Follow our detailed tips and tricks to get your Pancakes and Waffles ready for you and to share with others. Now I will split both the recipes into two parts: first, we will make Pancakes and next the Waffles. So, let's start with Pancakes.
Pancakes:
Pancakes Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 (one and a half) cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 (three and a half) teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 (one and a fourth) cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter (use melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Now Ready for Instructions:
- Gather your ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar into a large mixing bowl and sift them. If you don't have a sifter, you can simply stir them all with a long spoon. Make sure they are all mixed evenly.
Mixing dry ingredients - In a separate bowl, take the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Use a whisk to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and each ingredient is evenly mixed. Make sure there are no lumps left in the mixture and it is blended nicely.
Mixing wet ingredients - Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spoon and gently stir the mixture together. Take your time to mix it and make a perfect mixture so that there are no large pockets of dry flour left. Make it light and fluffy.
Combining wet and dry ingredients - Place a griddle or non-stick skillet on the stove and grease the surface lightly with butter or oil. This will ensure that the pancakes don't stick to the pan. Heat for about 3-4 minutes so it reaches the right temperature.
Heating the skillet - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle or skillet for each pancake. Cook it for about 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the batter. Once bubbles start to appear and edges look set, carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the pancakes appear golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pancakes when they are ready.
Cooking pancakes - Now serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite syrup, fresh fruits, or as you wish.
Serving of Pancakes
Now it's time to make waffles. So let's get started:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ready for Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron (according to the manufacturer's instructions for your safety). This typically takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on the model size of the waffle iron.
Preheating the waffle iron - In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to blend everything thoroughly. Take your time as this is very important to mix them evenly so that there are no clumps left.
Whisking dry ingredients - In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. It takes about 1-2 minutes. This process mixes all ingredients together for a perfect batter for delicious waffles. Ensure that the mixture is smooth.
Mixing wet ingredients - Now pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently and give some time for this process. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough instead of light and fluffy. Mix only until the ingredients are blended together to keep the waffles light and fluffy when cooked.
Combining wet and dry ingredients - Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cooking time typically ranges from 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Take precautions like avoiding opening the waffle iron too soon, as this can cause the waffles to stick or break apart before they're fully cooked.
