A post to capture the pancake recipes that folks try out.
Amisha this is specially for you, i heard you make extraordinary pancakes 🙂
Grated banana in the flour is the usual way i make them. I get the pancake mix from Trader Joe’s. They have eggless buttermilk and wheat one (or multigrain forget now – this is a textured mix and not smooth one). Â
I’ve tried grated apple in the flour as well – tastes decent not bad. Sometimes put fresh blueberries or strawberries 0n the pancake.Â
What are the variations that you folks do? Do you make from scratch or from a pancake mix? Any particular mix that you prefer? Any from scratch recipes that you would like to share?
p.s Pancakes are a variation of sweet childas 🙂 Any interesting things around this traditional recipe.
Ah, this was my post. Have been thinking of writing about it since days.
The day we landed, our grocerry list had pan cake mix, maple syrup, strawberries on the top (basically all the items related to pan cake), avacados along with other things.
One of our friends makes pancakes from whole oats. By mistake I bought Quick oats. You grind whole oats/ quick oats in the grinder and that is your pan cake mix. (I don’t add baking soda/ baking powder)
She had crushed the apple with cinnamon in the grinder and put it in the crushed whole oats. And added little bit of milk. Keep the batter thick. One can grind any fruit like mango, pineapple, kiwi, banana and put it in the mix.
Now is the decoration part. 🙂 We put chocolate chips once the pan cake is on the plate. Then maple syrup, cut strawberries, blueberries, walnut pieces, whipped cream (I think. It comes in a bottle)
Sometimes we make pan cake sandwich. Layer 2 of them together and put all the filling in between.
Can have it like crepes, if the pancake is little thin and big.
Almond meal tastes and makes a pancake very healthy
I have used Arrowhead multigrain mostly. Recently got Oat based (I think it is Bisquick). I add one of the fruits banana/strawberry/Mango/Apple Sauce, one or more finely Chopped Walnut/Pecans/Almond/Raisine/Cranberry. I have purchased Flackseed meal to add but haven’t tried it yet. As topping typically chopped strawberry/banana, Maple syrup, other fruit flavoured syrup.
Sometime I use pancake mix for quick vegg. Chila for Kairavi. Mix various boiled, grated vegg. into pancake mix with salt & pepper.
Few months back I partly watched (TV was ON in background ofcourse) one hr. show on food network on how to make pan cake mix from scratch, how to test if griddle is at right temp. and how to make perfect pancake :-). Good for watching but not for implementing. Felt like too much details for morning breakfast
🙂
I have made thin dosa using Bisquick pancake mix. Also added green chillies and ginger paste for flavor.
Amisha, as i said the post was created for you to post :). So ready to post the next post that you have in mind now :).
Amisha – there is mention of avacados in ur comment. Do u add avacados in pan cake or it was just part of ur first grocery list??
Of course just part of the grocery list.
