How To Make Pancakes From Scratch

Step one, measure the dry ingredients correctly. If the recipe calls for sifted flour, make sure put it through a sifter as instructed. Make sure you measure out the right amount of the ingredients or you could end up with a mess in the end.

Now you will need to correctly measure out the wet ingredients. Again, precision is key. Use a liquid measuring cup to measure out all the wet ingredients including the milk and oil. Open up the eggs one at a time separately and break up the yolks.

Make two separate bowls, one for the wet ingredients, and one for the dry ingredients. Mix them each separately very well. Stir the dry ingredients with a spoon and beat the wet ingredients together so that they are completely incorporated.

Pour all the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir it together, but be careful not to over-beat. Vigorously beating the batter will result in tough, undesirable pancakes that no one will want to eat.

Now you will need to retrieve your pan or griddle. I like to use a big electric griddle that I can plug in away from the stove. Use a little bit of oil or butter to lightly grease the pan. You could also use cooking spray for this step. Heat the pan to medium high heat.

Next, use a measuring cup or a ladle to pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Space the pancakes out about 2 or so inches apart. If you want the pancakes to be bigger or smaller, use the batter accordingly.

Tiny bubbles will soon begin to form about a minute after pouring. Now is the time to flip them. Cook them on the pan for another minute or until golden brow. Serve warm with syrup and butter.

Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Buttermilk, is of course, the magic ingredient. It not only adds flavor, but also acid which reacts strongly to the baking soda. This makes pancakes lighter. Just buy one quart every few weeks and keep it on hand. It isn’t expensive and it keeps well. 

Homemade pancakes have many variations and they can be topped or served with fruits, nuts, jams, cheese cream, syrup or butter. So if you don’t have apples at home, you can make your pancakes with other fruits. Savory pancakes are popular too. You can try potato latkes or thin pancakes filled with meat, cheese, vegetables or fish. Savory homemade pancakes are great idea for lunch or dinner. 

Here is the recipe for delicious apple cinnamon buttermilk pancakes. I used all-purpose and multigrain flour, but you can use normal flour if you want.

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
1/2 cup multigrain flour 
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted 
1-1/2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
2 tbsp granulated sugar 
3/4 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp salt 
1 apple, peeled and cored 
1 tbsp vegetable oil

How to make pancakes:

1.) In one bowl whisk together multigrain flour and all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon.

2.) Take another bowl, and whisk together buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.

3.) Pour over the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Don’t mix too long. The batter should have some lumps.

4.) Grate apple and squeeze to remove excess juice. Then fold into the batter

5.) Take a griddle or a frying pan and brush it with some oil. Heat the frying pan over medium high heat.

6.) Pour ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the underside is golden and bubbles break on top but not fill in.

7.) Turn and cook until golden, for about 1-2 minutes.

8.) Serve warm and topped with desired syrup.

Moreover, you can omit sugar and instead of this add some sweetener if you are on diet. To make perfect homemade pancakes, remember about few things. Buy always fresh ingredients. Fresh flour, eggs, and milk all make a difference. Flour is the main ingredient. It’s amazing how much better fresh flour tastes. Try to buy some higher quality flour from a small or local mill.

Make Your Own Pancake Mix

These days everyone is busy. Most people have to wake up early for work or school and have barely any time, if any at all to have any kind of breakfast, let alone a big fancy breakfast. We just don’t have time for it.
Do you like big breakfasts? What about pancakes that are golden brown and smothered in butter and syrup? Do you ever wish you had time to wake up in the morning and make yourself delicious pancakes?
If you’re time is limited in the morning, you probably can still make pancakes. How? You can cut down considerably on the time it takes to make pancakes by using pancake mix instead of taking all the time to take out and measure out all the dry ingredients.
Pancake mix is also a great gift idea. Don’t know what to get someone? Try giving them food! Maybe there’s someone that you need to buy a gift for and all you know is that they like to cook. Pancake mix is great, also for those people who have everything or you don’t know what to get them.
Food makes a great gift for when you don’t know what to get because you just can’t go wrong with food. Everybody has to eat and once the food is eaten, it is gone. They don’t have to find a place to put it.
Pancake mix can be store bought, or you can make your own. You might think that making your own kind of defeats the purpose of cutting down on time. You could make your own in the evening or when you have time and have it ready for when you need it on a morning that you are short for time. 
There are two ways to make pancake mix. You could use a pancake mix recipe, or you could use a basic recipe and just measure out the dry ingredients. The dry ingredients become your mix.
Get the mix ready, add it to a pretty jar, attach the recipe to the jar, and it’s all ready. Add some dried fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts to the mix to add some extra flavor and then store it away or give it as a gift
