49er Style Pancake Recipes

THE BEST RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Stir ricotta cheese, milk, and egg yolks together in a bowl until combined.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; stir in ricotta mixture.
• Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy; fold into ricotta mixture.
• Oil preheated griddle with about 1 teaspoon canola oil; pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until evenly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; turn and cook until evenly golden on other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling griddle between batches.

OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place a heat-proof platter into a warm oven (at 200 degrees).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Whisk from the center, slowly incorporating the flour. Rest the batter for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or favorite griddle over medium-high heat. Swirl the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet (or use oil to coat the griddle) and immediately pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles rise to the surface, flip the pancakes, slightly reduce the heat, and cook until the bottoms are golden and the centers are cooked, about 1 minute. (Rarely does the first pancake work because it takes a bit of time to get in the groove with the heat, fat, and batter.)
• As the pancakes come out of the skillet, place them on the warm platter in the oven until ready to serve. Serve a stack of 3 pancakes, topped with more butter and the maple syrup.

PERFECT PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.
• Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
• Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
• Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
• Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.
• Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
• Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.
• Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.

49ER FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• THE NIGHT BEFORE your pancake meal, in small saucepan warm the milk to 110F (it should be baby-bottle warm), remove from heat.
• Dissolve in yeast.
• Let mixture stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine salt, sugar, and flour in a large mixing bowl.
• Add melted butter to milk mixture.
• Mix wet ingredients into dry and whisk until fully combined.
• Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour , then whisk down to deflate.
• Let stand overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
• In the morning, deflate again, whisk in beaten eggs and vanilla.
• Batter should be runny and spread easily on the griddle.
• Use a 12 inch skillet on medium high heat.
• Make one large flapjack at a time by lifting the skillet off the heat while you pour ½ cup of batter, tilt the pan to cover the bottom surface completely.
• Do not turn until all bubbles pop and the top is basically dry.
• This will ensure a uniform golden brown color and correct texture.
• Serve on a pre-warmed plate in stacks of 2 or 3, they cool off very fast.
• Serves 3-4.
• Tangy, soft and chewy.
• Store the batter one more day for a tangier taste.
