Pancakes! [Poll]

[JuanMena]

Crêps as far as I know require special tools to really make super thin, then you add other shit in to it.
REAL pancakes you take like 1dl of batter in a hot pan with butter. No extra tools needed more than a spatula or be an expert and flip it.

I don't know how the fuck I do it... but like, everytime I make Pancakes I burn them, but the middle stays raw.
Fucking hate Pancakes.
My sister has made Crêpes with a spoon. She adds a small quantity of Pancake batter on the pan, and immediately spreads the batter all over the pan surface.
She sometimes makes Crêpes batter with water instead of milk, like Pancake batter has.

Uhhh nope? Crepes don't need anything "special", the batter just has to be thinner than a traditional pancake batter, and you should let it sit for a bit to let bubbles escape. That's literally it, then you just pour a thin layer into a pan and you have crepes.

Your pan is too hot, simple as that. If you have a griddle around, around 375-380F is best temp for pancakes, if you're just using a stove, keep the heat at medium low (and make sure the pan is pre-heated before adding batter). The small bit of pancake your sister adds is likely her testing the pan temp to make sure it's all good.

Like I've thought of that too, and when I use a medium low heat they wont cook properly and will remain raw.
I truly hate Pancakes because of that.

The small quantity of pancake batter my sister uses is to literally make Crêpes with Pancake batter.
If I'm not mistaken, Crêpes batter doesn't use eggs or milk, but water instead.
I mentioned this because even though Pancake batter is not used to make Crêpes, (because different recipees) you can make Crêpes with Pancake batter.

Waffles are way better and easier to do

You're mistaken. Crepes use more eggs than pancake batter, and milk is used as well (though at a less amount, you usually replace half the milk with water to thin the batter).

Oh really? My sister always makes Crêpes with flour, baking soda, sugar, water and vanilla.
We might have different recipees then.

They taste completely different from Pancakes thoug, kinda chewy but overall nice.

FTFY my man

The "Holy Bible for good and cultured Meals" from Julia Childs
says..........thin so you can read a Newspaper through.

My "Holy Grail" as Cook with 35 Years of Cooking Experience says:
Thin - for Crepes ok but not for Pancakes.

Palatschinken as we say,has to be a little thicker.

for "piquant" Dishes like "Fleischpalatschinken" of course thicker.

for sweet Pancakes depends on the Stuffing.I do not "recommend thin as Paper for "Eispalatschinken" for example:



So I repeat it:

Yes and no.

Guten Appetit.

Sounds like a vegan crepe batter, not so much actual crepes.

I like to use Alton Brown's crepe recipe myself, makes excellent crepes every time.

In regards to the OP (cuz I don't think I answered), good ol' fashion pancakes are best IMO. Nice, fluffy cakes with blueberry syrup and a small dab of butter Though I tend to prefer waffles if I'm going to be making breakfast, just cuz they're so much easier to change up and enhance than pancakes.

Here is the recipe

2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
Butter, for coating the pan

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.

Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board.

Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

*Savory Variation Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the egg mixture.

*Sweet Variation Add 21/2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur to the egg mixture.

Oh thanks Amanda.
I admit I have my own recipe, but this sounds interesting, specially the Savory Variation. I think I might try the Savory recipee and I'll add a bit or Garlic, ham/sausage, chillies and a fried egg.

Pancakes,sliced in a Beef boiled Soup.

For the Batter:
Egg,Milk,Flour (Pizza Flour is a Way better then the normal)
Instead of Sugar of course - Salt,Nutmeg,White Pepper and fine chopped Herbs (Parsley,Marjoram,Basil,Rosemary,Dill...)

Make not too thin Pancakes and slice it.

Make a Beef boiled Soup with a little Vegetable in it (Carrots,Celery,Parsley Root,Parsnip).
You can also use a Chicken or clear Vegetable Soup of course.

Guten Appetit.
