    Written recipe if anyone needs it!
    The Best Pancakes You Will Ever Make
    By Chef Frank Proto from Epicurious
    Dry Ingredients:
    3 cups all purpose flour
    ¼ cup sugar
    1 ½ tsp salt
    1 tbsp baking powder
    1 ½ tsp baking soda
    Wet Ingredients:
    2 ¼ cups milk
    ¼ cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (I found regular white vinegar also works)
    3 eggs
    Instructions:
    1. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until combined.
    2. In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients until combined.
    3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula until loosely combined (around 20-25 times). Lumps will form and that is ok. Do not overmix.
    4. Heat up a griddle (or a frying pan on medium heat). Add a heaping dollop of salted whipped butter (I used regular butter) on the griddle until melted. Scoop the batter in a large spoon and drop them in the griddle. Do not stir the batter!
    5. Flip the pancakes once the bubbles are popping through and the batter is slightly set. Do not push down the pancake with your spatula! The pancakes are done if the surface springs back when gently pushed down.
    6. Serve pancakes with maple syrup and salted whipped butter.

    My Dad made the best pancakes we have ever eaten. Anything he made was in his head. I tried to match his but needed measurements, just did not happen. I have been on the hunt for a long time to find some that are remotely close to his. These cakes are as close as I am going to get, with a bit more of my homemade vanilla they will be spot on. We ate way to many, as we are unable to have the pleasure of indulging in Dads cakes again, it has been way to long. This means so much to us. Thank you :)

    The "faux buttermilk", as my family calls it, works brilliantly. I've used it in pancakes, biscuits, and lots of other recipes that call for buttermilk, and I've never been able to tell a difference. Just needs about 1 tbsp vinegar per 1 cup of milk (whole milk is best, but even skim works if you cut back the vinegar a little). You can use white vinegar instead of cider vinegar if you want, the difference there is minimal. The only thing is I like to let the vinegar sit in the milk for a minute or two to develop before mixing it into other ingredients.

      Yeah, I used skim milk with the "correct" amount of vinegar and the pancakes tasted like vinegar--inedible. Since I have even less use for whole milk than buttermilk, I'll experiment with less vinegar next time. Or lemon juice, which I'd guess would also work as an acid on the milk. Also didn't let milk/vinegar mixture sit for a while.

    • @aeonise
      @aeonise Рік тому +1

      @@heinrichgerhardt6119 I haven't used skim for it in ages, but I recall having to reduce the vinegar to 1.5 tbsp per cup of milk, maybe a bit less even. It does take some experimentation to find the balance that works right for you since things like altitude can further impact how fast the vinegar and baking soda react. And definitely try adding the vinegar and letting it sit 1-2mins before stirring it into the milk. I don't know exactly why that helps, but it always seems to make my pancakes a little better. Good luck!

    *I love that all of these measurements are easily divisible by 3 - perfect for one person. I'm having pancakes for dinner! Thanks for this recipe. Easier than mine :)
    *Note: I made these, and made 2 mistakes; 1) I should have added blueberries and 2) I should have used my slightly more difficult, but significantly better, recipe. If you're going to use this recipe, separate the egg and whip the white until stiff peaks form. Then, fold it into to the rest of mixture. Not only does this make light, fluffy, and tall pancakes, but the butter on the griddle makes the edges delicately crisp and flavorful. But seriously - blueberries added after they are on the griddle kicks any pancakes up to world-class deliciousness!

I don't go to the grocery store very often, and I would always have either not enough milk, or milk that spoiled, and I was tired of it. I mix the buttermilk powder into my dry ingredients and the corresponding amount of water into my wet ingredients, it works perfectly and nothing ever spoils or runs out at the worst moment. Love it.

    Dear chef, as a maple syrup producer and maple lover I love the way you eat your pancakes, one suggestion I have learned to do is once I have the butter in between each layer I enjoy cutting the stack into at least quarters before pour syrup over them. This way that syrup runs down into the stack and starts absorbing into my bite size pieces. Thanks for the great recipe! Definitely going to start making my pancakes this way. More butter more better!

    From an oldster who traveled and had 5🌟meals, best pancakes ever had a pinch of nutmeg (1/8th teaspoon) in batter. I bugged the chef to tell me his secret. Too much makes the batter bitter, don’t cheat (his words). Maple syrup compliments the light hint of mystery spice. Been making them for just shy of 50 yrs.

    Suggestion for everyone about the buttermilk alternative. Instead of using milk+ vinegar which only mimics the acidity of the buttermilk but not the taste. Make a mixture of 1/3 yogurt (or sour cream) and 2/3 water. This will make something with way more similar flavor but with more common ingredients. 😊
