Pancakes from theKitchn

Deemed the "BEST Pancakes Ever!" our family put this new recipe to the test.

Let's just say there was little table chatter as we consumed serving after serving of these golden beauties.  As much as this recipe has served us well, we are looking forward to "shaking things up" in the kitchen.  I'm already looking forward to next weekend's post-church service brunch. (What is it about church that makes one so incredibly famished?  Or are we the only ones?)



recipe from www.theKitchn.com

serves 2-3 people (barely)

5 tablespoons of butter

1 1/4 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg, separated

1 cup buttermilk (Don't have any on hand?  Add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk.  Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until it begins to curdle.)

1/4 cup milk

canola oil for frying (not necessary if using a non-stick pan or griddle)

*We added a few blueberries to the "adult pancakes," and they were divine.

1. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.

2. Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.

3. In another bowl, add the yolk from the egg, buttermilk and regular milk and whisk until well mixed.  Add the butter and whisk.

4.  Add the yolk and milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just barely combined.  Add the egg white and keep stirring until a thick batter is formed.  Do not over mix.

5. Heat a large skillet or griddle, and film with canola oil.  When pan is hot, lower the flame and drop the batter by spoonfuls.  The batter will spread.  When bubbles break on the surface, peek underneath the pancake.  It should be golden brown.  If so, flip and cook on the other side. 

6.  Slather with butter and syrup.  Enjoy!
