Pancake Recipe from Scratch

Today I will tell you how to make pancakes from scratch.Following this recipe should be pretty straight forward. There is of course a little wiggle room to add flavors that you might enjoy like vanilla, orange zest, maple syrup, etc. Try sticking to the recipe at first so that you can get the texture and consistency right, then you can begin to experiment a bit. This could easily become your go-to Sunday brunch recipe for a pancake batter that can become any type of pancake you can think up. Good luck. Remember, nothing tastes worse than a burnt pancake, so keep your eye on the heat and don't be afraid to flip or lower the heat of things seem to be getting to brown. So let us start with our pancake recipe from scratch.

Pancake Recipe from Scratch. 

Ingredients

1 egg

1 cup of milk

1 cup of flour

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

1 tablespoon of melted butter

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

Ensure that your pancake batter is thick enough so that it is able to cook through as well as contain the carbon dioxide bubbles. For maximum bubbling power, I normally allow my batter to rest for about 20-30 minutes before I cook it. Unless I really have to, I also try to avoid preparing this recipe for a group, seeing as how pancakes have to be eaten right off the griddle.

1. To begin with this pancake batter recipe, first place the dry ingredients into a deep bowl. They dry ingredients include the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. I prefer using a deep narrow bowl as this is ideal for trapping the bubbles of carbon dioxide while I'm stirring in the wet ingredients. Read on to find out why this is so important.
2. Quickly stir in the wet ingredients which include the milk, egg, and melted butter. If the batter is too thick, use more milk. Remember that the secret of great tasting pancakes is to avoid stirring too much. Because the batter gives off carbon dioxide, the pancakes are able to come out airy and light. However, when you over-stir the batter, the carbon dioxide escapes and the pancakes do not turn out well.
