It seems so simple a dish Pancakes!  Inexpensive as well, I remember times as a child when money was tight my mother making them for dinner.  Of course as kids we LOVED IT!  The basic recipe is alright, but I am looking for something better!

  My next batch was a Buttermilk Pancake recipe, and I must say the flavor is much improved ( even using buttermilk powder which for conveince is always available and on hand with no worry about spoilage like the fresh buttermilk )

  The other change using this recipe is using less Baking Powder and adding Baking Soda, much like my Biscuit recipe.  So here is the recipe.

• 1 cup Flour
• 1 TBSP Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 TBSP Sugar
• 1/4 cup Buttermilk Powder
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Milk or Water
• 2 TBSP Melted Butter

  Combine flour, sugar, buttermilk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.  Slightly beat egg, add the milk, and whisk in melted butter.  Add to dry ingredients and blend until incorporated.  You are now ready to make you pancakes!

  I tried this recipe again with 2 TBSP sugar instead of 1 TBSP and thought they had a better flavor, but hey who doesn’t have a sweet tooth?

  I am going to continue to play with the ratios of differen’t ingredients until I find the ” PERFECT ” pancake!

After a recent yearning for pancakes, I am now on the quest for the ” perfect recipe”!

My review of my first recipe ended up being s0-so, tried a basic recipe but omitted the egg ( didn’t want to run to the store ).  They were thick and fluffy but very delicate and crumbly because I didn’t use any egg. 

We Chef’s love ratio’s…it’s the perfect way to make differing quantities and get great results!  So here is a basic pancake recipe, makes 4 large flapjacks to 8 mini ones.

• 1 cup Flour
• 2 TBSP Baking powder
• 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 TBSP Melted Butter

Combine all the dry ingredients together and mix.  Slightly beat the egg and then whisk in your milk.  Next whisk the melted butter into that.  Combine with dry ingredients and mix well…you are now ready to start cooking!

This recipe is probably more than enough for 2 average adults or…1 hungry teenager.

• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt

Combine above ingredients and mix well.  Add

• 3 eggs and mix well

Slowly stir in 2/3 cup of water and mix well.  Cook on a hot griddle with plenty oil untill brown.
