Easy Morning Pancakes Recipes

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

EXTRA-YUMMY FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until only a few lumps remain. Let the batter stand for 5 full minutes for extra fluffiness.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, and brush with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, slowly pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan. Cook until bottom is browned, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until the center of the pancake is set and the other side is browned, about 2 more minutes. Keep warm until serving.

EASY BASIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
• Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
• For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
• Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
• BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
• YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
• WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a medium frying pan or crêpe pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper.
• When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go.
• Serve with lemon wedges and caster sugar, or your favourite filling. Once cold, you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment, then wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.

FAST AND EASY PANCAKES

GOOD-MORNING PANCAKES

Steps:

• You can do this the night before, or just before cooking: combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• If doing the night before, cover and leave on the counter.
• You can also do this the night before, or just before cooking: in a small bowl, beat the eggs then stir in the milk and oil, and vanilla if using.
• If doing this the night before, cover and store in the fridge.
• When ready to cook, pour the liquid mixture (stir well again if taking it straight from the fridge) into the flour mixture; stir quickly with a fork until the ingredients are moistened but the batter is still lumpy.
• Lightly grease a frying pan with a lid, like an electric frying pan.
• Pour the batter on to the hot surface-- about a quarter of a cup for each pancake.
• Cover and cook until the surface loses its wet look and bubbles have formed.
• Flip the pancakes over and cook, uncovered, about two or three minutes longer, or until the underside is browned.
• Keep warm in a low oven until all pancakes are cooked.
• Makes approximately 24 pancakes; should serve four to six with leftovers; we love leftover pancakes at my house.
• Best served with warmed real maple syrup, although I am also a big fan of blueberry syrup.

SUNDAY MORNING PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the milk and the vinegar, and let stand for at least 5 minutes to "sour"
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg into the "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and whisk it together until the batter is smooth.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, and flip when bubbles are covering the surface of the pancake. Flip and cook the other side until it is golden.

MOCHI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk until incorporated.
• In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, 1¼ cup soy milk, oil and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Stir until you have a smooth batter. Add additional ¼ cup soy milk if needed to thin the batter.
• Drop a ¼ cup of batter into a greased and heated skillet.
• Cook the pancakes until small bubbles appear. Flip and continue to cook for another minute until cooked through.
• Repeat until all batter has been used. Batter makes 16 pancakes.
