Best Spicy Country Pancakes Recipes

HEARTY COUNTRY HOT CAKES

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, flour, sugar, farina, oil, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat using an electric mixer on low until just combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-low heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until middle is set, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

APPLE CIDER COUNTRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine pancake mix and water in a large bowl; mix well. Stir in diced apples. Place batter in the refrigerator to rest, about 15 minutes.
• Heat sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts into a thick amber-colored liquid, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add apple cider slowly to the saucepan, stirring constantly, until mixture is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
• Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat. Drop a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with cider syrup.

COUNTRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Melt butter in microwave first, so that it will cool a little before mixing into batter.
• Preheat griddle to medium-high. If the griddle is not non-stick, lightly oil it first.
• Optional: If desired, separate the egg and whip the egg white. This will help make the pancakes extra light and fluffy in texture. I use a little hand-held blender for this step. I always do this because it makes such a big difference.
• In a good-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a small separate bowl, whisk egg yolk, vanilla and melted butter. Combine the two mixtures in the larger bowl and mix.
• Add club soda and egg whites and gently fold into batter. Be careful not to over-mix at this point.
• If you did not separate the egg, you might need to use more club soda to reach the desired consistency. If you did separate the egg, the batter will be thicker than normal pancake batter.
• I like to fry the pancakes in bacon grease, but you can use regular vegetable oil if you prefer. Pour about 1/3 c for each pancake and brown on both sides.
• Brush the remaining melted butter on each pancake as you stack them.
• I keep the pancakes on an oven-proof platter in the oven on 200 degrees while I get all of them cooked.
• You will probably need to reapply the oil or bacon grease to the griddle.
• If batter thickens while you finish the bacon or frying the first few batches, add the reserved club soda.
• Unused batter can be kept covered in the fridge to use in the next few days. If it becomes too thick, add a little milk.
