Small Batch Buttermilk Pancakes Food

THE BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a medium bowl until incorporated. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

OLD FASHION' BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRIC MIXERS OF ANY KIND WHEN MAKING THESE!
• Melt butter in small pan or microwave & set aside to cool, but not harden.
• In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, baking powder, soda, vanilla & salt.
• Add the buttermilk & stir until well blended.
• Add the flour, starting with 1 cup & then ½ cup at a time, stirring until flour is JUST moistened -- you want a medium-thick batter.
• Gently, but thoroughly, stir in the cooled, melted butter.
• Ladle onto a hot griddle to desired size.
• When cakes have bubbles all over, they're ready to flip.
• Cook 2-3 more minutes -- flip one more time & cook for 10-15 seconds to get a slight "glaze".
• Serve on a warm platter with some good REAL Maple syrup or any of your favorite toppings.
• ENJOY!
• NOTE: This batter does NOT keep well, so use it wisely ASAP!

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES FOR ONE

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• In separate bowl, mix egg, buttermilk, and oil, then add to dry ingredients, stirring only until just blended.
• Using a 1/3 cup measure, pour batter onto lightly greased griddle or skillet.
• Turn when bubbles form on top of batter, and continue to cook until second side is golden brown.
• Serve with warm honey or with butter and maple syrup.

OLD-FASHIONED CORNMEAL PANCAKES (SMALL BATCH)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt. Set aside.
• In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and vinegar, stirring well; let sit for 5 minutes and stir again before adding to cornmeal mixture.
• In a small bowl or cup, beat egg and the water with a fork or small whisk. Melt butter. Set aside.
• Pour oil into a large cast iron or nonstick skillet; heat over medium/medium-high heat.
• While skillet is heating, add milk, egg mixture and melted butter to dry meal mixture; stir until well combined, but still has a few small lumps. Be careful not to over-mix (to avoid a tough corn cake.)
• Use a large spoon to drop batter onto hot skillet to form pancakes; fry until bubbles begin to appear on top, then flip to fry until pancake is cooked through and golden brown (about 30 seconds or so, depending on how hot your skillet is.)
• Remove to paper towel; repeat with remaining batter.
• Store leftovers in zipper bag at room temperature up to 3 days. Recipe may be doubled. You may substitute 1/2 cup buttermilk for the milk and vinegar.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
• Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).
