Pancake Tips & Ideas
Getting Started
- How to tell when the griddle is ready? Sprinkle a few drops of water on the griddle—if the water hisses and steams, it’s ready.
- Out of buttermilk? Stir 1 Tbsp. lemon juice into 1 cup milk; let stand for a few minutes, then substitute for buttermilk in your recipe.
- Be sure to use fresh CALUMET Baking Powder to ensure fluffy pancakes. To check potency, stir 1 tsp. baking powder into 1/3 cup hot water. If it fizzes and bubbles energetically, it's fine to use. If not, discard and purchase a new can.
- Remember to stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined—overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Pancakes are ready to flip when large bubbles form in the batter on the tops.
- If you’re feeding a crowd, place pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven as you make them. They’ll stay warm, and you’ll have time to finish cooking all of them before sitting down to eat with the rest of the group.
- Freeze leftover pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-weight resealable plastic bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven until heated through. Smaller frozen pancakes can be heated in the toaster.
Switch It Up
- Add one of the following stir-in ideas to pancake batter: 1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips, 2 Tbsp. sprinkles, or 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice. Or, sprinkle fresh or frozen blueberries onto plain pancakes just before you turn them over.
- Pancakes aren’t just for breakfast. Our Spinach Pancakes, Zucchini Pancakes and Mashed Potato Pancakes make great dinnertime ideas.
- Why not have breakfast for dinner? Serve up pancakes, eggs and other morning favorites for a dinnertime change of pace.
- Instead of syrup, top pancakes with COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and toasted BAKER’S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut.
- Dutch Boy Pancake or Cream Crepes are a fun break from traditional pancakes and taste great!
- To make chocolate pancakes, substitute 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder for an equal amount of flour in a basic pancake recipe. For an even more decadent treat, add 1/4 cup BAKER’S Chocolate Chunks to the batter.
