GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk in melted butter, egg, and milk until combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Pour batter into the hot skillet, about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the sides and center of each pancake. Flip and cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. Use an ice cream scooper to pick up mixture and drop on an oiled grill or iron skillet. Cook until 1 side browns. Then flip it over and press patty down. Cook other side until it browns. Cook on each side for 5 to 6 minutes.

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.

PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat egg until fluffy.
• Add milk and melted margarine.
• Add dry ingredients and mix well.
• Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.
• The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.
• Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
• When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.

ULTIMATE FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat egg.
• Stir in butter and milk.
• Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
• Stir into egg mixture.
• Lightly grease a griddle.
• Heat griddle and drop about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle.
• Spread lightly with a spoon.
• When bubbles begin to appear around outside edge and break, turn with a spatula and cook on other side.
• (I also lift edge a little with the spatula and peek under it to see how it's doing.) You will need to adjust your heat so they do not cook too fast and burn.
• For me, the temperature usually ends up somewhere between medium and medium-high.

CLASSIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together.
• Add the milk and oil and mix together carefully uder"just mixed" (if you mix too vigourously, the pancaked won't get fluffy!).
• Portion out about 3/4 to 1 cup of batter onto a hot, non-stick pan or a lightly oiled frying pan and cover with a lid.
• Let sit on medium heat until the center starts to bubble and becomes sturdy.
• Flip pancake over and cook other side until golden brown.
• Repeat process until the batter is gone.
• Garnish with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

HOMEMADE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, milk, egg, butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over low heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until top and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

OLD FASHIONED HOTCAKES/PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix butter and sugar together in a bowl. Mix in eggs and milk. Add flour and baking powder, stir until just blended. DON'T OVERMIX. (Once the flour and baking powder are mixed, stop stirring. Overmixing will result bad pancakes.) Add batter to a nonstick skillet or griddle that is on medium heat. I don't add any butter to my nonstick griddle. Don't lift the pancake with a spatula to check the other side. Watch the bubbles. When you can see bubbles all across the pancake, gently flip. After flipping, leave the pancake on the heat for about 3 minutes or until done. Don't over-flip your pancakes, either. Flip only once. Transfer to plate and cover cooked pancakes with aluminum foil until all cakes are done. Enjoy!
