LOW FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients into medium bowl.
• Mix together wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients.
• Stir only until dry ingredients have disappeared.
• Do not over mix.
• If you find the mix is too liquid, add more flour.
• Cook on a hot griddle, flipping as needed.

FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, egg yolk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. In a separate large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Stir in one-third of the beaten egg whites, then gently fold in the rest until just combined (do not overmix).
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake; cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

THIN AND LACY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour, sugar and salt; whisk until the batter is smooth, with no lumps.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Add 1/4 cup batter; swirl the skillet to coat the bottom with a thin layer of the batter. Cook until set on top and lightly browned around the edge, about 1 1/2 minutes. Gently lift and flip the pancake with a rubber spatula; cook until just browned on the other side, about 15 more seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter (do not brush the skillet with more butter). Fold into quarters and serve with butter and syrup or jam.

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.

LOW-FAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor work bowl and mix well.
• Pour pancake batter to form pancakes in hot skillet coated with cooking spray. (On our electric stove, we set it to medium heat -- around 5 or 6) Brown lightly on both sides.
• Serve topped with butter spray or margarine, if desired, and maple syrup.
