BEST EVER WAFFLES OR PANCAKES

I've adjusted this recipe over time, tweaking it here and there until it's just right! You can add any one of a number of flavorings you might have or try one of the following: an 1/8 teaspoon of Fiori di Sicilia, a teaspoon of Amaretto, a few drops of orange or lemon oil or extract, or a 1/2 teaspoon of real vanilla.

You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator so that it will be ready for breakfast each morning. Or you can bake them in advance and freeze until needed. Frozen waffles can be reheated in your toaster oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes or microwaved about 35 seconds or til heated through.

1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. fine corn meal (optional)
2 eggs, separated
5 tbsp. sugar
1 cup buttermilk, plain yogurt or sour cream
1 cup milk
6 tbsp. melted butter or shortening

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Whip egg whites, set aside. Beat egg yolks with sugar and stir in milk. Beat in flour mixture. Add melted butter or shortening.

When thoroughly combined, fold in beaten egg whites.

If batter is too thin, add a tablespoon of flour; if batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of extra milk, adjusting the batter until it has the consistency of very heavy cream. The batter may thicken upon standing and may require adjustment again.

Serve dotted with butter, drizzled with maple syrup or topped with a spoonful of marmalade or fruit.

Variation: Once batter is on the griddle, add fruit such as blueberries, strawberries or bananas.

Deelish. I never get pancakes right but this time I did. I love how this recipe separates the parts to the mix, eggs, egg whites, milks and flour. You can't just dump everything together. This is my pancake recipe now. Thanks CM!

Mike (Pennsylvania) says:

Excellent recipe. I used the yogurt. I think the sugar needs to be cut back a little but I was very pleased with the look and taste of the waffles.

My childrens friends say I make the best pancakes. All I used to do was add a little of this or that to the box mix til today. These pancakes are the bomb. No more box mix for us either.

Kids were begging for waffles and I had no box stuff left. I looked up waffles from scratch and this was the first hit. They were the best waffles ever!

They are the best pancakes I have ever tasted! I made them with whole-plain Greek yogurt and shortening and they were so yummy...I will never buy pancake mixes again!!

Lynn (Minnesota) says:

They won't be as fluffy the next day because the egg whites break down. But go ahead and use all the batter, and warm the pancakes in the microwave next day or pop em in the toaster for a little bit. Just as good.

Hands down! The best! Anyone know how long you can keep the batter? (Not that it will be around long in this house!)

Beginnercook15 (North Carolina) says:

This morning when I woke up i didn't want any eggs or cereal so I decided to have pancakes. Well I had never made them from scratch, so I go look in the cook book my grandmother passed down to me. And found not one pancake recipe in it. So go to bing and search pancake recipe and find this one and made 14 pancakes for me and my mom. They were FANTASTIC! I'll use this recipe from now on when i want pancakes.

Best pancakes I have ever had. I put a little bit of vanilla and cinnamon and it made them even better! I will never use a box again.
