- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE YOGURT-CAKES B "18 Dec 84" 1986
- .RZ "YOGURT PANCAKES" "Amazingly good baking-powder and yogurt pancakes"
- Cooks like to show off by making fancy glamorous recipes to serve to their
- friends by candle light. Here is a simple ordinary recipe to serve to your
- family for breakfast in the morning.
- .PP
- I love pancakes and I make many
- varieties and I am an inveterate experimenter. This recipe is the one I have
- developed over the years to replace buttermilk pancakes because I never have
- buttermilk on hand in the refrigerator like my grandmother did. I made this
- recipe this very morning with blueberries in it. I do have yogurt in my
- fridge, though, and the yogurt can substitue for the buttermilk.
- .IH "Serves 4\-6"
- .IG "5" "large eggs"
- (or 6 medium eggs)
- .IG "1\(14 cups" "milk" "300 ml"
- .IG "8 oz" "plain yogurt" "125 ml"
- (I use Dannon and Knudsen. Other brands might require different amounts)
- .IG "\(12 cup" "vegetable oil" "125 ml"
- (or less for dieters; but use at least
- .AB "2 Tbsp)" "30 ml)"
- .IG "2 1/3 cups" "white flour" "235 g"
- (measure carefully, after sifting)
- .IG "4 tsp" "baking powder" "20 ml"
- .IG "1 Tbsp" "sugar" "15 ml"
- .IG "1/2 tsp" "salt" "2.5 ml"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Preheat griddle and oil very very lightly.
- .SK 2
- Separate the eggs; beat the yolks
- in a bowl big enough to hold the whole recipe.
- Add the yogurt and beat
- again; add the milk and oil and beat again. Rinse the eggbeater.
- .SK 3
- In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder,
- sugar, and salt). Sift together. I use a flour sifter for this, but if you
- insist on measuring your flour without sifting it,
- then you can try using a wire whip to blend the dry ingredients.
- .SK 4
- Using a clean eggbeater, beat the eggwhites until they are fluffy.
- .SK 5
- Dump the dry ingredient mixture
- into the big bowl containing the milk mixture, stir for about 2
- seconds just to get the dry ingredients under the surface of the liquid, and
- then dump the beaten eggwhites into the big bowl.
- .SK 6
- Now beat this mixture
- lightly and slowly with a fork
- until it is more or less uniform. If you beat too much, or too
- fast, then it will get gummy. Don't try to get rid of lumps.
- .SK 7
- Cook on the hot griddle.
- .NX
- I like to put fresh blueberries in these pancakes after I
- pour them on the griddle. Make sure that your maple syrup is hot and that
- your butter is soft. You can heat syrup in the microwave or you can heat it
- by sticking the syrup jar in a pan of boiling water.
- .PP
- This same recipe also makes really good waffles if you reduce the milk to
- .AB "1 cup" "240 ml" ","
- but if you are going to make waffles, you shouldn't cut back on the oil. If
- you are dieting, stick to pancakes.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes plus cooking time.
- .I Precision:
- measure carefully.
