You asked: Can you make pancakes in a frying pan?

How do you make pancakes without a griddle?

If you don’t have an electric skillet or griddle, use a heavy cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Let the batter rest 5 to 15 minutes before cooking. For really light and fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs. Add the egg yolk(s) where the recipe calls for eggs to be added in.

Can you cook pancakes in a saucepan?

Brush a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter and heat over medium-low heat. Add ¼ cupfuls of batter and cook until bubbly on top and golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. (Makes 6 to 8 pancakes.)

Do you cook pancakes in butter or oil?

The milk solids are what causes butter to burn, so when you’re cooking your pancakes, use clarified butter (in which the milk solids have already been separated). Otherwise, use vegetable oil (really!) or regular butter, and wipe your pan off after every two batches or so.

Can I make pancakes on stainless steel pan?

My conclusion: yes, you can in fact make pancakes with a stainless steel pan. It all comes down to the fact that stainless steel pans eventually become “nonstick” if they get hot enough. You just have to be patient and wait for the pan to “release” the pancakes from it’s hold.

Do you put butter in pan for pancakes?

Before the pancakes hit the hot pan, run a cold stick of butter on the surface of the pan to grease it. This gives the pancakes a very thin, evenly distributed layer of fat to cook in, without overloading the pan with oil. If you can’t have dairy, cooking spray is a good substitution.

What makes pancakes fluffy and moist?

Example: If a pancake recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, substituting 1/2 cup of plain yogurt for half the milk will produce a thicker batter and a fluffier pancake. The acidity of the yogurt will also boost the chemical reaction of the baking powder, producing still more fluffiness.
