Well…you simply cannot go wrong with a good sourdough starter….
Of course, getting your hands on a good sourdough starter first is the trick…
Barring that, I was always slightly partial to ginger bread pancakes as a kid…basically just regular sweet pancakes with a bit of fresh pureed ginger and molasses added to the recipe.

Replace pancakes with waffles, and replace cooking with IHOP, and you’ve got a win.

Not hard chocolate chip pancakes with grand marnier cream sauce.
Basically make buttermilk pancakes out of flour, baking soda, eggs, butter and buttermilk. Heat cream put in sugar and then add liquour. Tasty stuff.

Oven baked Apple German Pancake
2 Tbs butter
2 lg eggs
1/2c ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1/2c milk
2 Tbs packed brown sugar
1 thinly sliced baking apple (raisins, nuts, cinnamon, optional)
preheat oven to 400 degress F
Melt butter in black iron skillet (what I use) or pie pan, and brush evenly on bottom and sides
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter.
Lay apple slices in bottom of skillet.
Whisk eggs and add remaining ingredients.
Mix just until blended
Pour batter over fruit/sugar and bake for 30 minutes.
Ok, this is not a ‘pancake’ in the traditional American sense (hence the name, German Pancake), but it’s killer good and quick and easy.

When I was seven, I got up every Sunday morning early and made pancakes for the whole family, from scratch. No pancake mix, just flour, salt, eggs, milk, baking soda, that sort of thing. They were world class pancakes too. My grandmother taught me the recipe. Log Cabin syrup, butter, and fresh fruit, plus coffee for the grownups.
I worked as a fry cook during college years and flipped a few zillion more flapjacks at Big Boy and other places.
Come on over for breakfast any time.

Make 1.25c clabbered milk:
1.25c milk – room temperature
juice from 1/2 a lemon
Mix together and let sit while putting together the rest of the ingredients.
1.25c flour
1 T sugar
1 t baking soda
1 heaping t baking powder
1/2 t salt
spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. I use Penzey’s Pumpkin Pie spice mix
3T butter melted, cooled
1 egg
1t vanilla
Mix dry ingredients, add clabbered milk and other wet ingredients. Cook and enjoy. The milk soured with lemon juice is a buttermilk substitute. I hardly ever have buttermilk, but I always have milk and lemons.

I don’t make ’em, but the buckwheat pancakes that they make at the maple syrup festival at one of our county parks every spring are the most delicious food you’ve ever eaten. Seriously.

Gotta lose the raisins, though.

No pancakes for me, thanks.
How about a chorizo and scrambled egg burrito, including a reasonable amount of Tapatio or Cholula hot sauce?

Make sure the griddle is hot. Don’t be impatient and start cooking them early. They’re never as good as the ones cooked on a hot griddle.

RE: John Cole’s “One day, everything will be socialist” Post last eve… When I saw the title of that post, I got a feeling our host, will be known in the not-too-distant future as:

If this country can’t find a way to inject a little basic human decency, honesty and common sense back into it’s capitalism, we’re well and truly screwed as a country. The last time a civilization worshiped the golden calf to this extent and with this level of intensity it didn’t turn out too well from what I’ve heard…
I just hope it doesn’t go to his head.

The day I learned about baking soda in the refrigerator was a day I made pancakes.
I’d started making a batch, and couldn’t find any on the shelf.
“Eh,” I thought, “No problem. I saw a box in the refrigerator.”
Yep, there it was. Pulled it out, scraped some loose (I figured it was just the cold making it stiff). Made the pancakes…
The faces of my family – particularly my brother and sister – were priceless. The taste on my tongue was less so.
My mother then explained to her ten year old son why the box was in the refrigerator and that I really shouldn’t use it for cooking.
someguy
RareSanity – don’t sweat it. If the Democrats won’t save the country from Republicans, maybe Castro, Gadaffi and Ahmedinejad will. Taken together their speeches are a pretty clear vote that the rest of the world has no place for our bullying, along with our side projects like looting middle east oil and something or other from Central America. Not sure what yet, I’ll let you know when I figure it out… local stocks of national sovereignty and human rights, perhaps.
They like our pancake recipes though.

dmsilev
A friend of mine told me of the time that he wanted to make pancakes for breakfast. For whatever reason, he was too lazy to stir the batter by hand (and yes, that’s pretty lazy), and he couldn’t seem to find the mixer. What he could find, however, was a power drill with a 1″ spade bit.
Worked fine, until the drill bit did what it was designed to do and punctured the bottom of the bowl…

God I love that dictionary. That and the thread on it from yesterday are so funny.

I make buttermilk pancakes (or waffles), but instead of buttermilk I use a mixture of 1/3 plain yogurt and 2/3 milk. Be sure to include any whey that has separated out of the yogurt.
UncommonSense
1 1/2 cups all-purpouse flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups Half & Half
Preheat griddle to 325 degrees.
Separate the eggs and beat the whites until they are stiff. Add yolks and vanilla to dry ingredients in large bowl. Pour in Half & Half. Fold in egg whites.
Mix batter only until large lumps disappear. Do not mix until completely free of small lumps. Overmixing makes pancakes chewy, rather than light and fluffy.
When griddle reaches 325 degrees, spray light layer of non-stick cooking spray.
Ladle batter onto griddle. Flip over when top is completely covered with bubbles. Do not press down after flipping. Remove pancake from griddle when you gently lift the edge and see that the second side is brown.
Microwave full bottle of pure maple syrup for 90 seconds. Drown stack of pancakes in warm syrup and butter.
Understand, finally, the meaning of life.
UncommonSense
Oh, yeah.
Remove the cap on the maple syrup before hitting the Start button on the microwave.

@burnspbesq: I’d like to stay and discuss this, but suddenly have the urge to go to the local Mex market and get some chorizo. Just so you know; I blame you! jaja!
Skepticat
On a long-ago trip to California, the first day I had excellent pancakes in a standard-one-each restaurant and decided that would be my breakfast every day of the trip. In Summerland, a friend and I stopped at a little place that served breakfast on the porch by the ocean, and I choose pancakes with fresh fruit topping. Out came the pancakes, light and fluffy, perfectly browned and topped with… a single fresh, nicely polished Red Delicious apple.
R-Jud
@Doctor Science: Seconding the yogurt/milk mixture. I get a nice fluffy ‘cake if I use greek-style yogurt.
Normally, breakfast for me is a nut bar (roasted almonds, walnuts, seeds, and maple syrup) and 2 carrots, 2 apples, 2 cups of spinach and a lime whacked through the juicer. But on Saturdays I make pancakes. Last week we had cornmeal pancakes:
1.5 c. cornmeal
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 TBSP sugar
1.5 c. milk
3/4 c. yogurt
2 large eggs
3 TBSP butter
Heat your skillet (cast-iron is best IME). Combine all dry ingredients. Beat together yogurt, milk, and eggs until well blended. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, stir until moistened and lumpy. Melt the butter, stir into mixture. Drop onto the skillet and cook until bubbles appear at edges, flip and cook for a further 1-2 minutes max. If the batter is stiff, just add more milk by 1/4 cups until you get the consistency you want. These are a denser pancake. They are terrific with raspberry jam.
P.S.: Make the same recipe with just 1 cup milk and you have a pretty darn good cornbread batter. Heat a cast-iron pan in an oven at 450 F coat with some melted butter, make up the batter, pour it in the hot pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes. You get a beautiful crust on the bottom this way.

In my family, pancakes have been a traditional Christmas morning thing for a long time. Nothing special, other than making sure to use genuine maple syrup instead of the tinted corn syrup or whatever they try to pass off as pancake syrup these days. For a griddle, the tool of choice was a waffle iron with reversible plates, which opened up flat.
And based on what I’ve been seeing from Athens, I’m more and more certain that the good old U.S. of A. is the only nation on earth where people might call Barack Obama a social…ist without erupting into laughter two heartbeats later.
As an aside, I’m apparently being asked to vote in the coming snap election on October 4, and I think I can feel the libertarians’ pain about not having a party to vote for. The New Democrats (conservative) don’t seem to be governing worth a damn, PASOK (Panhellenic Social…ists) screwed things up just as much their last time up and don’t seem to be much of a change, SYRIZA (Radical Left) are rather too isolationist for a half-Yankee half-breed, LAOS (Radical Right) has way too much of a theocon taste to it, and KKE (Commies) … no. Just no.
Lots of countries need an Official Monster Raving Loony Party, I think. Including Greece.
(Including the US as well, but from where I stand, it looks like they’ve got a Loony Party already. They just call themselves the Republicans.)
2th&nayle
@R-Jud: I second the yogurt/milk combo for cornbread. Also, for a little extra crunch in your cornbread crust, dust the bottom of your skillet with a pinch or two of raw cornmeal and let it fried just a little before adding the batter. Really adds the extra texture.
Roger Moore
@Violet:
The trick is to cook some bacon on the griddle (or in the pan) where you’re going to cook the pancakes while you’re making the batter. That gets the griddle nicely warm, greases it, and makes sure that the grease you use tastes good. I can’t recommend this technique enough.
The Saff
Love the dictionary and the open threads with the suggestions for said dictionary. I’ve been reading Balloon Juice since April and the comments/acronyms make more sense to me now. I was able to figure out some based on context but felt too stupid to ask. Blogs do have a whole different language, don’t they?
And now I’m hungry for pancakes.
Phaedrus
Take your time and you can make anything with a pancake. My kids try and push me – Snails, turtles… we’re well beyond that now – Butterflies, giraffes, cars. If you really want to stretch, make a bird and have the kids guess the species (something crested, like a stellar’s jay, is always good). Timing is everything. Place the outline down first, on a hot griddle. While that cooks you can fill in, this is how you make the spots on a butterfly’s wings. Octopus are great, but it’s hard not to leave a leg on the griddle.
Persia
@LoveMonkey: Log Cabin syrup is blasphemy. Real maple all the way!
My favorite pancakes have raspberries and chocolate chips. If you buy frozen raspberries they’re not too pricey.
Roger Moore
My favorite recipe for pancakes (based on one from Nancy Silverton):
9 oz sourdough starter
1 egg
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp walnut oil
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 strip bacon
Cook bacon in the frying pan. Remove, but leave the fat. Mix other ingredients and wait for the mixture to increase in volume. Cook as usual for pancakes.

Great story! Reminds me of my ex-husband who saw me trying to defrost the ice-encrusted freezer compartment of our fridge. I was using tried-and-true pans of hot water and gently prying off the sheets of ice as they thawed — a messy and time-consuming operation.
My engineer husband’s solution? Plug in our electric frying pan, stick the f.p. In the freezer, turn the control to high, close freezer door, then wander off and not bother to mention it to me.
Have you ever seen a refrigerator-freezer that is totally melted on the inside? Festoons, rivulets and molten puddles of plastic. The landlord was NOT happy.

@Persia:
Agreed, entirely. I get enough corn syrup from everything else in the American supermarket; I don’t need it on my pancakes. Gross.

“Lighter” cottage-cheese pancakes (makes 8 medium -5″)
Beat together:
1/2 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup flour (white or whole-wheat)
16 oz. nonfat cottage cheese (with or w/o pineapple)
let sit at least 45 min. in refrigerator to set.
Cook on well-oiled griddle about 3-4 min. a side.
For whatever reason, the texture of these comes out virtually identical to flour-based pancakes; only they are much lower in carbs. Note, though: if you like fruit in your pancakes, put it on top, not in the batter: which is why I use pineapple cottage-cheese (fruit is minimal and chopped very fine): too much stuff mixed in will make it cook poorly.
Surly Duff
I always fold in two egg whites into my regular pancake batter to make the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
Since I am a southerner, I will also suggest you try sweet potato pancakes –
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
Comrade Darkness
I’m particularly fond of the Dutch Pannekoeken which are often savory. You lay down ham slices and pour the batter over that, flip it and then melt cheese on as well. It’s culinarily about halfway between a crepe and an american pancake. Very thin when done right. You’ll note it has no rising agent, so it has to be. Also will support onions, or mushrooms. But it really really has to have the proper stroop though. Which I have to order, but it’s cheap.

Buckwheat Pancakes
These cakes come out like yeasty crepes. I make a full recipe and freeze the leftovers for other mornings. They have no milk, flour or eggs, so they may be good to serve to people who are avoiding those things.
The night before you plan to make the cakes, dissolve:
in
stir in
cover and leave to rise overnight. the next morning, dissolve
in
and stir into the buckwheat mixture. heat a heavy griddle over medium heat and grease it. Pour out 1/4 cup of the batter at a time and spread it to about 1/8 inches thickness. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and then turn the cake over. cook until the other side is lightly browned. repeat until all the batter is gone. Serve immediately.
Now lets see how the blockquote function works.
Svensker
@Doctor Science:
Me, too. Always have yoghurt on hand, never have buttermilk. Pancakes are always tender and have just a slight tang that is delicious with the syrup.
I like thin pancakes, but I don’t add extra liquid. Instead, I plop the batter in the hot buttered pan and then spread the batter, quick, as thin as I can get it. By the time I’ve done that, it’s about time to flip the pancake.
My big ol’ cast iron pan works the best. A nice even heat once it gets to the right temp.
RedKitten
@cleek:
I think not, sir. We get our maple syrup locally, thankyouverymuch.
I went out for brekkie with my mom last week and got blueberry pancakes – something I hadn’t had since before I got pregnant, and they were AWESOME! This thread is inspiring, though — maybe I’ll make pancakes this weekend.

@Svensker: Oh yes, nothing beats a well-seasoned cast-iron pan and real butter when it comes to giving pancakes those lovely crispy edges.

Buttermilk pancakes. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Make a single plate size pancake and smear it with real butter. Then top with a fried egg or two and lots of hot green salsa like Mrs. Renfro’s. I don’t care for syrup.
Food is merely a vehicle for condiments. And to think: Moses had only ten condiments. Bourbon is a condiment, BTW. Unless it’s a main course.

I learned this on the Colorado River: start with any pancake mix. Add a handful of Bisquik, or whatever else that’s powdery and flour-y (but edible!) in the cabinets. Then use beer and milk instead of water to make the batter. Add in a bunch of shelled pecans, and an apple chopped into small pieces. Makes really good pancakes!
