Americas Best Pancakes or Waffles from That Chicken Ranch

Submitted by That Napa Chicken R

"These are so great to eat! Very fluffy and inexpensive. I make the whole batch and freeze them 3-4 to a small sandwich baggie. Then in the morning I pop them in the micro (I know I shouldn't do it in the bag but I am lazy...) for about 1 minute. Then I either top with applesauce or pour homemade fruit syrup on top for a quick nutritious breakfast!"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar works also!)
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted (use 5 tablespoons for waffles)
• 2 cups flour (I often use 1/2 whole wheat & 1/2 white flour)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Whisk milk and lemon juice in a medium bowl and set aside to let thicken.
2. Whisk the egg and cooled melted butter into the milk mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients together - flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
4. Create a little "well" in the center of dry ingredient bowl and pour the milky mixture in the center.
5. Whisk gently until just combined, there should still be lumps. Stirring too much makes the cakes tough, you want them light and airy!
6. Heat a pan, griddle or waffle maker to medium heat and coat with butter or vegetable oil.
7. For Pancakes: Pour pancake mixture by 1/4 cups and heat until large bubbles come to the top (about 1-2 minutes).
8. Flip the pancake and wait another 1-2 minutes.
9. For Waffles: Experiment with your waffle maker settings- you want a soft brown exterior with a lightly done interior- don't overcook!

Since it was 2 cups of milk, I used 2 tablespoon of vinegar. 1 tbs per cup like when I need buttermilk for a recipe. The pancakes had a great taste. Thanks That Napa Chicken Ranch :) Made for Alphabet chef tag game

Very good pancakes Grace. So easy and like you said so inexpensive. I used oil instead of butter and they came out light and fluffy. Also, the consistency of the batter is perfect..not too thick or too thin. I used 1/2 cup per pancake and got exactly 7 pancakes out of it... My family likes big pancake :) Thanks for posting the recipe.
