Gale Gands Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the butter and milk. Place over low heat just until warm and the butter is melted. Let cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Whisk in the milk mixture. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until barely blended. Add the chocolate chips and mix.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of butter and melt until bubbly. Ladle 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface and cook until bubbly on the top and golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 30 seconds more. Repeat until all the batter is used up. Serve hot.

GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
• Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).

GALE GAND'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda with a fork.
• In another bowl, beat the egg thoroughly, then add buttermilk, whole milk and melted butter; beat to combine.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon. DO NOT OVERMIX; it's fine if it's lumpy.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tsp butter. (You may need to turn down the heat after the first few pancakes to prevent overbrowning; you may need to add more butter from time to time if the pan gets dry.).
• Using a small ladle or a pitcher with a pour spout, pour about 3 tbsp of batter for each pancake, leaving space for them to spread out. If using blueberries, scatter a few onto each cake right after pouring. When the top of the pancake no longer looks wet, the holes are just barely set, and the underside is golden (about 3 minutes), flip the pancake and cook until the underside is golden, about 2 minutes more.
• If not serving immediately, keep warm in a 200°F oven until all the pancakes are cooked and ready to serve, no more than 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.
• Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

GALE GAND'S ORANGE VANILLA PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Slice or peel the rind off of the orange and cut into large strips. Set aside.
• Pour water into a small bowl. Slowly sprinkle gelatin over the water, allowing it to sit on top of the water. Do not stir the gelatin into the water. Let sit for about 10 minutes. The gelatin will slowly absorb the water.
• Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Add vanilla bean and orange rind. Bring to a simmer. Remove milk from heat as soon as it begins to a simmer.
• Add gelatin mixture while stirring constantly. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.* *
• Add SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and stir. Pour the panna cotta through a fine meshed strainer into a pitcher with a spout. Pour into 8 ramekins or dessert cups.
• Chill panna cotta, uncovered, for two hours.
