Ok, I promised to time my next pancake-making adventure, so I did. First, for reference, here’s my standard buttermilk pancake recipe:
Easy Buttermilk Pancakes
I followed it exactly, no doctoring, except that I made a half-recipe. I started the timer while standing at my work station, but nothing prepped, measured, or any tools positioned. I timed from that to completed batter resting in the jug (well, 4-cup measure, because it’s easy to pour from when cooking).
The final time, from start to finish was… drumroll …
I’ll probably make pancakes again next weekend, and I’ll see about buying a “complete” (just add water) mix and time that as well.
Oh, BTW, I’ve heard my whole cooking life that you can’t make pancakes (or eggs) is a SS skillet. I officially call bullsh!t on that. My normal pan for pancakes is cast iron. I used that last night for tacos, rinsed and wiped it out, but on heating this morning, it smelled a little taco-y, so I grabbed my SS pan, since I’ve always had very bad luck with pancakes and nonstick pans:
