I've just graduated from instant mixes, so now - I have this new principle when baking: I do things from scratch.
I'd like to know how to make really fluffy from-scratch pancakes.

First of all, I've used an embarrassing amount of baking powder: Like a cup of flour would get about 2-3 tbs of baking powder. They still have that gummy quality.

Second, I'm already aware of over-mixing: makes them gummy and tough.

(Also, I've read about using Bisquik, which I consider a shortcut - no offense but I'm still a learner; soda and carbonated water, too, I think are shortcuts. Very neat tricks, I have to admit but I am still trying to get my bearings with pancakes.)

Or is it that the secret is in the eggs: whisking them until they're light and airy themselves?

Though, if you do know any other tricks and shortcuts, I'd love to hear about them, too. I'd like to see my options.

Cheers!

I want to make biscuits that look really appealing and taste really nice. But I don't want to do something really hard for a start. Oh and please give me websites that got all the steps and pictures of biscuits!

I know they are tough to make but I can cook quite well. I'm sure the right cookware will help. I want to make dessert crepes, filled with ice cream, topped with chocolate and bananas. Or with whipped cream and strawberries/peaches.

Thanks!

We are doing a Civil War project at school, and we need a recipe for homemade honey. When supplies were lacking, women would substitute sugar for honey. Does anybody know how to make homemade honey? If you do, please answer. Listing the recipe /ingredients/materials would be great, as we have to demonstrate how to make this stuff, and if possible, please post any recipes that do not include sugar, though I imagine almost all will.

Thank you!

I've started cooking not long ago; This is why I don't know much. Anyways, I've boiled some water and added onions, salt, pepper, garlic, and chicken breast. would it be safe if I drank the water? What happens to the germs in the chicken?
