Buttermilk Pancakes

Fluffy Golden Browns

  • Author: Scott Sherman
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 1/4 cups Flour
1 tbsp. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Egg separated
1 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Milk
5 tbsp. Butter melted

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, and milk. Add the melted, cooled butter and whisk until well combined.
  2. Pour the yolk and milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until barely combined. Add the egg whites and stir just until a thick batter is formed. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, film with 1/2 teaspoon of neutral oil such as canola or peanut oil. After about 30 seconds, when the oil shimmers but is not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and use a soup spoon to drop in heaping spoonfuls of pancake batter.
  4. The batter will spread into a pancake about 3 inches wide. Cook for about 2 1/2 minutes. (If the pancake scorches or the oil smokes, lower the heat.) When the bubbles that form on the edges of the pancakes look dry and airy, use a thin spatula to gently lift one side and peek underneath. If the pancake is golden brown, flip and cook on the other side for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until the bottom of the pancake is golden brown.

Tadka Dal – Lentils

Ingredients

  • 125 gm moong dal (gold lentils), washed and drained
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pinch of asafoetida
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 14 oz. can of tomatoes and chilis

Add water to lentils and turmeric in sauce pan. Get it boiling, then turn to low and cover. Check in 15 minutes. Add cumin, salt, garlic and asafoetida. When it gets thicker add tomatoes and chilis undrained. If it’s too thin you can drain the tomatoes and chilis. Mash with a fine potato masher and cook down to desired thickness. (Actually, I’m starting with less water and adding more to get desired thickness)

Dry Rub

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1/4 cup coarse salt
  • 2 tbsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper

Season meat with dry rub, then let sit 30 to 45 minutes before grilling.

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp. ginger chopped fine
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. sriracha
  • 2 tbsp. sugar or honey
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch

Roasted Carrots with Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp. Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp. Minced Garlic
  • Rosemary and Thyme
  • 5 lbs. Carrots cut into sticks

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cut the carrots into sticks. Coat with oil, then salt and pepper. Place on one or two baking sheets, bake for 15 minutes. Toss them once or twice for even cooking.

Mix the other ingredients for the vinaigrette for dipping or just pour over everything.

Peanut Sauce

  • 3 tbl creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbl soy sauce
  • 1 tbl lime juice
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Can be thinned with warm water as needed.
