How do I make pancakes? Specifically chocolate chip pancakes...

>> No.11215921

I assume you add chocolate chips to pancake batter, oil the pan, pour the batter in the pan, flip when one side is a nice light yet semi crispy brown. Repeat that and then you should be good

>> No.11215941

>>11215910
lol poor guy. Ok, flour, water, baking powder,salt,sugar, milk if you have it. Find a recipe they are all the same pretty much.

pan on stove. heat. knob of butter or oil in the pan. use a ladle, scoop in some batter. this is all at a touch over medium heat. with your spatual check and make sure you're not burning the bottom but when the bubbles on are solid not liquid then flip.

repeat.

Get pancake batter, add water until it flows off a ladle in one stream if you make the batter from scratch put everything through a softer and add buttermilk until you get that consistency. Ladle it on a a flat griddle or non-stick pan with a little butter on medium heat. Sprinkle chocolate chips on the top now, don't go crazy though. Wait until you see bubbles on the top between the chocolate give it 30 seconds then flip it, give it 30 more seconds and put it on the plate and drizzle maple syrup over it with a little more butter. Bone apple teeth.

Thanks. What's the best mix to get? I tried this Swedish Pancake one and it was pretty thin and good, the Cracker Barrell one I tried was really bad. Tasted like cardboard.

I tried making a grilled cheese using the Chef John method and fucked that up too. It was so buttery I about died.

Also, use fresh buttermilk. If you use the powder mixed with water, the pancakes turn out crumbly. They still taste good, but they're messy.

Pancake mix is an idiot's tax. It's flour, baking powder, baking soda and little salt and sugar. If you don't already have those in your pantry, then you should.

>> No.11216156

>>11216099
You have to learn to judge the thickness of the batter by experience. Generally, these turn out about 3/8"-1/2" thick, I never follow directions for the buttermilk, I add it a little at a time until the batter looks right. A soup ladle or 1 cup measuring cup is just right for pouring it into the pan, and after pouring, I spread it out a little with a spoon.

Experience.

you could go watch some people cooking pancakes on youtube and see what the consistency looks like.

>> No.11216210

>>11216186
Based on past experience, scooping up some with a spoon and letting it drop back into the mixing bowl. At a certain consistency, the experienced pancake maker knows that it's just right.

I guess you can add chocolate chips if you want, though they might make a bit of a mess in a pan.

Pro tip

For fluffy pancakes make sure you mix your wet ingredients separately.

Melted butter with egg yolks
Buttermilk with egg whites.

Once you do that, THEN you can mix those two together and can mix with the dry ingredients.

I agree, the chocolate burns, maybe use shavings instead so they melt more evenly or drizzle it with chocolate syrup instead of maple.

Prevents excess gluten formation or something like that. Keeps the pancake from becoming too rubbery.

Pro tip #2

To determine the best surface temperature for cooking pancakes, try the water test. Drip a few drops of water on the surface, it should be just hot enough for the drops to "dance" around and gradually boil off. If they flash boil then you're too hot. If they run without any boiling them you're too cool.

As to when you should flip. If you've got the right surface temp then you should be able to wait until the top (wet) part of the pancake starts showing bubbles.

Skip the guesswork and buy some birch bender brand buttermilk complete mix. Mix the batter thin almost 1/2 more water then it calls for, cover the batter for ten minutes and let the leavening agents work. Use Crisco wiped onto the pan you are using. Add chips before the flip. Best I’ve ever had.

But you have to add a little more water then it calls for and let it sit covered for at least 10 minutes. Always use room temp water
