How do i make pancakes?

Question

Every time i try there are either over sized or not done!

Answer 1

PANCAKES

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 3/4 cups milk, *see note
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.
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).

Makes about 18 four inch pancakes.

Answer 2

I use a small soup ladle. About a quarter cup of pancake batter. You can buy a quarter cup scoop at any kitchen store. As for being under cooked, make sure there are no more bubble coming through the batter before you flip them. Take a peek without flipping them over for the second side. Pancakes actually are tricky and take some practice.

Answer 4

Banana Pancake Jamie Oliver
Serves 6

3 large free-range or organic eggs
• 115g plain flour
• 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
• 140ml milk
• salt
• 2 knobs of butter
• 3 tablespoons caster sugar
• 4 bananas
• crème fraîche

These are for a late breakfast or Sunday brunch. Separate the eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another.

Combine the plain flour, baking powder and milk with the egg yolks and mix until it forms a smooth, thick batter. Whisk the whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks. Fold the whites carefully into the batter – it is now ready to use.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. Loosen with a spatula and turn or flip the pancake over. Continue frying until golden.

Melt the butter and sugar in a separate pan over a very low heat until it forms a caramel sauce – this should take about 3 minutes.

Peel the bananas and cut them lengthways. Add them to the pan and cook gently until they are golden, turning them after a few minutes. Serve the bananas on the pancakes, topped with a good spoonful of crème fraîche.

If you want them for pudding, serve them with a couple of scoops of good vanilla ice cream.

Answer 5

Use a measuring cup
all your pancakes will
be the same size.
Then it is easier to
judge when they are
done. Don't get in a
rush to flip them over.
Make sure your fire
is not to high. It just
takes a little practice.
Smaller pancakes,
larger spatula, makes
for easier turning.

Answer 6

Wait till they bubble on the outer edge then flip them over, then use your spatula to raise the edge to see if the other sides done. I know that, my biggest problem is flipping them over, I'll get batter everywhere...
