Small Batch Pancakes Recipes

SMALL BATCH BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Use a whisk to mix until just combined. Spread the flour mixture onto the corners of the bowl essentially creating a well in the center.
• Crack an egg into the well and pour the buttermilk and melted butter on top of the egg. Using a rubber spatula break the egg yolk and stir to combine. DO NOT OVERMIX. A few small clumps are okay, you just want to work out the major flour pockets.
• Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, you can spray with cooking spray fit you'd like, I usually skip it and go straight with the batter. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet.
• Allow the pancakes to cook about 1-2 minutes per side or about 3-4 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the pancakes topped with pancake or maple syrup and a ton of fresh berries, granola or sliced almonds! YUMMY!

HOW TO MAKE PANCAKES FOR ONE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, vanilla and melted butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. If the batter seems too thick, add more of the milk, a little at a time.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Ladle about 3/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake.
• Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
• Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, fruit or any other topping you desire.

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.

SMALL BATCH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, forming a well in the middle.
• Combine wet ingredients in a bowl.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy.
• Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Using a cookie or muffin scoop, pour batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle.
• Cook until bubbles form. Flip pancakes and finish cooking.

EVERYDAY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
• Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes.
• Cook until second side is lightly browned. Serve, or hold on an ovenproof plate in a 200-degree oven for up to 15 minutes.

PANCAKES-SMALL BATCH

Steps:

• Combine egg, milk, oil. Add to dry. Stir until moistened.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

PANCAKES FOR ONE

Steps:

• Separate the egg, putting the white and yolk in seperate bowls. Mix the egg yolk with the flour, baking powder and milk to make a smooth paste.
• Beat the egg white and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk (or by hand) until fluffy and holding its shape. Gently fold the egg white into the yolk mixture. Be extra careful not to knock any of the air out.
• Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan. Dollop a third of the mixture into the pan and cook on each side for 1-2 mins or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make three pancakes. Drizzle over some maple syrup or honey and serve with berries, if you like.
