Instant Pancake Mix And Instant Pancakes By Alton Brown Food

"INSTANT" PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
• Use the mix within 3 months.
• Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
• Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
• Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.
• Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)
• Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
• Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes.

ALTON BROWN'S FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients. (I just melted the butter slightly before adding it in with the eggs and buttermilk.).
• Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and mix just until batter comes together. Do NOT mix smooth. Set aside batter to rest for 5 minutes.
• * Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
• *Test the griddle by flicking water on it. If the water dances across the surface, you're good to go.
• * Rub down the griddle with a little butter or spray with nonstick spray.
• Ladle 1 scoop of batter onto the griddle. (Batter will be thick! Just spread it out with the bottom of your ladle or the back of a spoon.) Cook until bubbles form in the batter and bottom is golden, approximately three minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden, another a minute or so. Adjust the heat as necessary as you go along. Serve while hot!
