Pancake Batter Recipes?

[Brentastic]

I've been wanting to make some pancakes for the family but I've never made pancakes. Does anyone have a "killer" recipe they'd like to share so I can make some cakes next weekend? FYI, I'm not a fan of fruit or anything "healthy" like that. The richer and sweeter the better. I love vanilla too, so any recipe that involved vanilla extract would probably be a hit with me.

Bisquick, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, cinnamon, small pinch of nutmeg, vanilla extract. Makes great cakes.

Also, you can get madagascar vanilla sugar. Whip the sugar with butter (and a little bit of cinnamon if you like) and use that for the butter you put on the cakes. Mmmmmm.

So do I follow the directions on the bisquick box then just add the spices in teaspoons?

alton brown has a good mixture. i typically use bisquick, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon in the batter. sometimes i will add some creamer that mrs has around, or cocoa. there are several pancake threads floating around, but i don't know how to use the quote feature for the new format yet

Agree with Bier, the Alton Brown one is the one we always use. DON"T OVER MIX!

Not exactly. There isn't so much an exact amount that I use, I just eyeball it.

I finally made some cakes for the family this morning. Here's the recipe I used:

 

2 cups Bisquick

1 3/4 cups buttermilk

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp sugar

2 eggs

 

Flavor was great but they did not rise very much and were not very fluffy. Any tips on how to get my cakes fluffier? Like I said though, the taste, which is most important was great!

I have an aunt that makes my batter for me. Aunt jemima.

Add some Club Soda to the mix to get lighter fluffier cakes.

Buttermilk will weigh them down. Cut that with half milk, and if that does not doo the trick try adding a small egg to the mix

Doesn't it clump up the coke & make it hard to snort???

Here's the recipe I used last night.

 

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
  
• 1 1/4 cups milk
  
• 1 egg
  
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  

 

I also threw in some cinnamon. These fluffed up pretty good. Did you sift or mix the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients?

Yeah, either that or I was thinking of cutting back to 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk. The batter was too liquify, imo and probably needs to be thicker. Although I'm not sure if thicker batter makes thicker/fluffier cakes.

I did not sift the dry stuff. I tried to break up the clumps with a fork.

This did the trick

[Chavez]

2 C milk

1 1/2 C flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp honey

3 tbsp butter

1 egg

 

 

My trick is to throw it all in the blender and use that to mix it up. Using honey instead of sugar really seems to make a difference.
