How do you make pancakes?

[Lisa Denton]

I want some freakin pancakes, I got syrup and honey but am outta pancake mix.

Does sombody know how to make them?

I know they used to make them in the olden days, I have milk and flour, is that what you use? Please don't say to add eggs, cause I am outta freakin eggs also.

I don't know no good cookin sites or nothing, so thought I would ask here. Anywho, since this is the authors forum if you help me you can use this idea in your next bestseller if you help me:

The Porno Pancake Orgasm Chronicles.

And hurry up ..... I am hungry.

Um....I dunno if you can make them without eggs. Pretty much every recipe I know involves eggs, flour and some sort of milk (like buttermilk or whole milk).

Here's one without eggs. I won't guarantee that they'll be any good, but it's a recipe!

Mix 2 tablespoons of flour with a small pinch of salt, 2 or 3 grates of nutmeg, and a dessertspoonful of moist sugar.
Make a smooth batter, by mixing with the flour, etc., very gradually, half a pint of milk, and beat it fully ten minutes, adding a tablespoon of melted butter.
Fry the pancakes in the usual way, and serve them with maple syrup or powdered sugar sprinkled between them.
Time, ten minutes to fry each pancake.

Moist sugar?

I never even seen that in the store.

I left that part out. They are cookin but look kinda funny, was that beat for ten minutes part important? I just stirred them.

Where'd you find the moist sugar and is that a euphemism for something?

I'm thinking that your stirring is equivalent to most people's beating. <nods> I mean, wouldn’t you rather have your moist sugar stirred rather than beaten for ten minutes. Not that there is anything wrong with beating moist sugar ... hey, it’s all good.

I thought you just told your waiter/waitress how you wanted your side of eggs, bacon or sausage, and if you wanted hash browns or not.

Um, giving that there were no eggs, I'm guessing that yes, it was. Those eggs give the pancakes substance, so without them, you have to fake it. That's why you beat for 10 minutes to fluff up the batter and give them faux substance.

I think moist sugar means you dampen the sugar with a little water.

One again, no guarantees that these are going to turn out any good. For good pancakes you really, really, really do need eggs.

Bisquick.

Um .... I am eatin them now ... and you are right ... they needed fluffed or somethin.

But with globs and globs of syrup they are ok.

I will get some eggs at the store, but also some pancake mix, I use the kind where you just add water and stir, they put the fluffin in.

But THANKS, they are good, or at least ok, and the syrup is good.

Hey, try putting in a bunch of yogurt and one more egg than they ask for. I just made myself some like 10 minutes ago and holy sweet mother of God are they fucking good.

 

[SweetPrettyAss]

I'm a little late but I always use Bisquick and add milk and eggs. Stir thoroughly, but don't beat for too long.

The problem was...no eggs.

So she had to have a recipe with no eggs.

Yogurt pancakes?

What, do you pour mustard on top instead of syrup?

 

[3113]

Glad they turned out okay. And enjoy your morning pancakes w/eggs or just pancake mix!

Easy now. Don't challenge my pancake kung-fu.

Try it. If you don't like it, I'll post pics of myself eating pancakes with mustard.

Yes, I'm serious.

Hey now, I was funnin.

Its ok, I know you smiled, so did I.

 

[Lisa Denton]

Yes, I was eggless, and clueless, but I started thinking and I have never made pancakes that didn't come from a mix before.

Next time I am out of mix I will be able to make good pancakes thanks to your help, well, and some eggs help, well, and I better find out where I put that beater thingie.

But thanks.

I didn't smile.

Yes I did.

 

[Lisa Denton]

I didn't smile.

Yes I did.

Yeah, I kinda did.

I know they used to make them in the olden days, I have milk and flour, is that what you use? Please don't say to add eggs, cause I am outta freakin eggs also.

From my Betty Crocker Cookbook:
1 Egg
1 Cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening, melted or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt.

The cookbook gives step by step instructions but they amount to dump everything in a bowl and mix until smooth.

The egg is a "binder" to make the pancates hold together. (The recipe for Waffles i much the same but uses two eggs and more milk.)

The baking powder is what makes them rise until they're "fluffy."

Additional salt and baking soda can be substituted for the baking powder to keep them from being too flat, but I haven't found any reliable substitute Eggs as a "binder."

I highly recommend the Betty Crocker Cookbook as source of recipes for when you run out of premixed products -- of course, you have to plan a head for running out of pancake or biscuit mix by stocking a can of baking powder, but it never goes bad if you keep it dry so you shouldn't have to buy it very oten.

 

[Weird Harold]

and I better find out where I put that beater thingie.

If you can't find it, a long-tined fork makes a pretty effective substitute for a whisk.

Damn, Harold, I just don't understand why you don't have your own website. From optimal memory configuration on an optical character recognition program to pancake recipies, you've got it covered. Fuck Jeeves. I say you register "Weird Harold" as an Intellectual Property (IP) and take this thing to the bank. I'm your first stakeholder, of course. Sign me up for ten thousand shares.

P.S. Bisquick. Did I mention that?

Can't. Bill Cosby owns the name "Weird Harold" as an intellectual copyright. I can use it as a nickname but I could never use it as a business name without paying him royalties.

P.S. Bisquick. Did I mention that?

Bisquick is OK if you like generic pancakes, but if you like really fluffy pancakes, like them a little less fluffy, or like fancy pancakes -- like peanutbutter pancakes, yogurt pancakes, or pancakes with fruit in them -- the Betty Crocker Cookbook gives you the adjustments that you need to make to get what you like instead of "one size fits all."

My daughters always loved it when I made pancakes, because I almost always add some "secret ingredient" -- peanutbutter in place of the shortening, oatmeal, parmesan cheese, honey in place of the sugar, maple or almond extract, etc. I can't remember the last time I used that pancake recipe as written.
