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 :rolleyes: )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?
