Pancake Basics
• Since pancake batter does not need a lot of mixing, over-
mixing is a frequent mistake. The dry ingredients and wet
ingredients should be stirred together until just mixed.
A few lumps will remain. If your batter looks too thick you
may add more liquid. Using the liquid that is called for in
the recipe, add only one Tablespoon at a time until the
batter reaches the desired consistency.
• A properly preheated griddle is also very important to
perfect pancakes. So don’t skip the preheating.
• Once you have poured batter onto the griddle, the
pancakes should only be turned once. When the top of the
pancake is covered with bubbles it is ready to be turned.
The second side will not take as long to cook as the first.
Make one batch of basic pancakes from your favorite scratch
recipe or a boxed mix. Preheat griddle according to directions.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the griddle. Sprinkle with one
of the following mix-ins; then turn and cook until done. Use
the suggested topping or regular syrup.
Mix-Ins: Toppings:
Mini-Chocolate Chips Whipped Topping
Chopped Pecans Maple Syrup
Chopped Peanuts Warmed Grape Jelly
Chopped Bananas Strawberry Preserves
Cooked, Crumbled Bacon Scrambled Eggs
