Oven Pancakes

Ingredience

1-1/2 cups of all-purpose flower

2 TBSP of sugar

3/4 tsp of salt

2 tsp of baking powder (aluminum free)

3/4 tsp of baking soda

2 large eggs

1 cup plus 2 TBSP of milk

2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar (optional: to turn milk into buttermilk)

2 TBSP of canola oil or melted butter (oil should provide a moister pancake)(or try mayonnaise instead)

2 tsp of vanilla extract

2 TBSP of malted milk powder (secret ingredient)

1/2 cup of maple sugar (maple crystals) to emulate McDonalds McGriddles (optional)

3/8 cup of maple syrup (optional)

Up to 3/4 tsp of cinnamon (optional)

Up to 3/8 tsp of nutmeg (optional)

Pokyny

Lightly grease a 13 x 18 inch aluminum sheet pan with a tablespoon of butter.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using) and the maple syrup (or maple crystals) (if using) together until smooth and well combined.

Whisk the wet ingredients with the dry until just combined with some lumps. Do not overmix the pancake batter. A few lumps are just fine.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Refrigerate the batter for twenty minutes. This will thicken it up and reduce the chances of the batter leaking past the rings.

Prepare the baking sheet with six 4-inch egg rounds. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into each egg round. This recipe will make two batches (pans) of 4-inch pancakes.

Bake the pancakes in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

These pancakes can be refrigerated and reheated in an air fryer at 330F for 4 minutes.

Poznámky

Try removing rings and flipping them at the halfway point.

Try 7 tsp of oil rather than 2 TBSP for a little less oily feel in the finished pancakes.

Reduced temperature from 425 because bottom was cooking to fast vs the top. 400 was a significant improvement, but will lower from 400 to 375 to further improve even browning top and bottom. Lowering again, to 350F.

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake mix into twelve 4-inch egg rounds.

2 tbsp of maple syrup wasn't enough to emulate McGriddles. Try 2 TBSP of maple crystals instead. Maple crystals are two times more flavor than maple syrup. Probably need to eliminate the sugar that's already in the recipe.

Secret ingredient: Substitute 2 TBSP of malted milk powder for two cups of the flour.
