Carols Special Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in carrots. , Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a nonstick skillet or a greased hot griddle. Turn pancakes when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown., For syrup, in a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and milk. Serve pancakes with cream cheese mixture and half the syrup; sprinkle with nuts and, if desired, shredded carrots. Cover and refrigerate remaining syrup; save for another use.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe dish for 10 seconds. Let cool.
• Whisk egg yolk into cooled butter with a fork. Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl; stir in sugar. Whisk in egg-butter mixture and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too thick.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Reduce heat and pour batter onto the hot skillet using a ladle. Cook until bubbles form and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Use a large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Place a few chocolate pieces on top of 1 warm pancake and sandwich another pancake on top. Repeat with remaining pancakes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and melted butter. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, all at once, and stir or whisk just until combined. The batter should have some small lumps. Make sure you do not over mix the batter or the pancakes will be tough. Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium high heat until a few sprinkles of water dropped on the pan splatter. Using a pastry brush, brush the pan with a little melted butter. Using a small ladle or scoop, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan, spacing the pancakes a few inches from each other. When the bottoms of the pancakes are brown and bubbles start to appear on the top surfaces of the pancakes (2-3 minutes), turn over. Cook until lightly browned (about 1-2 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with melted butter between batches. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
• Separately beat the egg and then add the milk.
• Stir the egg & milk into the flour mixture to make a batter.
• Beat the butter/oil into the pancake batter.
• Lightly oil and heat a fry pan. When hot:.
• Spoon about 1/4 Cup batter into the fry pan. (Add more if you want larger pancakes).
• Turn once only -- when the upside is well bubbled.
• ** To keep the pancakes hot until served, as each pancake is cooked, place a pan in a preheated oven on 'low' and place the pancakes in a folded over tea towel.

Steps:

• Preheat a lightly greased non-stick griddle to 300°.
• Beat eggs with a wire whisk and add milk, Sprite and oil. Whisk until frothy.
• Add flour and sugar and whisk until completely mixed. (There will be small lumps.).
• Pour by 1/3 cupfuls onto hot griddle and cook about 1 minute or until golden brown on underside. Flip and cook 45 seconds or until golden brown on other side.
• Serve with favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, trim the crusts off the bread & then cut the bread into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, flour, sugar and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk & eggs, then stir in the melted butter. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to blend.
• Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
• Stir mixture well, breaking up some of the cubes.
• Heat large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat (I use 300-350° on my old electric griddle).
• Lightly brush the griddle with vegetable oil (I use a paper towel folded several times to spread the oil evenly onto the griddle.) Non-stick cooking spray can be substituted but I have found we prefer to use the light film of oil because it really adds to the outer color & texture of the pancake.
• Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned.
• With a large spatula, carefully flip the pancakes over to brown the other side. Repeat til all the batter is used up. Serve with syrups or jams of your choice.
