Pancakes from Scratch

Connie Veneracion
I made these pancakes with flour, milk, eggs and butter but, no, I did not plant the wheat and mill the flour, I did not milk any cow, I did not gather eggs from hens in the backyard and I did not churn the butter.
“From scratch” simply means there are no pre-mixed ingredients in the recipe. In short, no pancake mix. And they were the best pancakes I’ve ever made.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour do not press into the measuring cup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup evaporated milk mixed with ½ cup water
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Stir together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg and milk.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended.
  • Pour in the melted butter and fold in.
  • Pour the batter into a hot pan. Yes, the pan should be already hot before pouring in the batter so that the steam immediately pushes the batter upward. If not, the pancake will be too flat, too dense and too pale.

  • How do you tell if the pancake is ready to be flipped? You watch for the appearance of bubbles. Ideally the center should have a few bubbles while the edges are almost covered with them. If you wait until the entire surface is covered with bubbles, the underside will be too brown.
  • If the temperature of the pan is right just, the pancake should be ready to be flipped in about 45 seconds to a minute. The opposite side needs less time to cook.
    Cooking pancake from scratch
  • Serve the pancakes warm. Top it with whatever you fancy. I like butter and honey (am not a fan of commercial pancake syrup) and, occasionally, whipped cream. Jams are also great with pancakes.
