Hey I’m John canel and today on preppy kitchen we’re making some golden fluffy delicious pancakes so let’s get started first off we’re going to get the dry ingredients together in a large bowl starting with 1 and A3 cups of all-purpose flour that’s 160 G I have this recipe and my waffle recipe

Memorized by heart because they are my weekend go-tos with the kids they’re so satisfying and delicious and these pancakes really are tender fluffy and amazing they blow all the other ones that you could buy including the pre-made mixes out of the water and it’s just beyond

Easy all right to Puff things up I want one tblspoon of baking powder in you go and to give you some contrast to the sugar in here in that wonderful syrup you’re going to pour on top I’d like half a teaspoon of salt if you wanted to

You could up this to 3/4 of a teaspoon even a full teaspoon if you love The Bite of salt but half a teaspoon is a really safe safe measurement you’re going to have that wonderful contrast but it’s definitely not going to be too salty our SK

Oh I have the recipe memorized I forgot the sugar oh my gosh the sugar is really important in this recipe because it does two things you’re going to cover these in syrup and yes that’s sweet enough but you’d like the cake itself to be a little sweet so two tablespoons goes a

Long way and more importantly the sugar is going to soften the batter so it’ll give you a really tender melt-in yourr mouth crumb they’re not going to be dry and fluffy or bready and fluffy no no it also caramelizes in the pan and gives ghost it also caramelizes in the pan and

Gives you a really crisp golden exterior now our scale is done whisk whisk whisk until it’s all mixed up and if you’re not a morning person or you’re running late in the morning but you still want to make a delicious treat just have the pre-made mix ready and like pre-measured

And then you can have the wet ingredients in the fridge and microwave them till they’re warm and melted or just get the wet ingredients together and be halfway done all mixed up we’re going to set that aside and get the wet ingredients together now in a medium Bowl I’m

Combining one cup of whole milk this is actually not cold I warmed it up in the microwave because ice cold here today and this would cause problems I’ll tell you that later if it was cold 240 MS now we’re going to add 4 tbsp or 1/4 cup

56 G of melted butter to our room temperature or warmed milk in the morning no one’s going to measure the milk out let it come to room temperature you’re just going to microwave it it’s cold and you’re tired one large room temperature Egg this gives our pancakes some

Structure and for flavor two teaspoons of vanilla one day I’ll measure it out but not today all right give this a nice mix your base basically really wanting to break the egg up and kind of emulsify the butter into the milk a bit this smells Exquisite I could drink

It up already grab your flour and we’re going to combine the dry ingredients but first let’s warm our pan up so get a big Skillet or a griddle and we’re going to place it over medium low heat the secret to an amazing fluffy pancake besides using the right recipe is cooking it

Over medium low heat if you go too hot the sugar that you added to the pancake is it’s going to burn the inside will be raw and it’s just not great you want to slowly heat it up and then the way to make it delicious is to cook it in

Butter so even if you’re using a non-stick pan you want to add some butter to your pan because that’s basically frying the edge of the cake the pancake and it’s going to make it nice and crisp and golden add the wet to the dry so my favorite pancake recipe is

Just a plain beautiful pancake right now I’m going to use my spatula and just fold everything together do not overmix but you could add chocolate chips you could add banana slices blueberries you can make this like it will take any kind of mix in really

Well I would say a third to a half a cup of any of the mixins will work just fine and this is where if you have kids at home and they each want a different kind of pancake you could just kind of like add the batter in sprinkle some mixins

On top and then it’ll get cooked into the pancake and everyone can have whatever they want and people are happy in the morning okay just want the flour to disappear so scrape the bottom of the bowl down look for any pockets of flour hanging hither or thither you’ll have a couple nodules

Hanging around but it shouldn’t be super lumpy this recipe makes about six mediumsized pancakes if you want to make more just double the recipe or even triple it it can make a really big batch of batter you’ll just be at work at The Griddle for a little bit longer if you

Love delicious things and you haven’t subscribed to the channel hit that sub sub button there are two new full recipes every single week and tons of shorts too so in my recipe I call for brushing with melted butter but I don’t think people are actually doing that

This is what you’re doing in the morning little butter on the pan get some coverage and now you’re going to add your batter in you can cook however many pan cakes you want they could be mini ones they could be larger I would think a third to a/4 cup of batter per pancake

Is a nice rule of thumb I like my pancakes on the small side because they’re kind of just easier to manage and Portion out do they become Hot Cakes then I don’t know you can let me know in the comments I heated My Pan on medium low

Just to get it started right now you can work your way up to medium or even medium high it depends on your cooktop my induction cook top and the propane burners run so hot that I always like to go on medium low for my pancakes but if

You have an electric cooktop you might want medium high it’s kind of up to you if you you want you can make these pancakes in advance cook them up and then just freeze them flat transfer them to a freezer bag maybe with parch and paper in between so they don’t stick and

Then you can microwave as needed for UND demand delicious pancakes after about a minute you can take a little peek What’s Happening Here those are basically ready to pop over and I see bubbles on top that means the batter is starting to set so let’s carefully give it a little

Flip those got a little hot so I’m going to reduce my heat and on the next batch I’m adding more butter these pancakes are fluffed up the other side cooks really quickly but my main lesson as I’m apparently pancake Rusty is that I needed more butter and a

Lower heat so reduce the heat actually let that cool down for a second we’re going to we’re going to reduce the Heat and add more butter for the next batch batch number two let’s less heat more butter melt and now you’re going to add your batter in give it a little

Flip transfer your pancakes to A Plate serve with lashings of butter and syrup and just like that you’re ready to enjoy I love you pancakes you’re my best friend so good the edges are so crisp but the inside just melts like dissolves in a Buttery vanilla maple syrup Extravaganza it’s so

Good I hope you get a chance to try this recipe and if you like this video check out my breakfast playlist

  1. Very nice. I've been making this recipe for decades, it is very close to the version in the venerable "Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook" (with the red plaid cover) from my 1950s childhood. The big change in this version — that I can't wait to try — is using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. Awesome!

    One other note, as per the BHG cookbook and my own experience, is that you can cut the baking powder a bit, add some baking soda, and then use buttermilk instead of whole milk. Yum! The result is an even richer and more delicious stack of pancakes.

    A final note about eating these marvelous pancakes. Put a tab of butter in the middle of each pancake in the stack in addition to the top. ALWAYS use real maple syrup, lightly warmed. I've always loved to first eat around the edges, leaving the yummy center for last. Then the real treat — the buttery center portions, all by themselves.

    During blueberry season here in New England, a few plump blueberries dropped into each cake just after it hits the skillet will be nicely cooked by the time the pancakes are done.

    Thanks for featuring this delicious breakfast classic.

  2. Okay but put the yolk n butter in the dry and white n wets together before you combine them…don't over mix… less than 30 strokes okay… carry on.

  3. Hi john! I just ordered your 2nd book:D I cannot believe I've discovered you in th elast year and I am now always googling "Preppy Kitchen [dish's name] recipe" 😂😂

  4. This is now my favorite video from you due to the ghost. I believe that humor is one of the most important spices to the recipe of life and that touch was perfection.

  5. i like a little brown sugar in mine. sometimes i use greek yogurt and water or lemon juice and milk to make a butter milk. i put a dash of b soda in too.

    i also like to beat my eggs like crazy. foamy. ive actually separated my whites and whipped them to peaks before. that was for gluten free b powder free pancakes. (i sometimes blend milk with spinach to make healthy green pancakes and top with applesauce, yogurt, berries, and pecams)

    and i mix it a little thin and let it sit for 10 min and the flour really soaks in to thicken.

  6. The only different between that Pancake recipe and the Pancake recipe from the Country Women's Association Cookbook here in Australia (first published 1936) is that they also add bicarb soda and use SR Flour instead of Plain Flour (All-purpose flour), since SR Flour is the most common kind used in recipes over here.

    We also have a Pikelet recipe, which is essentially the same but doesn't have the bicarb soda or butter and has less of each of the other ingredients.

    Personally I prefer the Pikelet one, since it doesn't require a 1hr stand-time before cooking it like the CWA Pancake recipe.

  7. Its good to make small batches bcz large families can double but especially for 2 members and new beginners its savage

  8. Anyone else wonder how John keeps his figure when he's eating like this all the time? Probably a marathon runner…
