FOUR-GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients (first 10 ingredients) in one bowl and the wet ingredients (last 4 ingredients) in another; pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Spoon 1/4 batter per pancake onto a greased, preheated griddle or skillet and cook until bubbles cover the surface and most have popped; turn and cook until lightly browned.
• Serve with jam, honey, syrup and/or cottage cheese (if you like).

JOY OF COOKING PANCAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• First, in a mixing bowl combine all of your dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir together.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine your wet ingredients. The wet ingredients include milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
• Next, pour the wet mixture into your dry mixture, and gently whisk just until combined.
• Take a skillet and place it over medium-low heat and allow the skillet to warm. Coat your skillet with cooking spray, olive oil, or melted butter. Once your skillet is warm, scoop your pancake mixture onto the warm skillet or griddle, and allow your pancakes to cook over medium-low heat.
• When you begin to see your pancakes rise, and have bubbles around the edge, it is time to flip your pancakes over. Allow your pancakes to cook on the other side until they are golden brown. If needed, turn your pancakes back over and allow the first side to brown more. If not, remove them from the burner, place them onto a serving plate, add your desired toppings, serve right away, and enjoy!

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you make the batter.
• Mix together the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs into 1½ cups of the milk, then stir in the 2 tablespoons cooled melted butter if you're using it. Gently stir this mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten the flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If the batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
• Use a little butter or oil each time you add batter, unless your skillet is truly nonstick. When the butter foam subsides or the oil shimmers, ladle batter onto the griddle or skillet, making any size pancakes you like. Adjust the heat as necessary; usually, the first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. The idea is to brown the bottom in 2 to 4 minutes, without burning it. Flip when bubbles appear in the center of the pan-cakes and the bottoms are cooked; they won't hold together well until they're ready.
• Cook until the second side is lightly browned, a couple more minutes, and serve or hold on an oven-proof plate in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes.
