Perfect Pancakes

| | Comments (0)

I made the best pancakes for dinner last night. They were based on Alton Brown's recipe from I'm Just Here for More Food, with a few minor changes. The recipe, from memory:

  • 2 cups milk (I actually used about 1.5 cups milk, and 1/2 cup of soy milk, but i'm not sure this would actually make any difference).
  • 4 T butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1 t salt
  • 4 T sugar

Mix all the dry goods together, and seperately mix all the wet stuff together. The combine, but do not over mix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat up your griddle to 350 °. Lightly butter, and wipe all excess butter from griddle with a paper towel. Careful, that's 350 °! Wipe down the griddle after each batch with the paper towel.

These pancakes came out just perfect. They were wide, fluffy and perfectly golden brown. I couldn't really taste the soy milk, but I wonder what they would taste like if I upped the soy milk percentage. Soy milk has a certain nuttiness that I find very appealing.
