Good pancake recipes?

[William Norberg]

Something that doesn't contain too much calories but still swett. Taste goes over fitness however.

This is a computer and hardware-related technical forum, although you may find a few people who know their way around a kitchen. You might try cooks.com, recipes.com, or google for "America's Test Kitchen" to get pancake recipes.
One thing I will definitely throw out there though, is you want to avoid partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (e.g. Crisco, margarine, "lard" that isn't), in the recipe, or on the pan. That stuff is industrial waste, not a food (not even bugs will eat it).

That one does look good. I've never tried almond flour, but I do like almonds.

As an ex chef i used to follow this bbc recipe for many years at pancake days in pubs ive worked! Lemon juice is key http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3374/perfect-pancakes

Bisquick was my tradition but I prefer Krustease whole wheat pancake mix now.
I like to mix Strawberry jam and syrup and warm it in the microwave too.

I love how this thread is tagged 'pancakes' and 'components' haha

We work on computers mainly because we aren't good at artistic things like cooking.

Hey, if you can build a computer, you should be able to build a pancake. Right?

 

[William Norberg]

Thanks for all of your suggestions, just had a meal of pancakes. Can't wait until breakfeast. I will be going on a 100% Pancake diet for a couple of days.

Some of the cpu's run so hot, you can cook a pancake on them...

I use the prepackaged mix for pancakes which is simple. Just add water and mix!

 

[Onus]

The prepackaged mixes are pretty easy, and certainly passable, except that I've discovered they all seem to contain industrial waste. If I found one without it (even if it meant adding a pat of butter, a cap of oil, or using buttermilk), I'd definitely use it.

They are fine, but break apart way too easily.

I can follow directions and build the mix ok. It's the cooking that always gets me. I start them, and always move the next task in my multi-tasking life, and by the time I get back... they aren't edible.

Crispy, but risky...

If you make them thin, you can cook them quickly on a hotter griddle and not leave the centers raw. This will cut down on the opportunity and temptation to multi-task while cooking them.

But when i try to flip them, they become Scrammled eggs.

 

[Onus]

You could try a larger spatula or smaller pancakes...

(I used to make really big ones, then roll them up to eat them)

I make the pancakes in a 12" fry pan, with just a minimal amount of vegetable oil (canola). I make 3 to 4 at a time. When the top starts to show bubbles, it is time to flip it. They only need to be cooked another 25-30% on the reverse side before taking them off.

Would strawberries taste good instead of jam? They are pretty juicy...

 

[digitaldoc]

Strawberries are great. I also like the jam and use strawberry or blackberry.

Yeah, don't want them to get too sweet though, if there's even such a thing as "too sweet"...

 

[digitaldoc]

Not an issue...

I think we should change this section to "Cooking and Leisure" since this post has more responses in a day than most threads in here get in 6 months :lol:
