the batter using a half cup measurement.
  13. When bubbles on top start to pop, flip the pancakes. They should be a nice golden brown.
  14. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden on both sides.
  15. Remove the pancakes to a cooking rack and keep warm in the oven that you turned on.
  16. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  17. Serve with lots of butter and syrup. And peanut butter. What, am I the only one??
