I'm with RdFx. Everything you need is already in the cupboard:
  • Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • salt
  • Sugar
  • Egg
  • Butter
Mix it all up and add any good stuff like:
  • Berries
  • chocolate chips
Fry until big bubbles appear on top;flip. Top; them with honey/maple/whipped cream, and maybe even some more fruit.

For even smoother batter make it up the night before, and let it age in the fridge overnight.

I like "grandmas" pancakes, She was a 5' Bavarian that made these all the time, comes out like a thick crepe, no baking powder needed.

2 cups flour, 2 cups milk, 4 eggs, pinch of salt
mix together and pour batter in butter, oil, shortening, lard,.....she used shortening, but probably used lard or goose fat in the old country, Lately we've been using Gee, or clarified butter, use enough to crisp the edges....

Now, there's a recipe I'm going to try. Especially now, since I am nearly overwhelmed with fresh eggs.

My wife says it sounds like the recipe her Swedish Grandmother used.

Here is my recipe for pancakes. Everyone that has ever tried them thinks they are awesome.

2 cups Krusteaz pankcake mix
1 Cup of Cottage cheese
1 Egg
couple drops of Vanilla

I know the Cottage cheese sounds weird but it very good and keeps the pancakes nice and moist.

T Rex, they are addicting...feel free to add some vanilla extract, or cinnamon, another German pancake recipe uses a little lemon juice mixed with butter as a drizzle, but just plain they're real good... grin

Aunt Jemima kicks Mrs. Buttercup's arse.

As if I'd know. Neither of those broads have come near my place since I started robbing honey bees, and home brewing maple syrup.

My Dad has bees so we get plenty of honey and a good buddy of mine does the maple syrup too. I never really cared for the maple flavor for some reason. I do love honey on biscuits but when it comes to pancakes Mrs.Buttersworth is where its at!!!

You want the most amazing pancakes? Use beer instead of water. They rise up about 3X and are as light as a cloud. Learned that trick a deer camp. We had everything there except water.

I tried this for breakfast, this morning. It's so simple I did it from memory. OK, my memory ain't so great. I forgot the part I underlined. They came out pretty good, I even took one on the road with me today rolled up with peanut butter.

The wife's comment was "The ones my grandmother made had more crispy edges."

I'm going to try again tomorrow with the left over batter.

Thanks, gcs

Growing up, these were known as German pancakes

My granddaughter and I make them from scratch almost every weekend:

1.5 cups All Purpose Flour
3.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Butter, melted
1 Egg
1.25 cup Milk

From late winter on we substitute buckwheat flour left over from making venison scrapple until it is used up.

Re: Favorite Pancake mix or recipe - 05/12/20 11:45 AM

My recipe is 1 cup of water, 1 cup of buckwheat flour, about a table spoon of sugar and a bit of yeast.
I use buckwheat flour, not buckwheat pancake mix. You used to be able to buy buckwheat flour in the grocery store. Now it's hard to find, but it can be had on Amazon.
I just mix everything together and let it rise overnight. If it's too thick I add a little more water before frying.
These are what my mother made when I was a kid. I would not eat store bought pancake mix. When I got old enough to go to deer camp, with my dad, I had to learn to eat pancake mix pancakes. It was all that was cooked up for breakfast and it was either that or nothing. I still don't care much for store bought pancake mix pancakes, I like my plain buckwheat flour pancakes.
My daughter and grand kids will not eat my buckwheat pancakes. They don't like the taste of them. I sure do, it's a very earthy taste.

There are Amish stores around here that sell buckwheat and all sorts of other hard-to-find dry goods.

Buckwheat pancake are much denser and have a much different texture and flavor than those made with wheat flour.

I mixed the buckwheat and wheat flour together at first to get my granddaughter to eat them. Now she loves them and is sad when the buckwheat runs out and we have to switch back to regular wheat flour.

I've never tried letting a batch sit overnight, might try that this winter after scrapple-making is done.

And to keep the batch going all you have to do is add more buckwheat flour and water. The stuff keeps for a long time in the refrigerator. If you leave it set out, after a while it will start to sour. When it starts to sour it gets a different, and I find, a nice flavor.

Re: Favorite Pancake mix or recipe - 05/12/20 01:55 PM

my recipe is scale-able

1 cup flour
1 Tbls sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

1 egg
1 cup sour whole milk ( milk with a dash of vinegar to make it curdle)
2 Tbls oil

I like to reduce dishes so everything is mixed in one bowl and I eyeball some things that don't need to be super precise. if your bad at pouring approximate quantities measure them.

We typically make a triple batch
in a quart mason jar of milk add about 2 Tbls white vinegar do this first and let it sit while doing the rest (I eyeball the vinegar)

I mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the dry ingredients ,crack my 3 eggs into the well break the yokes add my oil. ( I eyeball the oil a touch more won't hurt) then add most of the butter milk about 3/4 of it

Mix let stand 5 minutes (while the griddle heats up) , you may need to adjust the thickness at this point with more of the butter milk/sour milk.

I have mixed all the dry in a gallon bag to bring to deer camp and it works well to not have to measure much.

Not working today. So made pancakes. made the batter I posted above and added some pecans from my tree I saved from last year and blueberries I bought. I mixed up the batter with broken pieces already in it. Still frozen blueberries are put on when the batter is poured into the skillet and gently pushed into the batter.

delicious. I am still full. those pecans were a great addition.
