Golden Fluffy Pancakes

Who doesn't like fluffy American "Aunt Jemima" pancakes? Some thick maple syrup over them, maybe some eggs as well... Breakfast never got that good.

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1.25 cup flour all-purpose or "patent bloem" (for the Dutch visitors)
  • 2.5 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 unit egg
  • 1.33 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil

Optional:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 drops pear extract
  • 1-2 dashes nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1-2 dashes ground ginger

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk milk, egg and oil together. (Optional: If you want them to taste even better, add the vanilla and pear extracts as well. Be GENTLE with the Pear extract, as it is VERY STRONG!)
  • In a larger bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  • Slowly add liquid mixture to dry mixture and whisk well.
  • Spray large frying pan with cooking spray or add a little bit of vegetable oil, and heat to medium heat. On a ceramic cooking stove, I have it between 4 and 5 (out of 10).
  • Wait until pan gets nice and hot.
  • Make pancakes whatever size you wish-- allowing top to form bubbles before turning over.
  • Cook until both sides are golden brown.
  • These can be frozen and toasted in the toaster to be reheated.
