**BASIC PANCAKES, FEEDS 4-6 PEOPLE**
2 tbsp (28g) butter
2 tbsp (25g) sugar
1 egg (just use the yolk if you're making a half-batch)
2 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
1 3/4 cups (400 ml) milk or buttermilk
1 tsp (6g) salt
1 heaped tbsp (16g) baking powder [or 1 tsp (6g) baking soda + 2 tsp (8g) baking powder if using buttermilk - this is different from what I say in the video, but it's better]
1.5-2.5 cups (200-300g) all-purpose flour
Additional butter for the pan
Melt the butter without getting it too hot, mix in the sugar, then beat the egg in thoroughly. Mix in the vanilla, milk/buttermilk, salt and baking powder/soda. Start mixing in a conservative amount of flour, then keep mixing until you get the thickness you want. The thicker the batter, the thicker the pancake. Be sure to not over-mix - the batter should be full of small lumps. Let the batter rest a few minutes while you heat up your pan.
Heat your cooking surface of choice (I use nonstick) to a low-moderate heat and smear it with butter. When the butter is just starting to brown, pour on the pancakes. When there are lots of bubbles on the surface, flip the pancakes and cooking until they look cooked, then cook them another minute before removing to a cooling rack.

Yeah, always give it a bit to sit. That is the reason why the first one usually turns out bad. The batter didn't have enough time to settle and bind.

[@AlcaHolicGamer]

For anyone wanting an even coloring on the pancake with no "leoparding", use a very light brushing of vegatable oil or olive oil on the pan. Butter creates lighter spots while a thin coating of oil creates the look of a perfectly brown pancake.

My mom taught me a recipe for pancakes that I still know by heart to this day, a decade or two later. It's crazy simple to scale up or down depending on how much food you need. It's pretty thin compared to those in the video but that's what I like. Usually make pretty big but thin ones and roll them up, sometimes with delicious fillings. X eggs X dl of flour 2X dl of milk (You can even go X dl of milk and X dl of water of you're low on milk, or cash) That's the basic formula. Everything else is gravy in my book. My usuals include X tablespoons of sugar and a pinch or three of salt. Maybe some vanillasugar if I'm feeling nostalgic (this was the addition that made sure that no other pancakes could (can) compete, along with a sublime mastery of pancake-making honed to a razor's edge by years of experience). On the somewhat laborious cooking process and storing of finished pancakes during it. When it's just me I usually eat them standing in the kitchen, cooking and eating combined into one activity. Nowadays that's one of the charms of pancake-making to me. Also don't underestimate skipping the sugar and filling them/serving them with something savory for something that's less like candy. TLDR: Thinner pancakes X eggs X dl of flour 2X dl of milk. Everything else is pretty much just for flavor. Go nuts! Eat them with something savory like salmon or mincemeat for a surprisingly nice change of pace.

I noticed that American pancakes are very similar to Russian aladushki. In Sweden (and most of Europe), we tend to make pancakes thin, with no baking powder and a 1 part flour, 1 part eggs and 2 parts milk recipe, resulting in a thin, crispy pancake while cooked. Works with the same condiments, Canadian maple syrup or sweetened condensated milk being personal favorites.

[@BakaGaijinSama]

As a British person who has never made american style pancakes before, this was very helpful. I was surprised by how much the lumpiness of the batter turned out to not matter at all, and how completely different they turned out from what I'm used to. I probably prefer them if anything.

My home tip: If you like your pancakes thick like I do, turn down the heat to medium, or around to where the butter just barely sizzles. Let it cook for slightly longer at a lower temp to the same effect (surface bubbles) and you'll never have under done middles and overdone faces. That pan was way too hot for that size pancake, imo.

[@charlesvandergrift3126]

I love the way you cook man. Real world, no pretentiousness, and approximate amounts of ingredients. Not making perfect the enemy of good. Also, testing the temperature of the cooking surface with water droplets is the same way my grandmother taught me to do it. When I made pancakes for my friends, my culinary school graduate sister looked at me like I had 3 heads when I told her how I do it. And then they came out perfect.

6:03 Here is the dutch way of keeping your pancakes warm: you get a pan and fill it halfway with water. Bring to a boil and put a flat dinner plate on top of the pan. Keep the water simmering inside the pan. This plate will get very hot. You just layer your pancakes on top of this hot plate and put the lid of the pan on top of the stack of pancakes. When you are done you just take the plate with the hot stack of pancakes and put it on the table!

3:38 if the pan is hot enough for the water to roll around on there like that then the pan is actually extremely hot. It's called the Leidenfrost effect, and it's when a liquid is on a solid that is way hotter than it's boiling point so it evaporates immediately and the water is now resting on a bed of it's own vapor. For water, leidenfrost effect happens at at 193 degrees Celsius or 379 degrees Fahrenheit (The leidenfrost point of water).

@@aragusea I do enjoy your content but your response was quite ignorant. Science doesn't back you up in this one and you claim to be the guy who constantly uses it to teach us new things.

@@georgemoustakas4030 I'm not denying science. I know about the Leidenfrost effect. I have no idea if that's precisely what's happening here.

If you don't believe me, go to your stove right now and try it. The droplet test is taught in basic cooking classes all over the world.

A tip I've found super useful is to use a nonstick pan and not grease it. It basically works like a flattop griddle and gives you that gorgeous golden brown color edge-to-edge (no splotches). I've never had issues with the batter sticking, either! It makes pancakes at home look just like pancakes from a diner.

I love your videos. So professional, yet not “slick”. I’m a little addicted lately, though I don’t really cook a lot. Anyway, I have to say that much like you say in your boxed cake mix video, it is my opinion that boxed pancake mixes, specifically Krusteaz (again, IMO), take the “cake”. I’ve had lots of pancakes in lots of places, and the pancakes that “I” make using Krusteaz beats literally everything else I’ve tried. Measure mix, add water, stir gently, stir in blueberries or bananas, and you have your mix. Insanely good. The only downside is it’s so good and easy that I have pancakes multiple times per week. I should buy stock in maple syrup. Thanks for the cool vids.

That dancing around in the pan is actually a sign of higher temperature than quick evaporation. Higher pan temps cause the Leidenfrost Effect to occur, in which the liquid boils so fast it creates a gaseous barrier (in this case steam) that slows heat transfer to the main body of the liquid droplets, so they actually last longer. The rapid boiling is responsible for them roiling around the pan. On an unrelated note I absolutely love your channel and have binged everything on it since I reached the episode in Greatest Gen where they first mentioned it. Your recipes are stellar and your videos are awesome

[@jacobhannan6411]

Here's my trick for telling when pancakes are done: feel the surface and push on it a bit. If it's fragile and brittle and feels like it may crack, it's not done, but if it's nice and spongy, it's cooked through. This is because the harder, cooked/browned part is in itself fairly brittle, so with liquid batter underneath, it feels this way, but if the pancake is cooked all the way through, then it will feel spongy and squishy because there is cooked pancake to support the more-brittle browned surface.

My friend loves cooking and keeps sending me your videos with certain timestamps in an attempt to tick me off after an argument we had regarding separating egg whites with your hands (my argument was that it was unsanitary), but little does she know I actually enjoy watching these videos because not only does it kill time but I can take a few mental notes for later. I might try and make pancakes sometime soon, I don't know, depends on when my parents will let me try, but I'll definitely refer to this when it hits the cooking part. So thanks.

"2 tbsp (14g) butter" - 14g would be 1 Tbsp so it should probably be 28g.

[@messyhead3155]

I'm very glad I read this just before it was too late

[@credthelll5442]

Noticed that too it seemed like a 1 tbsp

[@ethanmorrow4241]

Since tbsp is a measurement of volume, it depends on the density of the liquid how much a tbsp weighs

[@NutmegThumper]

My experience with many school & church pancake breakfasts is to use a non-stock griddle and no butter or Pam. The color is very even and it is less mess. We’ve had issues with uncooked batter in the middle, thus we generally use a thinner mix.

[@Shawnne86]

Omg yes!!! Finally someone who gets how pancakes should be done!!! Thicker is BETTER!! I'm known for my pancakes, because I tend to use a generous amount of butter, crisp up the outer edges, and emulsify butter and syrup together. Pancakes should be sweet and salty. A perfect balance. NEVER use margarine!! Gross! (Margarine is the miracle whip of mayo, *barf*) I loathe thin pancakes. They're always tough and chewy. I asked for pancakes, not a disk of rubber! Any time I get pancakes at a diner, no matter where, they're bland, tough, and boring. You want thin pancakes? Make crepes.

I'm hella skeptical of simplisafe, because the industry is filled with Bullshit. Sure, the product may work well NOW, but what in 2 or 4 years? Will they stop updating the firmware/software? What will happen if the company goes belly up? Will they take responsibility if it turns out their product is as leaky as a sieve? We probably won't like the answers.

I think if you're cooking pancakes at home you shouldn't expect perfect round, stop requiring perfect round pancakes! The beauty of home cooking is how different it is to restaurant grade food. Just cook your pancakes (I put a lid on my pan to solidify all the surface) and whatever weird shape comes out of it accept it and love it and cherish it.
