What is the most important ingredient in pancakes?

How do I make my own pancake mix?

Perk up boxed pancake mix by adding a dash of baking soda, lemon juice, vanilla and sugar. For maple flavor, add a small splash of maple syrup to the pancake batter. For a sweet-and-spicy touch, sprinkle some vanilla and cinnamon into the batter.

How do you make pancakes in a frying pan?

Grease a griddle or nonstick pan with cooking spray or a little vegetable oil. Heat pan on medium for about 10 minutes. Pour batter to form pancakes of whatever size you like. Cook first side until bubbles form on top, about three minutes; then flip and cook other side until it, too, is brown, about two minutes.

What does milk do to pancakes?

Flavor aside, the purpose of milk in a pancake recipe is to dissolve the flour and other ingredients and to provide the liquid structure. This means that any liquid will do the trick.

Can I use milk instead of water for pancake mix?

Can I make pancakes in a regular pan?

Can I make pancakes without a griddle?

If you don’t have an electric skillet or griddle, use a heavy cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Let the batter rest 5 to 15 minutes before cooking. For really light and fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs. Add the egg yolk(s) where the recipe calls for eggs to be added in.
