Pancakes are my favorite breakfast food. Of course pancakes are good any time of day. I have a basic pancake recipe where I mix flour, milk, sugar, baking powder, and eggs together in my food processor. It is what you add to the pancakes that make the difference. Sometimes I add blue berries to the batter. I like to process them in the food processor so the blue berries are not lumping in the pancakes when I cook them. But either way works.
You can use frozen blue berries. They are usually less expensive and simply let them defrost before adding them to the batter. You can add pumpkin to the batter for some nice autumn pancakes. Use of can of pumpkin. Do not use the can of pumpkin pie mix. The regular canned pumpkin works better.
I sometimes make sweet potato pancakes. You can buy sweet potato in the can with its own liquid. You can add a little of the juice from the can but not too much or else the batter will be too watery.
You can also place strawberries in the batter and process them so they are ground up. Strawberries are too large and will not cook well in the pancake unless they are processed in the batter.
Now I like to cook my pancakes on a griddle that I have brushed with a little cooking oil. I heat the griddle and then coat the surface with cooking oil using a pastry brush I paint the surface with oil. I then drop a few drops of batter on the griddle to make sure it is hot enough. If the drops start cooking I scrape them aside and start pouring the batter onto the griddle.
I pour about a five inch circle of batter. I turn them when the bubbles have formed but before they have all popped on the surface. If you like your pancakes more cooked you can wait until all the bubbles have popped. Flip the pancake and cook for about forty more seconds. Longer if you like your pancakes more cooked.
Transfer the pancake to your plate and cover to keep warm. I like two pancakes on my plate. I also like my syrup warm. I pour my syrup into a bowl and place it near the stove top flame so it warms up. I also place some butter into the syrup so it melts into the syrup. Use real maple syrup on your pancakes. If you read the ingredients of the most syrup you buy in the grocery store, especially the generic or store brand, you will find it is all corn syrup with food coloring or caramel coloring.
Be fair to yourself and your pancakes. Get real maple syrup. You may have to to to a specialty store or shop on the internet. But do what you have to do to top your pancake recipe with real maple syrup. May you enjoy your next plate of pancakes. I think I will cook some up right now.
