Pancake recipes please......

[carole]

I have for some reason become addicted to making pancakes, first I started off with a Edmonds mix, the cheats way, as I am hopeless at making pikelets or Pancakes, but as I have a new non-stick pan (That was half the problem) they turned out not too bad, then I decided to follow the Edmonds recipe book and make my own , they were not bad either, however I figured why not ask the experts here on Pancakes, my American friends, for recipes and hints on making excellent pancakes, my first one is always a flop, I think I don't have the pan hot enough and then the rest are ok.

So any help or advice much appreciated, thanks.:)

I'm not a big fan of pancakes, but when I do make them I just use a mix.
I did make pancakes a few weeks ago and rather than using syrup I put peach pie filling on top. They were yummy!

Yes the first time I used a pancake mix too, it had maple syrup included, I never used to like maple syrup, but now I am hooked, but it's quite expensive, so I have opted for golden syrup, which will suffice instead of.:)

I cheat I use any mix from the store but I put a few drops of Vanilla extract and a sprinkle of cinammon in the mix...

I have a scrumptious recipe for pancakes, but they are baked in cast iron frying pans. They are a favorite of mine during cooler weather...wouldn't dream of even turning on the stove today! :rolleyes: They are Puffy Baked German pancakes...and out of this world! For regular pancakes I use Bisquick which may not be available where you are, but they are tasty too. I'm partial to waffles myself, and love to add chopped pecans to the Bisquick batter. :p YUM!
My tattered well used recipe for the baked pancakes is....
1 cup all purpose flour
1 TBS. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 TBS. butter cut in bits
powdered sugar if desired
I love adding a splash of vanilla extract to batter (real stuff)
This is the base for the batter, but to make it to die for, I core, peel, and slice up good baking apples! Other fruit like peaches sounds yummy as well! ;)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Heat 2-9 inch (sorry..I'm not into metric) cast iron frying pans (without wood handles)
Heavy cake pans work as well as long as they are sturdy and conduct heat well.
Mix the flour, sugar & salt. Add milk and eggs, blending only until well combined.
Take the pans from the oven. In each put 2 TBS. butter. Swirl to coat pans. Divide the batter equally beween the 2 pans, pouring it in quickly. If apples are desired, have this prepared ahead of time, and place slices across top of batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar if desired, and return pans to oven.
Bake until golden brown and puffy (about 20 minutes). :p Enjoy!

Gosh Thanks everyone, QSA and Kittycats _' delights your pancakes sound awesome, I am going to give them a try, my recipe was just plain old flour, egg , milk and baking powder, I had a feeling you folks would have something much more appertising, I like the sound of the apple and honey ones hmmm,although we donot have apple pie spice here, I wonder what I could use instead, this is making me hungry thinking about them.:D

Cinnimon and perhaps a little nutmeg should be alright......

LOL.....exactly, cinnamon and touch of nutmeg. I never used the apple pie spice. I never actually looked for it and of course I just copied the recipes as I have them on the computer. I should have read them over and edited that. sorry. I hope you like them.

[carole]

They sound delicious, I was thinking an all spice might do the trick, but yes cinnamon and nutmeg, now that I can do, they all sound yummy, I had best not try too many, or the kilos I have just lost will be stacking themselves back on again, sigh,:eek:

My first one doesn't turn out best either! It's because the pan isn't hot enough. I cheat and use mix and water (never milk:o ) and add things like chocolate chips or chopped strawberries. I like making a circle of scrambled egg and a sausage pattie and two pancakes for egg and sausage sandwiches. I made them from scratch once with egg flour and water but I don't use exact measurements, just until it has the right consistency. They turned out pretty good. I don't know how anybody can use milk in pancakes, it makes them taste horrible.
