Thin Pancakes

Serves 4

Flour, 2 cups
Sugar, 2 tablespoons
Baking powder, 2 teaspoons
Salt to taste
Mixing bowl

Butter, 4 tablespoons (2 ounces), melted
Eggs, 2
Milk, 2 cups
Water
Another mixing bowl

To mix batter

Melt the butter and set aside.

Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a wire whisk.

In the second bowl, beat the egg with the whisk 20 to 30 seconds. Gradually add melted butter, whisking all the while. Stir in milk, all at once if you wish.

Pour milk mixture onto the dry ingredients. Mix them together with a spatula as gently as possible. Avoid kneading the dough, which will toughen it.

Thin with water as necessary. Batter should not be stiff, but like a creamy soup.

(May be done ahead of time to this point.)
Standing

The batter may be used immediately, but is best if allowed to stand for more thorough mixing. Ten minutes standing is good, 30 minutes better. Batter will thicken with standing. (This is a good time to warm plates, warm syrup, prepare other toppings, check the Sunday comics, etc.)
Batter for evenly browned pancakes

This is probably thinner than you are used to, unless you make crepes. To test consistency, pour a teaspoon of batter on a cold plate. The batter should not stay in place, but flow outward after hitting the plate to form a pool 1/8 inch thick at most.

As batter sits, it thickens. Therefore check consistency just before cooking, thinning with water as necessary.
To heat griddle

Have everything else ready before heating.

Turn on heat to medium or medium high. When griddle is slightly warm, melt a thin film of butter over the surface. This should not again be necessary during the session.

Heat a cast iron griddle at medium until a spoonful of water dropped on the griddle surface almost immediately breaks up into small beads. (Yes, that hot.) Heating may take awhile, especially for a large griddle. My two-burner griddle takes 10 to 15 minutes.
To Pour

Select a spoon with 2 tablespoon capacity, more or less as desired.

Test first with a trial teaspoon of batter on the griddle. Pancake should become a rich, dark brown in a few seconds. If not, the griddle needs to be hotter. The trial pancake should be no more than 1/8 inch thick.

The griddle should never smoke. If it does at any point, turn heat down immediately.

Once you start production, pancakes should take 10 to 15 seconds each side.
On Top

Melted butter and maple syrup are the classic.

For a change try lingonberry preserves topped with yogurt or sour cream.
Ricotta Pancakes

These are very delicate. Ricotta replaces half the flour in the recipe above, as well as all the sugar and butter.

Serves 4

Flour, 1 cup
Baking powder, 2 teaspoons
Salt to taste
Mixing bowl

Ricotta, 1 cup
Milk, 1 1/2 cup
Eggs, 2
Water
Another mixing bowl
To mix batter

Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a wire whisk.

To lighten the ricotta, whip it in a food processor. (Or push through a sieve.)

Place the ricotta in a second bowl. Stir in a little milk. When absorbed into the paste, add more milk. Proceed gradually so that milk is well mixed into the ricotta.

In a third bowl, beat the egg with the whisk 20 to 30 seconds. Stir the beaten egg into the ricotta mixture.

Pour milk mixture onto the dry ingredients. Mix them together as gently as possible. Avoid kneading the dough, which will toughen it.

Thin with water as necessary. Batter should not be stiff, but like a creamy soup.

(May be done ahead of time to this point.)

Proceed as above for thin pancakes. As the ricotta cakes are light and delicate, they cannot be very large.

1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tblsp white sugar
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
2 or 3 Tblsp melted butter

mix well, and cook in a greased iron skillet- or any skillet. Sometimes I like to add applesauce or bananas to my batter as well as some cinnamon (or fresh berries). If you don't have milk, you can also use beer. it gets really fluffy but it does taste good! I always buy my real maple syrup from Bob's Sugar house in Maine. They are the best!!!!

The boxed mix is good enough that I don't think it's worth the trouble to make them from scratch. My homemade batter usually gets too thick anyway, so I just doctor up the mix. I spruce them up by adding a little vanilla extract, chopped toasted pecans, or some fresh fruit. Chocolate chips would be good, too!
