Pancake/Waffle Batter

Method

Pancake/Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Melt the butter and fold into the batter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancakes/Waffles

    For pancakes, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. For waffles, preheat the waffle maker and pour the batter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare Toppings

    For the pineapple upside down version, melt brown sugar and butter in a skillet, add diced pineapple, and cinnamon. For the banana chocolate chip version, sprinkle chocolate chips onto the batter before flipping. For the cinnamon Danish, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and drizzle over pancakes/waffles.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Top pancakes/waffles with your choice of fruits and sauces. Enjoy!
