Pancakes ! HELP !

[Mirac]

What’s your mamaw, mama, gmaw, nana, granny’s. Home brew pancake recipe?
I thought I was making pancakes for dinner tonight, turns out , I make a heck of a crepe !

Please help, need your super duper secret hand down for generations recipe.

 

[Jerzsubbie]

Slightly off topic, I finally figured out why my wife’s waffles always come out super dry. Apparently the waffle maker has to be around 500F, and we had it on 360F.
I thought it had to do with the mix we use, Kodiak Cakes. I made “Brinner” tonight and they were great!

 

[SimpleMan]

Mawmaw always used Pearl Milling Company, seriously…

 

[1911gobang]

Depending on your quantity desired….
Use Bisquick flour, instead of <X> amount water, do half milk half water, add 1 tsp vanilla. Mix with a whisk blender or whisk on a stick mixer…. Griddle should be 400 plus degrees….

 

[Sp00ks]

Wait, my "mamaw, mama, gmaw, nana, granny’s" did cook crepes. Us kids put syrup on them and called them thin pancakes which drove them crazy.

 

[Me.]

I don’t think I’ve ever had (or seen) a scratch-made pancake.

My moms recipe was the same as my wife’s is today.

This has been my go to recipe for several years. It has come out perfect every time. Note the quantities listed in the recipe will make a HUGE amount. Cut it to 1/3 for a perfect amount for 2 hungry people.

Buttermilk Pancakes

This foolproof buttermilk pancake recipe shows you how to make 12 deliciously light, fluffy, tender pancakes from scratch.

www.allrecipes.com

 

[Crankbait]

2 cups Bisquick
1-1/3 cup milk
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add fruit if you want


They always turn out nice and fluffy and are really good with Vermont pure maple syrup.

Oh and my daughters say they taste better if made into a pig

 

[Windini]

More flour, and a smidge more baking powder; mix enough to moisten dry ingredients thoroughly, but don't blend it into aerated soup.

Let the flour absorb the liquid in the first stage of cooking and the pancakes will rise more.

Don't flip back & forth. Wait till you see an even distribution of bubbles on the upside, then flip once.

The longer they sit (i.e. in the oven to stay warm), the more steam they'll let out and the flatter they'll become. Best to use an even heating pan large enough to make a serving at a time (2 or 3, say), then serve one person as soon as they're ready.

The stronger child will survive and thrive.

So this is about the closest clone recipe I've encountered to Cracker Barrel. This is NOT a simple basic recipe but you can half it for a jumbo single portion size (3 Lg pancakes) or standard two person portion ( 4 medium):

Interesting, first recipe I have seen calling for sour cream. Going to tag this one.

It's indeed an excellent recipe in my experience! I make the blueberry variation whenever I think ahead enough to have all the ingredients on hand. My standard order at Cracker Barrel has ALWAYS been the blueberry pancakes and to me this is an exact clone.

 

[Kingding]

These are the pancakes my parents always made. It's basically impossible to screw them up, and it scales up easily.

2 cups flour

1/2 Tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

5 Tbsp oil

1 tsp sugar

2 eggs

2 cups milk

Just mix the dry and the wet separately, then combine and whisk until there are no more lumps. Half the time I just do it all in one bowl and it still turns out perfectly!

Cook it over medium heat in an oiled pan. There will be air bubbles in the top of the batter as it cooks. They're ready to flip when they pop and slowly fill up again. Sorry it's not super descriptive, you just kind of go by feel after a while. It makes 8 decently sized ones.

 

[DogFather]

My standard:
2 Cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 cup water
2 eggs
Spoonful vanilla
Spoonful baking Powder

Bisquick is fancy, if ya got it use instead of flour

Hot fry pan with olive oil or bacon grease

 

[Jimbob78]

I usually make everything homemade, but pancakes, naw. This with milk instead of water and extra vanilla.

 

[B00ger]

Meh, I use boxed mix. The trick is to add milk instead of water, and then make the batter thick enough that it sticks to the spoon and drips slowly. Flip the pancakes as soon as the bubbles stop popping.

 

[Gray]

A buddy from college and the best man at my wedding… this is his dads grandmothers recipe.

So it’s like my great grandmother that I never knew I hads recipe.

WET STUFF FIRST

1 1/4) cup butter milk
(buying buttermilk just for this got old so I do 1 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup white vinegar and whisk it up first so it gets all buttermilk my while other things are happen in.

2) tbl sp cooking oil

1) egg

1/2 tbl sp vanilla extract (buy the good stuff, life’s short)

-which all that together while you get

DRY STUFF SECOND

1) cup flour
1) tbl sp granulated white sugar
2) tsp baking powder
1/2) tsp baking soda
1/2) tsp salt

Mix all that up real good.

THEN MIX IT ALL. LIGHTLY AS MENTIONED NO NEED FOR BLENDER.

COOK OVER MEDIUM HIGH HEAT ON GREASED PAN UNTIL OUTER BUBBLES DRY UP AND STOP FORMING. FLIP THEM AND WAIT 1/2 TIME AS FIRST SIDE.

4.9 reviews with 17,000 reviews. This is my go to recipe. Be sure to blend the ingredients well so you don’t get a pocket of baking soda or other raw ingredient in a single cake.

They are confused, just like with the definition of tea.

 

[Sleipnir]

Or you could buy the mix at Cracker Barrel. They make really good pancakes IMO.

My Nana used to buy the buckwheat version of this. Still my favorite.

 

[feistyFemale]

I grew up with Bisquick pancakes. Made them when the kids were young. (Sorry kids!)

A year ago I discovered this recipe: https://sugarspunrun.com/buttermilk-pancakes/
I like to buy buttermilk in smaller pint cartons so I changed the recipe from 2 1/4 cup buttermilk to 2 cup + 1/4 cup milk.
Leftover pancakes are stored in frig or freezer and reheated in the toaster oven. Yum!

 

[Bunsen]

I can confirm that the recipe I posted above is 100% awesome! Breakfast for dinner tonight! skillet/griddle temp of 355-360F if you one of those nifty infrared thermometer guns.

My brother has my mom's 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook. Pretty sure there's a recipe in there for these (or waffles) that called for lard.

There's a footnote in the recipe that says "for better flavor, use bacon grease instead of lard".

My wife buys some giant bag of buttermilk mix at Sam's club. I add vanilla extract.

Large griddle that I can make 6 pancakes on. I prefer real, unsalted butter and real maple syrup on mine

Just go buy Hungry Jack Buttermilk pancake mix. Add one egg, a teaspoon of vanilla and use milk instead of water to mix it up. Good as any recipe and very repeatable.

Mine is similar. But 1TBS baking powder. No baking soda.
When I make Bill Cosby Waffles (chocolate chip chocolate cake waffles) I use a little more four plus a 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

[RetiredUSNChief]

I haven't made any in ages. However, here are the important bits:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together and all the wet ingredients together BEFORE mixing the wet and dry together.

2. Don't over mix. Small lumps are to be desired, not eliminated.

3. Don't even THINK about starting to heat the griddle before you're done mixing the batter. Believe it or not, that few minutes that the batter rests while the griddle is heating up will really help.

It's been so long since I've done this that I don't remember all the heat details, and since I'm married to a redheaded wife monster who believes that gas stoves are evil, I'm even more handicapped. I don't like cooking on an electric range, but what can you do? It should be a medium heat...adjust as you see fit.

The temperature should be hot enough to pleasantly brown the pancake on its first side at the point where it's ready to flip. You should be able to judge this by the amount of bubbles in the pancake, especially around the edge of the pancake which show batter being cooked and the bubbles having popped some. Once you get the hang of this, you'll know exactly when to flip the pancake and finish it off.

Now, I like using bacon grease on my griddle/skillet for pancakes. Y'all use whatever you want.


OH YEAH...have the toppings ready to go BEFORE you start mixing things up. If you want soft, easy to melt butter, and hot syrup, be sure that's ready to go first. This way when the pancakes are served, everything is perfect for eating right away.
