Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup milk ((See Note 1))
4 tsp butter (melted)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cooking spray (butter or lard for making pancakes (Gramma's favorite was Crisco))

Steps:

  • In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients to thoroughly beat the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to mix. Allow to rest a minute or two.
  • Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray or a dab of butter. (See Note 2). Use paper towel to wipe the butter and coat bottom of skillet.
  • Pour 1/3 cup batter into the middle of the skillet. I use a 1/3 cup measure as we want a 1/4 cup batter per pancake and not all pours out as batter is thick (See Note 3).
  • Look for bubbles to rise to the pancake surface, flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Remove and keep warm.
  • Serve with butter, syrup of choice and fruit.

FANNIE FARMER GRIDDLECAKES



Fannie Farmer Griddlecakes image

This recipe comes from an old old Fanny Farmer cookbook that I bought at a yard sale. An inscription inside was dated Dec. 25, 1945. These pancakes, or griddlecakes if you will, are the bomb and the only recipe I will use. Do give it a try...if you like a pancake that has lots of body then you won't be dissapointed.

Time 13m

Yield 12 medium pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup milk (or more)
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and melted butter and stir vigorously, adding more milk, if necesary, to make the batter just thin enough to pour. Drop by spoonfuls or pour from pitcher onto heated and greased griddle or frying pan using medium heat. When full of bubbles and the underside is browned, turn and brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup and additional butter.

GRIDDLE CAKES



Griddle Cakes image

Over time I had developed a vague impression that griddle cakes (as opposed to pancakes) was made with cornmeal. I don't know if that is an accurate definition or not, but these are the griddle cakes that I came up with when I tried to make some. They are very good served with syrup or honey.

Time 30m

Yield 10 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups skim milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a heavy nonstick pan (i.e. spray with non-stick cooking spray), and start heating it at medium-high heat.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and butter.
  • Now combine the dry and wet ingredients together, stirring just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Do not worry about getting rid of all of the lumps. (It is important to combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine them together to reduce the amount of time that the gluten in the flour has to toughen up.).
  • Pour the batter onto the hot pan in about 4" circles.
  • Flip the cakes when they get bubbly on the one side.
  • Continue cooking until the bottom browns. I usually peek by pulling up the edge with a spatula.
  • If the griddle cakes are cooking too fast, reduce the heat.
  • Never flip the griddle cakes more than once as this will make them heavy.
  • Serve the griddle cakes immediately even if this means that people have to eat at different times because there are not enough to go around when the first batch comes off of the griddles.
