American Pancakes

Cultural Context

American pancakes are a popular breakfast dish in the United States, often enjoyed on weekends or special occasions. They are known for their fluffy texture and are typically served with syrup, butter, or fruit. The dish has roots in early American cooking, influenced by European pancake traditions, and has evolved into a staple of American cuisine.

1

In a small pot, add 1/3 cup light corn syrup, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon molasses.

2

Stir the ingredients together and let this simmer for 3 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

3

After 3 minutes, turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon butter extract. Stir until the butter has melted and let this cool completely.

4

In a medium-sized bowl, add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 4 tablespoons sugar. Stir together.

5

In a separate medium-sized bowl, add 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon butter extract. Whisk until well combined.

6

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together with a sturdy spoon until combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy and thick.

7

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to help with rising.

8

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

9

Add 1 teaspoon unsalted butter to the skillet and spread it along the bottom until melted.

10

Pour in 1/2 cup of pancake batter and let it sear for 1 minute.

11

When bubbles form on the surface, flip the pancake and sear for another minute until golden brown on both sides.

12

Turn off the heat and transfer the pancakes to a serving dish. Top with 1 teaspoon of salted butter and your homemade syrup.
