Pancakes For A Crowd
Serves 8
Dry ingredients:
3 Cups unbleached white flour
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 Tablespoons of Rumford baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet ingredients:
3 cups of local milk or 3 cups of Rice milk + 2 teaspoons of vinegar (rice or apple)
2 tablespoons organic canola oil
2 tablespoons of either maple syrup, honey or cane sugar
In a medium bowl mix all the dry ingredients.
In another small bowl or large measuring cup combine the wet ingredients together.
Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix it together with a whisk till you have a nice smooth batter. The consistency of a good pancake batter is not too thick, pours well, yet it’s not too runny so it holds it shape on the griddle.
An individual 1/2 cup measuring cup works well for pouring the batter on to the griddle and makes a nice size pancake. Or fill up a large measuring cup and pour the batter on to the griddle directly if your pan is on the smaller side, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour your batter.
Heat up your pan or skillet to medium heat and coat with a little oil. Pour 1/2 or 1/4 cups of batter on to the hot griddle. Cook until you see bubbles pop through the surface of the pancake, around 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook them till they are done on that side about 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve hot with you favorite toppings.
For pancakes on the go make up a double batch. These pancakes freeze well and thaw nicely in the toaster. If you do make sure to double the sweetener in the wet ingredients, there much less mess on- the- go when the sticky sweetness is on the inside.
