James Beards Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a medium bowl until incorporated. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks until well blended. Sift together flour, soda and salt. Stir in buttermilk and egg yolks. Add butter and beat until smooth.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter gently.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Test heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan. Once pan is hot, drop batter by spoonfuls onto pan and cook until pancakes are brown on the bottom and are starting to dry on top. Turn and brown the other side. Keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Steps:

• Sift flour and baking soda into a large bowl. Add salt.
• Add beaten egg and buttermilk and mix until blended. Do not worry about lumps.
• Grease skillet or griddle to medium hot (a drop of water will bounce on the surface). Spoon out about one-fourth cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear. Using a thin spatula, turn pancake over and brown other side. Keep pancakes warm in preheated 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Pass maple syrup separately.
