Sweet Milk Pancakes Recipes

FAVORITE SWEET MILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg well with a fork or whisk.
• Whisk in milk and oil
• Add sugar and salt; whisk until well combined.
• Sift flour and baking powder* together and add to milk mixture, stirring just untill smooth. (A few lumps are fine.).
• Heat a heavy griddle or flat skillet over medium heat. Coat lightly with oil. (Using a brush or a paper towel will avoid over-greasing.) Test the temperature with a few drops of water. They should dance around the pan. (You can also make a "test" 'cake, using a very small amount of batter, just to be sure.).
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot griddle. (I use a 1/3-cup dry measuring cup. A little batter will always stay behind in the cup.).
• As soon as the pancake is puffed up and starting to show bubbles, turn and brown the other side, making sure that it's browned on the bottom. (It's okay to peek.).
• Serve immediately or keep warm, covered, in a very low oven until ready to serve.
• *Note: If batter has to stand a long time, add a little extra baking powder.

SWEET MILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
• In another bowl beat the eggs well; add the milk and oil and beat well.
• Make a well in the dry ingredient and gradually stir in liquid ingredients, mixing till smooth.
• Heat skillet on high with 1-2 tablespoons cooking oil.
• Spoon batter into skillet to form 4" pancakes.
• Brown on both sides and serve with syrup.

CHURRO PANCAKES WITH SWEET MILK GLAZE

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. Combine the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients and the butter to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of butter. Add 1/3-cup scoops of batter to the skillet, allowing an inch of space in between each pancake, and cook until the bubbles rise to the surface and pop. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Add a thin layer of butter to the skillet before making each batch.
• For the cinnamon sugar: Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and 2 tablespoons buttermilk in a bowl and mix together until smooth. It should be thick but pourable; if it's not pourable, add additional buttermilk little by little to thin it out.
• Serve the pancakes with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of glaze! Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two.

SWEET CINNAMON CRISPY PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the roux: Cook the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until light golden brown. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for another 2 minutes.
• For the first dough: Mix the flour and boiling water together in a small bowl until a dough forms. Knead for a minute or two to make sure that everything comes together. Set aside.
• For the second dough: Meanwhile, pour the room temperature water into the bowl of a stand mixer and top with flour and salt. Mix with the dough hook on medium-low speed until dough starts to come together. While dough is in the beginning phase of mixing, add in the hot water dough in small chunks. Knead on medium-low speed until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a work surface (oiled so the dough does not stick) and knead by hand until smooth and one consistent temperature; be careful not to overwork. Wrap tightly in plastic and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• For rolling out: Divide dough into 65-gram portions and cover with plastic wrap. (The dough dries out very quickly before it is rolled out, so be sure to keep it covered if you are not working with it.)
• Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder in a bowl and set aside. Squeeze a tablespoon or so of oil onto a very clean marble, stone or metal countertop and spread around. Place one dough ball in the center of the oiled surface and sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar/cocoa mixture. Gently but using force, roll dough ball with a floured rolling pin until very thin and slightly translucent. The rolled dough will be oddly shaped and that is okay. If the dough rips, that's also ok--it's still usable. Once dough is rolled to translucent point, brush with a layer of roux.
• Working from the bottom end of the rolled dough (the end closest to your body), begin gently rolling dough up like a cigar. The end result will be a long "snake". Twist the snake into a coil. Smash the coil down with your palm and roll this into a 1/4-inch thick and 4-inch-wide pancake.
• Repeat until all your pancakes are complete. Store pancakes in the refrigerator between layers of parchment paper greased with oil until you're ready to cook.
• Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of oil and a cold pancake to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, before flipping and covering again. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Serve hot with maple syrup.

LOUISIANA SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan of boiling water, and cook until tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, and immediately immerse in cold water to loosen skins. Drain, remove skins, chop, and mash.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Mix mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk and butter in a separate medium bowl. Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter.
• Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle by heaping tablespoonfuls, and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.

PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to medium heat, according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter; stir together until well blended but do not stir out all of the small lumps. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough and rubbery.
• Pour oil on a paper towel and spread over the griddle to grease lightly. Test the griddle with a few drops of water; water should dance across the surface and not instantly steam and evaporate.
• Working in batches, drop 1/4 to 1/3 cupfuls batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until the sides start to shine and look stiff, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Repeat to make remaining pancakes.
