I need the pancakes real recipe!

[simonaskitchen]

Hi to everybody, I just register here and I'm writing my first posts on this forum! I'd like to try the real recipe for pancakes. I have one, but I think something's uncorrect because I remember the pancakes I ate in California and NewYork... and mine (maybe it's up to me, eheh )don't lokk neither similar...
Can anyone suggest me the recipe and the correct preparation?

Thanx, Simona

Simple Pancakes
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of butter
2 eggs
1 cup of milk

Mix all the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the dry mix. Whisk the eggs into the milk, and then mix the wet ingredients into the dry. Just mix enough to pull the ingredients together. Dont worry if it is a bit lumpy.
On a hot grill or skillet, lightly oil. Pour 1/3 cup of batter per pancake. When the top is full of bubbles and the outside edge looks set, flip and cook until the bottom is golden brown.

For a variation, add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the dry mix and a tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk mixture. Your pancakes will be even lighter.

As I pour my batter and the first side cooks, I like to add items like blue berries, cranberries, bananas, raspberries, chocolate chips.

buy a "complete" box of mix, add water - ta-daaaa

if brave - try a baking mix recipe right off the box - like Bisquick or Jiffy mix

Bisquick makes a yellow jug with pancake mix in it - add water - shake - pour

there are some people that cannot make pancakes (sad to say)

ARGHHH!!! I live in Italy, in the countryside of Florence!!! At the supermarket I can only find some mix for muffins, but nothing for pancakes... is the original recipe difficult?

I have used this recipe for years Simona. I usually make pancakes or waffles every weekend with it. For waffles I just seperate the eggs and fold the egg whites into the rest of the batter at the very end.
I like to use brown sugar in them more than white sugar when making a fruit type pancake or waffle and also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

hi dears,i am angel here.
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable shortening
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients, except shortening, and beat until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
2. Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat (375*F - 190*C). Griddle is ready when a few drops of water bubble and skitter rapidly around.
3. For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until surface is covered with bubbles and appear dry around the edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.( Makes about 9 (4-inch) pancakes.)
