Big Fluffy Pancakes And Sausage Recipes

FLUFFY AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
• Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm/½in thick.
• Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
• Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter, if you like.

BAKED PANCAKES WITH SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• Place sausages in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add milk and shortening; mix well. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan. Arrange sausages on top of the batter.
• Bake in preheated oven until pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cut into 10 pieces and serve hot with butter and syrup.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine milk with vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Whisk egg, butter and vanilla into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden, then flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side. Serve with butter and syrup or fruit and whipped cream.

BIG FLUFFY PANCAKES AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• For the sausages: Mix the pork, brown sugar, salt, rosemary, sage and thyme in a bowl until well combined. Shape into four 4-inch-wide and 1/4-inch-thick circular patties.
• For the big fluffy pancake mix: In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Continue whisking and gradually add the granulated sugar. Continue whisking until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the pancake mix and stir to combine. Carefully fold in the egg white mixture, taking care not to overmix.
• For the big fluffy pancakes and sausage: Preheat a large nonstick pan over low heat and add the butter.
• Spray 3-inch round (2-inch tall) ring molds with cooking spray. Place the ring molds in your preheated pan and use a ladle to fill the molds two-thirds of the way with the pancake mix. Place a cover over the pan and let the pancakes cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cover and use tongs and a rubber spatula to help flip the ring molds with the pancakes. Cover and continue cooking for about 7 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cook your sausage in a skillet over medium-low heat until the pork is fully cooked, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the ring molds with the pancakes using tongs and a rubber spatula. The pancakes should slide right out. Add the sausage underneath your pancakes for even more height. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
