Pancakes have been a mainstay of the western world for many decades and have graced the breakfast tables of many people over the years. However, what many people fail to realize that pancakes can be found all over the world in various forms and avatars. This widespread popularity can only be attributed to the basic fact that an easy and simple pancake recipe can make the life of a working person very easy. The following are the ingredients that we are going to use to make pancakes for four people.

1. Two cups of flour which has already been cleaned and sifted.
2. Two and a half teaspoons of baking powder.
3. Three tablespoons of granulated sugar.
4. Half a teaspoon salt.
5. Two large eggs.
6. Around one and a half to two cups of milk.
7. Two tablespoons of melted butter.

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get down to making the pancakes with this very simple and fundamental pancake recipe.

1. Run flour, baking powder, sugar and salt through the sieve together.
2. Whisk milk with the eggs in a different bowl.
3. Mix the milk and egg mixture with the flour mixture while at the same time stirring, so as to keep the mixture smooth.
4. Blend this new mixture with melted butter.
5. In case, the batter seems too viscous and thick then the solution would be to add around one fourth or half a cup of milk more.
6. This final batter can now be cooked in a frying pan. The frying pan should be hot enough. Pour around one fourth of a cup of batter in the frying pan.
7. Cook till the batter in the pan dries around the edges and becomes bubbly, fluffy and a little brownish at the bottom.
8. Flip the pancake to cook the other side.
9. Serve with maple syrup, honey, cream, strawberries or anything else similar to this that you can think of.

Additional Tips For The Best Homemade Pancakes:

Using Ingredients: remember that it is better to use fresh ingredients, do not use baking soda which is 2 years old  Always measure ingredients carefully, batter that is too thin can result in flat pancakes, and one which is too thick will not spread much at all, if you like your pancakes thinner, add more milk to the batter. It is very important to mix dry and wet ingredients in a separate bowls if you are making American style pancakes.

Making Batter: to make really fluffy pancakes, separate eggs. Add egg yolks where recipe calls for eggs and beat egg whites separately, and fold them at the end.  Do not use electric mixer and do not over mix the batter because this overdevelops the gluten, and your pancakes can be rubbery instead of being light and airy.  If you use baking soda to make batter, cook it immediately, because the liquid starts reacting and the batter will go flat. Do not worry if your batter have some lumps remaining, they will disappear during cooking. Remember that you can always make pancakes as you like them- so if the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or buttermilk, if it seems too runny, you can add tablespoon or more of flour. Remember that batter made with wheat flour will thicken as it stands.

Griddle or frying pan: a griddle with a temperature control is very good for cooking pancakes. Set it on 375 degrees F when preheating and then turn down to 360 when you are cooking pancakes. If you do not have griddle, you can use a frying pan, which should be heat over medium high heat. Do not brush the griddle or frying pan with butter or oil until it is preheated. Do not add a lot of butter or oil, one tablespoon is enough when you are cooking 12 pancakes. If you notice that you really need more, do not add more than one tablespoon at once. Test if griddle is hot enough by sprinkling few drops of water. If drops dance and sizzle, the griddle is ready to use.

Pouring Pancakes to pour the batter onto the frying pan, you can use ladle. Remember that it is good to hold the ladle near the surface of the griddle. If you hold it to high, you can break the air bubbles in the batter. It is your choice how big or small pancakes you want, but usually it is advised to pour ¼ cup of the batter if you want bigger pancakes, and one or two tablespoons for smaller pancakes.

Cooking pancakes: do not flip pancakes more than one time because they can break easily. Remember that second side cooks faster than first, and it takes usually only half time to cook the other side. Use thin spatula to flip pancakes. First, lift only the edge of pancakes with spatula to see of pancake if golden brown and ready to flip. Never pat pancakes with spatula.

Serving pancakes: serve pancakes warm and arrange them nicely on a serving platter. Before serving pancakes, you may want to keep them in a warm oven so that they will not get cold before eating. Heat syrup in a microwave for about 20 seconds, garnish pancakes with some fruits, nuts or powdered sugar and spread the syrup on them.

Freezing pancakes: if you have some leftovers, you can always freeze them! Cool and wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a freezer bag for up to month. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover with foil and heat at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Pancake Ideas For Delicious Homemade Pancakes:

Remember, that you do not have to stop here. Pancakes are remarkably versatile snacks. Here are some ideas on sweet and savory combinations that make pancakes a delicious treat:

To make pancakes you don’t have to use flour base every time. It is good to try something new from time to time. There are many pancake varieties all over the world and almost all of them are worth trying. If you don’t want to go that far, you can experiment with basic ingredients.

Instead of milk: you can use buttermilk or even plain yogurt. It is always good to try something new! If you are bored with milk, you can always add some coco milk, the taste of pancakes is amazing.

For variety: stir fresh or frozen fruits into the batter before cooking pancakes. You can add strawberries, blueberries, bananas, raspberries, apples, peaches and many others. Moreover, if you like nuts, you have to try adding pecans and walnuts. For chocolate taste, you can use chocolate chips, cocoa or milk chocolate. Almost everything goes good with homemade pancakes. Add ricotta to your pancakes for delicious and subtle taste.

Spices: adding spices to your homemade pancakes will make them taste even much better. I like adding cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla extract.

Potato Pancakes Recipe

Potato pancakes are also known as latkes or latkas in Yiddish and Hebrew. Potato pancakes are shallow- fried pancakes of grated egg and potato. Often pancakes are flavored with onion. I usually top my potato pancakes with a variety of condiments. Sometimes I like them savory, whereas the other time I make them sweet with sugar and applesauce. If you rather have a taste for savory potato pancakes, try them out with some sour cream- yummy. Many times I fed my family with these potato pancakes even without any toppings or sauces and still they were delicious and disappeared from the plates with a big speed.

Potato Pancakes are a very delicious and warm thing to eat. They have a lot more flavor and taste than other pancakes. Potato pancakes are commonly associated with traditional Polish, Ukrainian, German, Czech and Hungarian cuisine. Other countries like Belarus, India or Korea have similar potato pancakes.

Here, I present one of my favorite potato pancakes recipe. It is easy to make and you can serve your pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Potato Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large egg whites
• 2 medium baking potatoes
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 2 tsp Canola oil
• 2 Tbsp coarsely grated onion
• Pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp salt

How to make Potato Pancakes:

1. First, peel the potatoes and onion. Then shred them with a grater onto 2 paper towels. The, twist the towels and the potatoes over the sink to wring out the left liquid.
2. Put potatoes to a mixing bowl.
3. Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Beat egg whites in a small bowl until foamy and add to the potatoes. Add also onions, pepper and salt. Add flour and toss gently to blend.
4. Take a frying pan or a heavy non-stick skillet and brush it with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Preheat for about 2 minutes on a medium heat.
5. Put about ½ cup of potatoes mixture on the frying pan. Cook pancake for about 7 minutes. Don’t forget about flipping them to the other side during the cooking. Pancakes should be browned and crispy.
6. When ready, put your potato pancakes on the plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve pancakes with applesauce or sour cream.

Tips:

• You can put sugar on the pancakes after you fry them to give them extra flavor. But only if you want to make them sweet.
• When frying, use a generous amount of oil. I use peanut oil sometimes, which doesn’t burn during the cooking process.
