I hate sugar in my pancakes. My recipe is the same for 35 years … 2 1/2 cups flour, 3 tsps. baking powder, salt, 1 egg and milk. If I put sugar in my pancakes my family would mutiny.

[@updownstate]

@@beckypage886 You gotta get the sweet from real 100% maple syrup. I think sugar in the cakes would be weird, unless it had something to do with browning them, and I don't see how.

[@geraldbrienza4474]

Hey john, no sugar for me (a dash of vanilla.) I also separate my eggs, whipping the whites into peaks than fold them into batter. Also, I cook them on bacon grease, much more flavorful.

This is the way my grandmother made pancakes. She died when I was 28, I'm 74 now and can still see them and taste them in my mind. She was an amazing cook, miss you grandma.

Mmmm...dad cooking. When she forgets how great you are when making pancakes .. switch to jelly filled sugar dusted crepes. That's what my dad did....when mom wasn't around.....and pancakes didn't provide the same god-worship response they used to.

[@SpectreMkTwo]

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon white sugar 1 1/4 cups milk 1 egg 3 tablespoons butter, melted

[@iDONTdoFacebook]

Israel Uribe And two teaspoons of cinnamon sifted in with the dry ingredients if one should feel so inclined. And for a holiday edition, maybe even a half teaspoon of allspice ... or nutmeg. ...Or alternatively, one could stir the cinnamon, and/or the allspice, and/or the nutmeg into some honey and pour that over the pancakes in place of the maple syrup. ...Or, one could simply sprinkle one, two, or even all of those three spices on top just before taking your first bite.

Recipe: 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour 3 tsp of baking powder 1 tsp of salt 2 tbsp of white sugar 1 1/4 cups of milk 1 egg 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter Note: in his original recipe he added 3 1/2 tsp of baking powder, but I just think it was too much and he also added 1tbsp of white sugar instead of 2 tbsp, but feel free to make it your own way!

[@quanita7116]

I will try the 3 tsp of baking powder because I tasted it too strongly in the finished pancake. Can I use buttermilk? Would I take out the melted butter if I do nd just add a bit more buttermilk?

[@TheRiteThings]

A little 1/2 to1 tsp of vanilla extract in the batter is way good, it really bumps up the flavor, yum!

[@peterv1806]

This is virtually identical to my late mother's recipe - wonderful recipe and it evokes great memories! She'd be 102 if she was still alive. I love your channel - thank you.

[@janicecrose376]

Yes it brings back memories. My mom would be 97 now. She used to heat the bottle of maple syrup (just a bit), in a pan of water on stove. It was soooo good!

[@travollan]

Just a couple quick tips, if you wipe the excess oil or butter out of the pan with a paper towel you leave enough behind that the pancakes don't stick, AND you get a more even golden browning instead of the patchy brown and white. Not only does it look better, it leaves a more uniform crust on the exterior of your fluffy breakfast. Also, don't be afraid to leave a few little lumps in your batter! Over mixing thins the batter and it has a more difficult time rising in the hot pan. A few lumps per pancake = fluffier pancakes and don't worry - they won't be floury, the lumps cook out perfectly. Who wants to come over for breakfast?

[@greendorito3812]

Nobody yah freak

[@paulbroussard7856]

The patchy brown is what makes them look like old fashioned. Just like my mother made. Everybody talks about fluffy pancakes but they’re too doughy in the middle. I guess people have different taste. This is a southern pancake.

[@jasontreese4596]

Was thinking the same thing. All these recipes I see on here seem to slightly overcook their pancakes. Slightly lower heat. Also, separating the whites and yolks, then beating the whites, and adding just before cooking will give you a much fluffier and lighter pancake. Everyone likes their own brand....

[@hawaiidispenser]

I made some recently and can confirm that over-mixing the batter thins it out and makes a dense, rubbery pancake. Definitely want a somewhat lumpy batter on the thicker, dryer side.

[@lindac5273]

Dear chef John, I made these and they were amazing. I did tweak them tho no melted butter into batter because of butter and maple syrup on top, and I substituted milk for buttermilk and added vanilla to the batter. Best pancakes I’ve ever made. Thank you for the foundation. I love your channel.!

But how much cayenne do i need?

[@paudeline]

All of it.

[@UsernameLoading]

Are you mad?

[@paudeline]

BaltazarSantiaqo I'm a little heated.

[@UsernameLoading]

Well then...

[@Xani13]

BaltazarSantiaqo While cayenne is excellent for heat, it is not good for flavor - I added too much cayenne to my beef jerky that I tried to make. It was almost hot enough but the cayenne flavor was all I could taste. I later learned that if I do that again, I'm to use extract of cayenne since it provides all the heat with none of the flavor...which should allow me to actually taste the beef next time. :D

[@watertothepeople]

Amazing! First time in my life that I tried real classic American pancakes, let alone made them myself. I am Swiss and we usually just mix milk, flower and egg..no baking powder and butter and they stay flat and kind of dense. So thanks a lot chef John, they taste so delicious! This will change my weekend breakfast culture. I was addicted to maple sirup before, but now I finally have the perfect match for it!

[@Bossanova26]

After trying endless pancake recipies this is the first one that works in every aspect: amazing taste, super fast, very easy!!! Thanks a lot!

[@emmadimitrov4573]

[@MrFingerBobs]

Made these tonight (Shrove Tuesday) and they are one of the best pancakes I have made. I normally just do the traditional British style but thought I would try something different and we all loved them. Now I just have to work out how to reheat the left over pancakes for tomorrows lunch as I tripled the recipe :)

[@potatoaimed]

Pancakes from scratch has never been practiced in my family. My mother has always "preferred" to make pancakes from a box. Now that I am older, I am able to make pancakes from scratch, I've been trying recipes online, giving every kind of "old fashioned pancake" recipe a try, but none of them have turned out too well for me. This one takes the (pan) cake! Letting it sit for 5 minutes before cooking it seems to be what I've been missing all along. Glad I found this video, I make tasty pancakes from scratch now - even my mother likes it better than her usual "box" mix. Thank you!

[@robertoparra9969]

since I found this recipe, I have NO reason to go back to mixes. I love these pancakes.

[@dopeduplet6745]

I tried this recipe today and the pancakes were PHENOMENAL. I followed the exact measurements, however, instead of using 1 teaspoon of salt, I only used a tiny pinch of salt. Other than that, I followed the directions exactly as stated in the Website/Blog (Link in Description) and the pancakes were delicious. I will definitely make these pancakes again.

[@sarahgirard1405]

The nostalgia I get watching this now. I (German born and raised) Made this for my husband(American born and raised) when he lived in Germany 10 years ago. Ver possible that this was partially why he married me even though he said he never wanted to marry again. I think it made his day then and I can’t wait to make them again now. Good old chef John old fashioned pancakes. :-) ❤

[@Sonyag1]

I add a little vanilla for better pancake flavor. And use a cast iron skillet.

[@saltedsnail9887]

If you like using a skillet and lots of flavor, try making a Dutch baby. Chef John made one on his channel if you want to check it out

[@MrRbillharz]

I worked as a QC tech at a bakery that made pancakes for a major burger chain and I now add vanilla to my pancakes. Another secret is to pour the batter from at least ten to twelve inches (or more) above the pan, start low and raise as you pour, staying centered. This step will make your pancakes more evenly round and leave concentric rings on the presentation side of the pancake, making a more professional looking product.

[@Giovani25x]

Sonyag1. I added some almond extract today in the pancake mix , it was phenomenal.

[@lisaa3351]

I've used vanilla extract and sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon, the almond extract sounds awesome.

[@billybrand]

I also add cinnamon sometimes. Bananas too! The kids love it. In college, one of my roommates would add bacon bits and caramelized onions. It wasn't bad at all. What was bad, was that the other roommate would put ketchup on his pancakes, yuk, lol!

[@randiryterman2418]

These pancakes are AMAZING! We had some hulled buckwheat, and were planning to make some kasha. We stumbled on this recipe instead, and we’re SOOO glad we did. We milled the buckwheat into flour, and followed this recipe exactly. Thank you Chef John!

[@artlitmusic]

Cool! I found this (almost) exact recipe when my children were young in an old recipe book, around 20 years ago...the only difference was oil instead of butter, and the measurements are a bit different. They really are the best :)

[@武ルリ]

It was almost exactly what I ate some sixty years ago, which my aunts made for me. In those days, many American soldiers and their families were in Tokyo. Probably the recipe was from them. Of course, I made it and I love it. Thank you for the recipe.

I apologize for too much information but, I’m a Grandma myself and I know some cheats.... In a Hurry? After you’ve made this recipe once or twice and are familiar with the desired consistency, try this... Take your pancake mix and mix according to directions... Then thin it down with milk until you achieve this consistency. Then melt about 3 TBSP of butter or bacon grease and dump that in your bowl along with 1 EGG ( beating the egg a bit before adding it helps) . Mix gently until combined, don’t want to develop the gluten. For the grand finale, fry in bacon grease for that crispy donut flavored edge. Or vege oil. ( butter is yummy but it burns too easily). While we want to avoid fats, a bit more oil in the pan (just a scant tsp);will give you that, Grandma made this just for you, crispy edge.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I looked at the recipe and thought...yeah, my Grammy made great tasting simple foods...the pancakes are simple. NO rocket science needed here. My Grammy didn't use any rocket science for her great tasting foods....NO recipes needed either. Sometimes we'd eat them with tub butter and Turkey brand table syrup (before maple surple became in vogue) and sometimes we'd smear the butter on them and then a light sprinkle of salt. I remember eating 15-20 of these things at a sitting, specially when I returned from Vietnam in August of '67. Them were the good old days. Thanx for this video Chef John.

[@tzourasss]

hello my friend.i'm from greece..this is for you.. GREEK MOUSSAKA INGREDIENTS (8-10 servings) 4 large eggplants 1 kg of lamb minced meat finely chopped 1 small onion thinly chopped 2 cloves gillyflower 1 tablespoon of black raisins (optional) 1 clove cinnamon ½ tablespoon grated orange peel 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 ½ cup olive oil for frying 1 teaspoon salt For the topping (option A) 2 tablespoons butter 3 - 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups fresh milk 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons grated cheese ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg For the topping (option B) ½ kg non sour yoghurt 3 well beaten eggs 1 tablespoon flour Salt Pepper Nutmeg (optional) METHOD Cut the eggplants into slices and put them in salted water for 1 hour approximately. Remove eggplants from water and squeeze them so they drain the excess water. Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan with heavy bottom and fry the eggplants until soften without getting brown. Arrange them on a kitchen towel paper to absorb the excess olive oil. In a clean frying pan heat olive oil and sizzle the onion until it golden browns without getting burned. Add minced meat, stir constantly, add all spices, grated orange peel and raisins- provided that you use them- along with a bit of salt. Cook 4 - 5 minutes until all fluids are absorbed. Arrange eggplant slices on a medium size baking dish, sprinkle minced meat and continue with another layer of eggplants. Prepare béchamel sauce as follows: In a small saucepan melt butter, remove from the heat and add flour, stirring constantly with a wooden ladle till the mixture thickens. When the mush cools, add the beaten egg yolks. Add cold milk and place the saucepan in the heat, in low temperature, stirring constantly till it becomes a thick and homogeneous sauce. Sprinkle cheese and add a touch of salt and nutmeg and spoon the sauce over all. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated 180 degrees oven until the sauce golden browns. Served warm.

[@Xani13]

Forgive me if this is a seemingly facetious question, but does the melted butter need to be clarified first? Or do you just use melted butter? Or would that even make a difference?

[@mzzb2067]

+SS4Xanatos no, just melt cool and use

[@katiatannus3146]

+SS4Xanatos clarified butter is melted butter

[@cartossin]

No it is not. Clarified butter is milk fat rendered from butter to separate the milk solids and water from the butterfat. It doesn't taste like butter.

[@Xani13]

cartossin That was my thought on it. But what I was asking at the time was is it necessary to clarify the butter? Or can you simply melt it?

[@jbeargrr]

SS4Xanatos Just melt it.

[@PatriciaSanchez-p2f]

No measures 😮

[@sabrinan6828]

I can’t believe how perfect these were. Chef John you did it againnnn

[@lindae2524]

Buttermilk! I generally do the old Betty Crocker recipe from an older cookbook. But I will start sifting now.

[@iDONTdoFacebook]

You can add two teaspoons of cinnamon sifted in with the dry ingredients if one should feel so inclined. Or for a holiday edition, maybe even a half teaspoon of allspice ... or nutmeg. ...Or alternatively, one could stir the cinnamon, and/or the allspice, and/or the nutmeg into some honey and pour that over the pancakes in place of the maple syrup. ...Or, one could simply sprinkle one, two, or even all of those three spices on top just before taking your first bite.

[@MrCampfires]

buttermilk not milk?

[@ulyses791]

Wait... is this recipe on Allrecipes? Cuz I had looked up pancake recipes the other day and it was like exactly the same as this

[@helenboula3538]

Resume say his recipe is very easy and it is simple it is a no-fail this man knows how to cook I'm washing many many times and he makes it simple it's cooking should be the cooking is not complicated people make it complicated

[@goroakechi8370]

These are truly the most delicious pancakes that I have ever seen!

[@Guitargoddess843]

But why have 3 small pancakes when you can have 4 large pancakes?

[@Cha0sLord93]

Mouth watering!!

[@pokerslob8175]

Nothing like real maple syrup. It's expensive, but so worth the money. Once you've experienced it I doubt you could ever go back to maple flavored corn syrup.

[@Xani13]

Whoa, that's what's being used when not real maple syrup? That's disturbing...didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up there. :D

[@paulwisdom5383]

Infusing it with Ginger gives it a phenominal new level of flavour. Honestly, try it sometime. So warm and flavoursome freshly made and cooled slightly but still warm. Amazing.

[@brkitdwn]

Yeah, who cares about reading ingredients, and being aware when you can find answers on YT, and also just by watching tv. :/

[@mothman-jz8ug]

I'm with you, eg102. I've tried it, but didn't care for it at all. Different brands, different times...Not crazy about it in the first place, and what is with that bitter aftertastes? I don't know how anyone can use that wretched stuff.

[@arlinimartini503]

You Rock chef John! I made these today and they are fool proof! Thank you!

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

Perfect execution and something everyone should try to make at least once a year - once a month is even better. Gotta have butter in there.

[@snowcloud06]

No matter how long I preheat my pan or griddle the first batch always comes out too light or a weird color. Why is that?

[@scottdraper1244]

Probably the layer of oil is thinned out for the remaining batches.

[@Sonyag1]

Get a cast iron pan. Pancakes come out perfect every time.

[@magdalene74]

first pancake is always for the dog.

[@jamesbrowne6351]

When you asked "How do you know when to flip?" I thought you would say something along the lines of giving it the "old Poke-a-poke-a."

[@markpacheco2001]

I made these with the hash browns and it looked very good I was so ready to eat these but once I took a bite of the pancakes I almost vomited so I checked all the ingredients and everything looked good until I realized I accidentally added baking soda insted of baking powder 😂😂😭😭 that ruined my breakfast so I ended up just going to Mcdonalds for pancakes

[@thedarci1368]

Snicker.....snicker:)))))

[@larrysmith2638]

That is tragic. But you must admit that McDonald's pancakes are pretty good. Like their french fries.

[@rakshamanohar3903]

These turned out perfect the very first time! I added blueberries and a little vanilla extract to mine. Heaven on Earth!

[@cybersean3000]

I made these and they were AWESOME!

[@jjsoledad8553]

"There's no money in sifting" that made me laugh!! You're hilarious!

[@Theoriginalbubbafett]

These reminded me of my Grandma’s pancakes! My problem is they made my eyes water.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Made these this morning and wow! I did add some vanilla but wow!!!! They are amazing!!!!

[@PrimeMatt]

It's amazing how much difference a good mic makes to the video quality.
