Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
+1 and yeah.. Meaty? I'm confused. If you want Bacon Pancakes, just make Bacon Pancakes.

Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
When we do mix, we do Krusteaz - nothing comes close.
When we do from scratch, it is the Betty Crocker cookbook that we got when we were married 27+ years ago. We substitute 1/2 the flour for whole wheat and then double the amount of baking powder. Here it is as prescribed (you can do the changes I suggest above for a "meatier" pancake that is still fluffy) 1 egg 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Beat egg until fluffy (I use an electric beater for this whole process); beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in an additional 1/4 cup mild. Pre-heat griddle (to test griddle, sprinkle a couple drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right.) Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter from tip of a large spoon, a laddle, or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. To play with this, I've added apples diced to about 1/8" square and a tablespoon of cinnamon. Another is crushed pecans and touch of cinnamon and touch of nutmeg. Another is diced bananas and crushed walnuts. To do any of those, I do the batter first and then when it is ready, stir in the other ingredients. My sons like to add M&Ms. If you add them to the mix, the colors bleed a bit and make neat designs in the batter and thence in the pancakes. Tried gummi bears once when they were younger - not a good idea. Hope this helps. Peace of the Lord be with you. PS Went to the Betty Crocker website to get the recipe, there they use Biscuick - so very sad.

Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
Trick for even lighter, fluffier pancakes; separate the egg and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter just before frying.
You can also replace some of the flour with cornmeal or whole-wheat flour for a different taste and texture.

Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
My brother-in-law prides himself rightly on being the pancake and waffle king of the family.
When we get together in the Smokies every summer as a 4 family unit group, he has the floor when it comes to breakfast. From what I have seen, the mix you can read on a box or online is the same, its the treatment of the EGGS that makes the difference. How you beat them, how fluffy you make them before adding them to the batter seems to be the trick. It doesn't hurt his rep that he is in Western NY and brings the real deal maple syrup with him when he arrives. |

She would not stir the mix after that, she would just spoon it on to a griddle. Best pancakes ever.

Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
By meaty, I mean the opposite of fluffy. Probably a bad choice of wording. Maybe 'dense' would be better. I tried a recipe i found online this morning and they sucked.
You guys may be onto something with the eggs. So, I'll try folding the egg whites in next saturday. |

Re: Does anyone have a tried and true pancake recipe?
In my variation of this, I do use the yokes also, just separate them and fold in the stiffened whites. Also do this with waffles for much lighter texture.
