Pancakes with butter and maple syrup! I would say that they make a great breakfast, but I had them for lunch today. Any meal can have pancakes if you believe.
This recipe is very solid and has been tested many times. These pancakes can be folded around turkey sausage or covered in syrup. They have a really good structure and texture too.
I included a doubled recipe on the chart because that's what I make most days. Making the single recipe makes my family cranky and starts arguments. So pick the one you need to avoid family squabbling.
First thing, you measure the dry ingredients and whisk them.
Then you whisk together the wet ingredients. In a different bowl. With a different whisk.
OK, you could probably put them directly into the dry ingredients and be fine, but this way is more fun. Also, egg yolks are just easier to break without flour in the way.
Then you pour the wet ingredients in and whisk all the lumps out.
It is very important that after you have de-lumped the batter, you let it sit for five solid minutes without touching it. This resting period lets it form an internal structure so it will fluff like a pancake instead of oozing like goop.
Knowing when to flip a pancake is a skill acquired through practice. There should be a good number of bubbles on the surface and a dry edge starting around the rim.
The second side cooks faster than the first. So flip it after the top fluffs up and you can see a hint of brown along the bottom.
After the big pancakes, I do a few rounds of little ones.
They take the same time to cook as the big ones because they're the same thickness. But you do have to watch out for uneven heating on the pan. For example, my griddle doesn't actually run the heating coil under the center, so a pancake there always cooks up slowest.
And they're finished and gorgeous!
Full disclosure, that picture at the top is my mother's stack. Eating that much sugar at once would make me really sick for the rest of the day. I eat two big pancakes wrapped around turkey sausage and then have two small pancakes with a bit of syrup drizzled on top (and a lot of milk for extra protein, sugar overload migraines are terrible). Her stack just made a better picture.
