I use either Aunt Jemima's Complete buttermilk pancake mix or the pancake batter recipe in the old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.  I also love the extra rich waffle batter recipe in the old BHG cookbook.  I love mine with real butter and Karo green lable syrup!   I also love the pancakes at IHOP and the waffles at Waffle House.

I like my Pancakes waffle style.

I will use pancake mix and make pancakes and I just don't like em very much. However if I put the same batter in a waffle maker, it takes 100X better. Weird, but I just love my waffles!

I think this thread might be headed in a briefs/boxers direction, so I'll hop on board to state I have always preferred waffles over pancakes.  They are more trouble and require specific equipment, but it's well worth it to me for the light and crispy results.

365 Degrees

I heat the Sunbeam electric skillet to 365 degrees.  In a bowl I place flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and add an equal portion of buttermilk to flour.  I stir them by hand just to combine leaving a few lumps. (Laundress thought I used a mixer on pancake and waffle batter while I only whip egg whites for waffle batter with a mixer, never the batter)  When the fry pan is ready I use a pastry brush to leave a light coating of fat just under the circular shape of the pancake.  The batter is dropped from a spoon and allowed to settle on its own.  When bubbles form on the uncooked surface and begin to pop its time to flip.  I use real butter and any brand of fake maple syrup.  I don't the real stuff as well.  Pancakes are best served straight from the pan or griddle without any wait or hold time.

In the pan are Mexican pancakes called buuelo and served with pear compote and Dolce le Leche.

I only ever found one satisfactory way to make pancakes. Shawnee mix (regional, Oklahoma) and a gas range with a griddle. Having neither now, Kroger microwave pancakes. The syrup is the important part, so I sprang $8 for a small bottle of real maple. Did maple trees join a union or something?

I grew up with Log Cabin

But switched to real maple syrup long ago. It's pricey because it's so labor intensive. But nothing can compare to it. Everything else is just artificially flavored corn syrup. You think it's expensive here? In Spain it's a premium priced gourmet food item.

Uhhh.... real syrup. We usually just have the Aunt Jemimas stuff. But sometimes my dad will come home with a big heavy glass bottle of real canadian maple syrup. Of course my mom doesn't approve of its price tag at any time.

With the first bite of waffle coated in it, is pure heaven! But eating too much can be sickening! Super sugary.

I grew only having real syrup on the table.  My great-uncle & aunt started cooking syrup in 1932, and now their son and grandson do it.  In fact, their grandson Brian, (my 2nd cousin), makes his living cooking and selling the stuff.  He has contracts with several regional supermarket chains, and is certified by the WI Dept. of Agriculture.

We each have our favorite way of cooking. I only use real maple syrup, can't tolerate anything else- life is too short for fake syrup. But I also only use Hungry Jack pancake mix, original version. I only fry my pancakes on my trusts old Frigidaire griddle, heated for 3 minutes on medium high heat then coated with a bit of vegetable oil.  I love the lacy brown type of pancakes, hate the ones that are evenly brown.

I make my pancakes from scratch - I don't like any of the mixes. I find them to be too sponge like. Call me weird, I also don't like maple syrup - I use corn syrup on my pancakes and waffles. I've got 2 jugs of home made maple syrup that were given to me in my freezer.

Keeping them crisp

ronhic's profile picture
Folks,

Being an Australian, waffles aren't something that we're traditionally brought up with....

Now, Kelly provided a fantastic recipe a little while ago that I've made and loved. But how to keep them hot without them going soggy is my biggest worry???

Love waffles, love pancakes.. I prefer thinner pancakes though, more crepe-like, that's how my granma made hers and taught me. She'd roll them up and drizzle them with lemon or lime juice and then sprinkle sugar over them.
When I'm too lazy I keep a box of Krusteaz in the fridge

You can make good maple (flavor) syrup for virtually nothing. It's been a while, but the recipe is like boil a cup of sugar in a cup of water to desired thickness, flavor (to taste) with 1tsp maple extract and 1/2tsp vanilla extract. It's better than the corn syrup/cellulose gum/sodium benzoate/hexametaphosphate stuff on the shelf AND you know exactly what's in it.

Pancakes or waffles?

 

Waffles are easy.  Just keep them in a low oven.

 

Pancakes are a different story.  I think they are best served immediately.

Ran outta Bisquick . . .

joeekaitis's profile picture




. . . so I had to improvise. Came out purty good.



6 ounces all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 tbsp. powdered buttermilk (if desired, substitute 1 cup liquid buttermilk and omit water)

1 egg
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup water
1 tbsp. melted and cooled butter (if unsalted, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt to dry ingredients)

Heat nonstick electric griddle or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (or a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 10 minutes while the batter rests).

Combine dry ingredients (flour through powdered buttermilk) in an 8-cup batter bowl or measuring cup. Aerate for about a half-minute with an electric hand mixer on low speed.

Beat egg and sugar in a separate bowl for 3 minutes on high speed (this aerates and denatures the egg, preventing a "scrambled egg" flavor note). Add water and vanilla extract, beat 1 more minute on high.

Add egg mixture and melted butter to dry ingredients. Gently whisk until combined with the mixer switched off. Let rest 10 minutes before baking (about a 1/2 cup of batter per pancake on a 375 degree griddle).

Makes about 6 pancakes.

Bisquick....

funny I've always hated Bisquick for pancakes and waffles, always seemed to have a mealy gritty texture to the finished product.  The only use I have for Bisquick is for Strawberry Shortcake, other than that it sits in the cupboard.

Baking Pancakes

lotsosudz's profile picture
I actually do not fry my pancakes, I like them like my Mother, and Grandmother made them, baked. They both taught me to put about a cup of salt into a clean lined, or plain cotton cloth and tie it up with twine. You heat your cast iron griddle over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Before you pour batter on to the griddle, you run your salt mop over the griddle a couple of rounds, then pour your batter on the
griddle. Once that pancake is off the griddle, repeat the steps again. It will keep your griddle clean, and keep your pancakes from sticking. Usually. like any other method, the first one is a bust. Pancakes will come out golden brown, and will not be heavy or greasy, and your griddle stays clean. Make sure you double or triple the cloth before filling it with salt. Don't ask me why this works, but it does very well. This method has been used in my family for about 150 years, and is still being used today. The cloth will get slightly burnt looking, but unless it burns through completely,it will still work. Call me crazy, but it works!

To keep

waffles warm and crisp....low oven, but do not cover them. In fact, I put them directly on the (clean!) rack. Of course, if you keep them in the oven more than 15 minutes or so, you might have to apply a bit more butter or syrup or my preference, jam to them- such a tragedy. ;)

Blue Corn Pancakes

ultramatic's profile picture

 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup blue cornmeal
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
  • 2 to 3 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • Orange-Honey Butter, recipe follows
  • Cinnamon Maple Syrup, recipe follows
  • Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Directions

Preheat a nonstick griddle. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

 

Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of the milk in a medium bowl until combined, then stir in the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. If the batter seems too thick, add some of the remaining milk.

 

Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until the bottom is light golden brown, flip, and continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Remove to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Serve 3 pancakes per person with a dollop of orange-honey butter, cinnamon maple syrup, and bananas. Garnish with blueberries dust with confectioners' sugar.

Orange-Honey Butter:

  • 3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 2 sticks butter, slightly softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch salt

Place orange juice in a small non-reactive saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 tablespoons. Place butter in a bowl and add the orange syrup, honey, and salt; mix until combined. Scoop into a large ramekin, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Cinnamon Maple Syrup:

  • 2 cups pure maple syrup
  • 2 to 3 cinnamon sticks

Heat syrup and cinnamon sticks over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove and let steep for 1 hour. Remove sticks and pour into a small pitcher.

 

@ Hans: I am trying your Old Fashioned Aunt Jemima pancake recipe. I'd sure like to remember how they used to taste.
