Bran Griddle Cakes Food

FABULOUS OATMEAL-BRAN CAKE

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over oats and bran cereal, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Combine the remaining ingredients, and add oat mixture to them. Pour into two 8 or 9 inch pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes. To make muffins bake about 15 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

GRIDDLE CAKES

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.

CINNAMON GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium low heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
• While pancakes are cooking, mix the icing. Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and enough milk to make a liquid frosting. Drizzle frosting on hot pancakes before serving.

BRAN GRIDDLE CAKE ROLLS PANCAKES

Steps:

• Soak bran flakes in milk for 10 minutes.

• Combine egg and bran/milk mixture.
• Add melted shortening.
• Add to dry ingredients.
• Mix until smooth.
• Cook on hot griddle.
• Turn only once.
• Spread with butter and jelly and roll up.

• Serve.

ALL BRAN PANCAKE

BRAN CAKE

Steps:

• Soak the bran, sugar, milk and fruit together for at least 2 hours. Add flour and pour into a loaf tin.
• Bake at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve in slices. Dieters may consume an occasional slice as a treat!

MOM'S OAT GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Pour the milk over the oats and let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
• Add the beaten eggs to the oat and milk mixture. Add the melted butter.
• Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until moistened.
• You may keep this in the refrigerator for several days or make immediately.
• Fry on griddle until brown. These are thick and take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes.
• Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

RAISED GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal and boiling water. Let soak for about 15 minutes. While still warm but not hot, stir in the flour, sugar, milk and yeast. Cover, and let rise overnight in the refrigerator.
• In the morning, mix in the eggs, baking powder and salt. If the batter seems too thin, add more cornmeal to thicken it up. If desired, set aside a cupful of batter for the next morning's batch of griddle cakes (see Cook's Note).
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Spoon pancakes onto the hot griddle, and cook until browned on each side. Serve at once with butter and syrup.
