Party Pancakes

I sure do!

I use either Aunt Jemima's Complete buttermilk pancake mix or the pancake batter recipe in the old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.  I also love the extra rich waffle batter recipe in the old BHG cookbook.  I love mine with real butter and Karo green lable syrup!   I also love the pancakes at IHOP and the waffles at Waffle House.

Karo Syrup Green Lable!

<span style="font-size: medium;">I haven't seen that around here in years! </span>

Green Label!

Is my favorite, I can't get it here either, but I can drive to Galax Virginia and get it, along with Duffs Hot Roll Mix, and Big Spring Mills Flour and cornmeal, so about once a month I go stock up!

Truthfully, I don't like pancakes

I like my Pancakes waffle style.

I will use pancake mix and make pancakes and I just don't like em very much. However if I put the same batter in a waffle maker, it takes 100X better. Weird, but I just love my waffles!

I think this thread might be headed in a briefs/boxers direction, so I'll hop on board to state I have always preferred waffles over pancakes.  They are more trouble and require specific equipment, but it's well worth it to me for the light and crispy results.

365 Degrees

I heat the Sunbeam electric skillet to 365 degrees.  In a bowl I place flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and add an equal portion of buttermilk to flour.  I stir them by hand just to combine leaving a few lumps. (Laundress thought I used a mixer on pancake and waffle batter while I only whip egg whites for waffle batter with a mixer, never the batter)  When the fry pan is ready I use a pastry brush to leave a light coating of fat just under the circular shape of the pancake.  The batter is dropped from a spoon and allowed to settle on its own.  When bubbles form on the uncooked surface and begin to pop its time to flip.  I use real butter and any brand of fake maple syrup.  I don't the real stuff as well.  Pancakes are best served straight from the pan or griddle without any wait or hold time.

In the pan are Mexican pancakes called buuelo and served with pear compote and Dolce le Leche.

Corrected the title....how could I have forgotten waffles?

<span style="font-size: medium;">I should be tied up and whipped!</span>

¡Buñelos!

<span style="font-size: medium;">I think all Hispanic ethnic groups have a version of these fritters from Spain.</span>

I only ever found one satisfactory way to make pancakes. Shawnee mix (regional, Oklahoma) and a gas range with a griddle. Having neither now, Kroger microwave pancakes. The syrup is the important part, so I sprang $8 for a small bottle of real maple. Did maple trees join a union or something?

I grew up with Log Cabin

<span style="font-size: medium;">But switched to real maple syrup long ago. It's pricey because it's so labor intensive. But nothing can compare to it. Everything else is just artificially flavored corn syrup. You think it's expensive here? In Spain it's a premium priced gourmet food item. </span>

Uhhh.... real syrup. We usually just have the Aunt Jemimas stuff. But sometimes my dad will come home with a big heavy glass bottle of real canadian maple syrup. Of course my mom doesn't approve of its price tag at any time.

With the first bite of waffle coated in it, is pure heaven! But eating too much can be sickening! Super sugary.

I grew only having real syrup on the table.  My great-uncle & aunt started cooking syrup in 1932, and now their son and grandson do it.  In fact, their grandson Brian, (my 2nd cousin), makes his living cooking and selling the stuff.  He has contracts with several regional supermarket chains, and is certified by the WI Dept. of Agriculture.

We each have our favorite way of cooking. I only use real maple syrup, can't tolerate anything else- life is too short for fake syrup. But I also only use Hungry Jack pancake mix, original version. I only fry my pancakes on my trusts old Frigidaire griddle, heated for 3 minutes on medium high heat then coated with a bit of vegetable oil.  I love the lacy brown type of pancakes, hate the ones that are evenly brown.
