Pancakes!

I need a recipe for those thick american breakfast pancakes you guys eat with syrup and such. I have been unable to find one here, so thought i would ask the americans here how they make them, preferably a sweet version if such a thing exists.

Thanks.

Gingerbread Pancakes
Magnolia Cafe, Austin

3 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup brewed coffee
21/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Cream eggs and sugar together. Stir in buttermilk, water, and coffee and set aside. In a separate bowl sift together remaining dry ingredients.
Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients (do not overbeat), then mix in melted butter. Add more water or buttermilk if necessary, but batter should be thick. Cook until done on a lightly greased hot griddle or in a heavy skillet (turn once when bubbles appear on upper side and start to break). Pancakes will be thick and cakelike in texture. Makes 8 to 10 five-inch pancakes.

Here is one for you. I prefer the Kerby Lane Cafe version here in Austin over these, but they are both good. I haven't found a recipe for making the Kerby Lane one's, but I have purchased a bag of their mix at the restaurant in the past.

Lemon Chiffon Pancakes

3 eggs, separated
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup cottage cheese
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 Tablespoons lemon zest
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup flour

Beat egg whites until stiff in an electric mixer bowl. Set aside. In a food processor, combine yolks and remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and fluffy. Pour into a bowl. Fold in egg whites. Cook on a griddle and serve immediately.

I like to eat this with a raspberry syrup or powdered sugar. They really are awesome.

There is this place... a near mythical place in Vermont called twin farms ( http://www.twinfarms.com/home.html ) where the room rates are absurd, everything is included (food, wine, horseback riding, golf, massage, you name it). They make these, which are not traditional pancakes per se, but I promise these are the BEST, flat out BEST pancakes ever...I can't beleive I am giving out this recipe

Pancakes

2 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs granulated sugar
1 Tbs salt
4 eggs, separated
1 1/2 Tbs vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups whole milk

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Blend well, do
not
sift.

Combine the yolks, vanilla, almond and milk in mixing bowl. In
separate
bowl, whip egg whites to firm peaks.

Stir yolk mixture into flour mixture. Then fold stiff egg whites into
batter...GENTLY, until just combined.

Do not overmix.

Fruit and nuts can be folded into batter just before cooking. Spoon
batter
onto frying pan that can go in the oven.

Brown on both sides. Finish in 350 oven until center is cooked and
batter
has risen.

Approximately 8 minutes. I do mine in the small calaphon pans for
individual servings.
You can also use copper pans and move them right to the table on a
wooden
charger. More festive.

What exactly do you mean by separating the eggs? Just use the egg yolks(sp) or how?

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » March 15, 2005, 7:28 pm

Sit them into opposite corners of the kitchen until they agree to be nice to each other!

How to Separate Eggs

You can always cheat and purchase a plastic egg-separator. If you don't think it's worth it, follow these simple steps to separate your egg yolks from their whites:

1) Crack the egg lightly, as close to the middle as possible, being careful not to break the yolk.

2) Hold half the shell, with the yolk in it, in one hand, and the other half-shell in the other.

3) Allow as much of the egg white as possible to run out of the shell and down into a bowl, then transfer the yolk to the other half of the shell, in the process allowing more of the white to run out.

It should not be necessary to perform this transfer more than twice to get the yolk almost completely clear of egg white. The process is a little awkward, however, and takes some practice. It is a good idea to have extra eggs on hand, in case the first few tries are less than successful.

If you want to keep the yolks, it doesn't matter very much if one breaks. If you want to keep the whites, it is necessary to be much more careful, and use one bowl in which to keep the whites already separated, and a different bowl over which to separate the current egg. A little white in the yolks doesn't matter, but a fleck of egg yolk can make a batch of egg whites unusable because the fat in an egg yolk will stop the whites from fluffing up when they are whipped.

Egg whites can be saved by freezing. It is not, however, worth the effort to try to save egg yolks.

if you have Bisquick in Denmark, here's a simple yet effective recipe for traditional pancakes:

Bisquick Pancakes

2 c Original Bisquick® mix
1 c milk
2 eggs

1. 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.)

2. Stir all ingredients until blended. Pour by slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.

3. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden.

mind you I've stayed in very nice B&Bs, and even spent 4 months in the Renaissance on Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago, but nowhere I've stayed even comes close to those room rates. For those prices I'd better be getting a blowjob too

Actually what you get is... everything, nothing at all can cost you one cent over your rate, want to drink a great cab with your 6 course dinner... no charge, ski, horseback, 2 massages and facials a day, ok! Twin Farms is THE premier Inn in America, it stands apart from all the rest. Interestingly they bought a huge chunk of land near me (Cazadero) and planned on opening a west coast version but ran into massive planning problems, pity, the west coast can afford a place like that up here, not many places can

Plain old traditional pancakes + creamy peanut butter + syrup = win

spread the peanut butter on the pancakes while they're hot so it melts.

If you guys haven't tried this before... do it. It's the best.

Can't you just make those magical pancakes on a frying pan over heat as normal? Or does it absolutely have to be in an oven?

I love peanut butter on pancakes.

Made some bananut-nut pancakes over the weekend and they were extra scrumptous with warm gooey peanut butter.

As a bonus, it grossed Sylvos out!!

Not pancakes, but... following on the Peanut butter/Maple Syrup tangent:

French Toast with Peanut-Butter Maple Syrup

Ingredients:
1 egg egg
2 T milk fat-free milk
1 t vanilla extract vanilla extract
2 bread white or whole wheat bread
1/4 c maple syrup light maple syrup

Directions:
Mix together the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large flat dish. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, and then flip it so both sides are coated. Heat both sides of the toast in a nonstick skillet until golden brown.

Stir the maple syrup and peanut butter together in a separate bowl and microwave until warm. Pour over the French toast.

Open mouth. Eat.

when used for French toast. Especially with extra cinnamon in the syrup.

There is but one Jewish food worth noting and that is challah. Incidentally, this makes THE best french toast bread, bar none.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » March 17, 2005, 12:34 pm

Challah bread is great for almost anything besides a hamburger...then you just end up with a mess! I have never tried it for toast/french toast before though.

You could always have someone send you a box of instant pancake mix!

Silver Dollar pancakes were the best growing up. Something about eating little mini pancakes instead of huge pancakes made it more fun!

Tegellan · Post by **Tegellan** » March 21, 2005, 8:35 pm

Well, we do have an american import store here where i could buy the mic I suppose, it's just always ridiculously expensive and I thought the homemade type of pancakes would taste better, so gonna try them out for the brunch i am making this week end.

Thanks again for all the help guys.

Don't go with the mix if you really want them to be good though. While the mix isn't that bad, there are better ways to get your pancakes. I think Winnow is just remembering something from his childhood that he felt was good at the time...kind of like all of that nasty tasting cereal that you have as a kid and try later in life to wonder why you liked to eat colored cardboard.

Lohrno · Post by **Lohrno** » April 7, 2005, 1:42 pm

In normal pancake recipes you use some ammount of milk or water to thin out the mix. Instead, try substituting about half or 1/3* the amount of milk you'd use with yogurt. Bonus points if you get the yogurt with bits of fruit/other stuff for an easy way to make fruit flavor pancakes.

*Disclaimer: This amount might not be right, you should experiment probably.
