While on holiday (vacation) recently, my lad, who's a fussy little git, discovered breakfast pancakes. Now we can buy prepacked ones here & he'll eat em, & Madame Grumpy makes a superbe crepe. But I'd like to make some fresh, so what recipe do you use? Nothing outrageous just bog-standard stuff. Cheers. | ||

Ultimate Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pancakes Recipe Source: Bisquick 20 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 8 2 cups original Bisquick baking mix 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 eggs Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F;. grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear.) Stir all ingredients until blended. Pour by slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden. To keep warm, place in single layer on cookie sheet. Cover with aluminum foil, and place in 200°F oven up to 10 minutes. My kids love 'em - but they will eat the frozen mini's in a pinch. | ||

I just remembered you are in France. Let me know if you'd like a box of Bisquick and I'll send you one. (Don't know if it is available there- Last time I was in France was '00 for our honeymoon.) | ||

1 cup flour 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp baking powder 1-2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1-2 tbsp melted butter a touch of vanilla or a dash of cinnamon if you like Sift or mix dry ingredients with a whisk. Thoroughly stir egg(s) with a whisk. Stir buttermilk in with egg(s). Stir in melted butter and vanilla or cinnamon. Fold liquid ingredients into dry ingredients with a whisk. Don't overdo it. It's OK and even desirable to have the mix just a bit lumpy. Just avoid having unblended bits of powdery stuff in the mix. For best results let the mix set up in the fridge overnight. (I usually end up just mixing the stuff up in the AM and cooking it, it works just fine). Heat an iron skillet with a low-to medium temp. To test it sprinkle a few drops of water onto the heated skillet. The water should sizzle but not evaporate immediately. Cook the batter in the skillet until golden brown. The batter will begin to bubble. Flip the cake when the edge is dry or it begins to smoke a bit. I usually lift an edge and peek to avoid burning it. It's OK if you flip it a bit early as long as you don't try and lift it from the skillet before it's had to time to start to solidify. You can always flip it back over to get the desired color. You can add blueberries or whatever as the cake is cooking. Just drop the berries or nuts into the batter while the first side is cooking and add a little batter to cover them. You'll probably get better results if you adjust the temperature as the iron skillet gets hotter. I start at a setting of 3 and end up at about 2.5 on my electric stove. If you want to sit down and eat as a group you can put the cakes in an oven on an oven-safe plate at 150-200 degrees to keep them warm. This is also a good temp. for heating maple syrup. Just be sure to use pot-holders and have your guests use one when handling the glass syrup container until it cools down. | ||

Jonnycakes are much better than pancakes. Made with corn meal | ||

a couple mixes work fine, as long as you dont forget to throw the jalapeno's in before you bake them. | ||

Being over the pond, you might be able to find a crumpet mix. A crumpet is basically a slow cooked pancake that you don't flip, and then finish in the oven. From what I've tasted I have to believe the batter is very similar. BTW, how much does real maple syrup cost in Europe? | ||

My recipe is much like Bobr's. Except I just use self rising flour. I also use oil, instead of butter in the batter...it keeps it from sticking. You don't need to grease the pan. I add the vanilla to the buttermilk then the buttermilk/vanilla mixture to the eggs. Real vanilla has enough alcohol to curdle eggs. I heat strawberries/apples/blueberries and sugar to put on top. I think it's better than syrup. If you don't have fresh fruit, preserves in the microwave are good as well. | ||

A crepe recipe is almost identical to a pancake recipe. Just higher ratio of dry to wet ingredients. You can also make it up ahead of time and let the kiddies make their own. If you mix the batter too much, it will break the starch down and become rubber-like....but hey, if your house needs new roofing...  | ||

Krusteaz pancake mix. I'm a traditionalist, I prefer the Original or Buttermilk brand. No other ingredients needed except water. Let me know if you want a care package. Jack | ||

instead of crepes which would be great, we just use tortilla's with a mix of berry's, yogurt, banana's and some granola then heat it back up. my favorite breakfast since i try to eat healthy most of the time. | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
McDonalds Hotcakes and sausage!!! thats how i roll... oh don't forget the large Orange juice | ||
| S_palmer |
Krusteaz, use beer instead of water. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
You guys are great, tho some of you's a little twisted.  | ||
| Jackbequick |
"..use beer instead of water..." No! That is alcohol abuse! The heat cooks off the effective ingredient in the beer! Jack | ||
| Pammy |
Neil, you know that tortillas are typically made with lard don't ya? | ||
| Nevrenuf |
i use the whole wheat ones. besides, lately i don't really eat bread. might have the tortillas once every few weeks or better. no rice or potato's and on occasion might have whole wheat pasta. i eat healthy like 97% of the time. the wraps are a good breakfast though. | ||

We use Bisquick. However, even the poorest pancakes become extraordinary when covered with pure Vermont maple syrup. | ||

"use beer instead of water" I KNEW we could work beer into a pancakes topic  These, by the way, are words to live by. | ||

Speaking of syrup, this stuff is good: http://hickoryworks.homestead.com/PRODUCTS.html I read an article on it a couple of years ago in an airline magazine and ordered some. It's actually got something of a smokey flavor and works really well in barbeque sauces and similar, but it's good on pancakes, waffles, and biscuits (it's a Southern thing) too!

Yes a light beer works great!!!Try an a carbonated apple cider!!OR that frambwar(?) stuff | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Well we did some today using basic mixture & I have to say they weren't half bad, out of the lot that I made, I managed to get one before Madame & Boy wolfed the rest with chocolate sauce. Had mine with "Lyles Golden Syrup" mmmm Next time I'll try modding the recipe, I'll keep you posted. | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
My good man, Lyles is but a mere shadow of a true maple syrup. If America has added but one item to the global repertoire of cuisine, maple syrup is probably it. Inimitable, delectable, and necessary. It has been said that maple syrup is the bees' inspiration to make honey (actually I just said that). | ||

Sweet Potato pancakes and biscuits extraordinaire. | ||

Lyles does go exceptionally well with Irish steel-cut oatmeal, however. Got my kids hooked on it! Pancakes need maple syrup, though. So do breakfast sausage and bacon. Nothing better than a spicy, sage-y sausage patty dipped in real Maple syrup. Damn! Now I'm hungry! | ||
