Perfect Pancake Recipe Without Buttermilk

FLUFFY PANCAKE RECIPE WITHOUT BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Preheat an electric griddle or large skillet to medium heat. (I prefer a griddle.)
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. In a large mixing bowl mix the wet ingredients.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until there are no lumps. Make sure not to over mix.
• Add a little melted butter to the pre-heated griddle then add about 1/3 cup of batter.
• When the edges become dry and the top is bubbly flip the pancake and cook the other side for about a minute. It should be a nice golden brown.
• Let cool and freeze any leftovers. Re-heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds per pancake.

PERFECT PANCAKE RECIPE WITHOUT BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• In a medium bowl beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar (or malted milk) and whisk together.
• Pour the flour mixture in to the egg mixture and whisk gently a few times to combine. Stop as soon as no pockets of flour remain. Let batter rest a minimum of 10 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge before cooking.
• While the batter rests, pre heat a griddle or non stick pan over medium heat until warm. Grease with butter or flavorless oil and use a test drop of batter to see if the pan is ready. It should sizzle gently.
• Using a 1/4 cup of batter, make circles on the pan but don't mash or spread out the batter. It will spread as it cooks.
• Reduce heat to medium low and cook pancakes until the edges begin to try and bubbles forming on the surface begin to pop--about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Flip the pancakes and cook 1 to 2 more minutes or until the pancakes spring back when pressed in the center.
• Serve warm with maple syrup, butter and fruit.

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.

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.
