can any1 tell me how to make pan cakes?

Answer 1

Ingredients
For the pancake mixture:
110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
2 eggs
200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g/2oz butter
To serve:
caster sugar
lemon juice
lemon wedges



Method
Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets a airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs - any sort of whisk or even a fork will do - incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.

Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking (don't worry about any lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl anduse it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake.

Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, to start with, do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. I find 2 tbsp is about right for an 18cm/7in pan. It's also helpful if you spoon the batter into a ladle so it can be poured into the hot pan in one go. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook; you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if it's tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife - the other side will need a few seconds only - then simply slide it out of the pan onto a plate.
Stack the pancakes as you make them between sheets of greaseproof paper on a plate fitted over simmering water, to keep them warm while you make the rest.

To serve, spinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up. Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice and extra sections of lemon.

Answer 2

Hi Kicksy,

I use this recipe for making pancakes and keep the mix in a sealed container for future use.



12 c All-purpose flour
3/4 c Sugar
4 c Milk powder
2 tb Salt
3/4 c Baking powder

Mix together well the above ingredient and store the mixture in a tightly sealed container.

To make pancakes, combine the following ingredients.

1 1/2 cups of the above mix
1 cup water
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbs salad oil

Milk powder can be omitted if whole milk is used in place of the
water.

Heat the griddle or frying pan to medium high, it's hot enough when sprinkled water "dances" on it. Then lightly grease with vegetable oil (I wipe it with a paper towel or napkin). Pour a ladle worth of the batter onto the griddle. Wait till you see lots of bubbles erupting from the pancake, then flip it with a spatula. It will puff up again a bit, maybe like 30 seconds, then remove.

Hope you enjoy.

Answer 3

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 3/4 cups milk,
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Beat egg with hand beater until fluffy; beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Grease a heated griddle.(what I do is I pour oil on the girddle and twirl it . when the entire girddle is coated I remove the excess into a cup)

Pour about 3 tablespoons batter from tip of large spoon or from pitcher onto hot griddle.

Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges (tiny bubbles will begin to form).

Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. Flipping once should be enough. The first pancake isn't always the best one.

Note: Buttermilk, yogurt, or sour cream may be substituted for some or all of the milk.

This may cause the batter to be too thick or too thin; adjust accordingly by adding milk to thin or flour to thicken. When you use a sour ingredient, cut the baking powder by 1/2 tablespoon and add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. If you don't have buttermilk, you can add powdered buttermilk to the milk (a good thing to have on the shelf).

Answer 4

The very easiest way is to buy the pancake mix. They have ones that only need water. Don't over mix it because you pancakes will be tough...just mix it until the flour is completely moistened and it isn't lumpy. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes and it will make your pancakes more fluffy. Pour them into generous silver dollar size rounds onto a flat skillet that has been lightly greased...(and let the pan get hot first). Then wait until you see the bubbles on top quit forming...then you know it is time to flip them over with a spatula. You can take a peak if you aren't sure. They should be golden brown when you are through. Serve them with butter and syrup or fresh fruit of your choice...along with whipped cream; to add a nice touch.

Answer 5

Mix together:

1 egg (Vegans can use egg substitute, but if so, be sure to use some soy yogurt for part of the milk)
1 cup milk (Sour is better if you have it. Or use buttermilk. Or half yogurt--plain or fruited. Vegans can use soy milk or soy yogurt)
1 cup flour (Wheat flour works best. All whole wheat works fine, and so does any mixture of whole wheat and white flour. Up to 1/3 corn meal is possible)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc.)
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup fruit or chocolate chips (optional)

Ladle onto a warm griddle and fry each side until nicely browned.

This serves 1-2 people. Figure on 2 times this recipe for every 3 people.

Answer 6

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Puree until smooth.
Pour batter onto the griddle, to form 5 pancakes. Flip pancakes when edges appear to harden. Cook pancakes on other side for same amount of time until golden brown.

Answer 7

Don't listen to any of those complicated ones.

Just egg, flour, water. Make it "pancake consistency". Pour into hot pan and flip when bubbles form on top.

If you want pike-lets, add sugar to the mix.

Answer 8

You can buy ready mixed powder from the mart, add some water and beat it till it's fluffy.

Then you can start cooking.
