Waffles and Pancakes
You can make the best waffles and pancakes with the cast iron griddles and pure Vermont Maple Syrup.

So flip the pancakes and pour on the syrup...

The Best Pancake Recipe Ever
I cook them at a medium heat on a cast iron griddle. The cast iron cooks at an even temperature.
Whenever I have guests come to stay they always ask for my pancakes.
1 1/2 cups flour1 tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
Preheat a cast iron griddle.
Whisk the wet ingredients together.
Add the dry ingredients and mix just enough to combine thoroughly.
If there are some lumps left, it's okay. When the batter cooks they'll smooth out but if you over mix the batter they'll be tough and won't rise up well.

Warriors - Do Kits Like Waffles?
I did this for a Squidoo lens at squidoo.com/griddlecakes. During their kithood (I know they're too small, but it's funnier that way, you'll see) Bluekit, Redkit, Spottedkit, Lionkit and Tigerkit are gifted with the power to digest Twoleg food, and THEY DISCOVER WAFFLES! All the kits like waffles, but Tigerkit gets in so much trouble with the waffles he finally says what no kit has said before. So please stop reading the description and WATCH IT!

Waffle and Pancake Cookbooks
My pancake and waffle recipes come from the Joy of Cooking.
The Joy of Cooking was the first cookbook I ever owned and after 25 years I still use it nearly every day.
The recipes are basic and cover most recipes that you could look for. The detailed instructions are very helpful when learning a new recipe but the pages are set up for quick reference when you just need a refresher.
I often give The Joy of Cooking as a wedding gift or to someone just starting out on their own.
You can never have enough cookbooks but if you can only have one, this is the one to buy.
Pancake Griddles
Griddlecake craving? Nothing to make them with? Today's your lucky day! Buy them here!
Pour on the Syrup
Garner Rix will teach you how maple syrup was made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It still tastes as good today as it did in his day.
BASIC WAFFLE RECIPE
Preheat the waffle iron
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
8 eggs, separated
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. milk
1. In a small bowl, mix flour and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
3. In another large bowl, beat egg yolks with electric mixer on high speed until thickened and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in melted butter.
5. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to yolk mixture, beating well after each addition.
6. Fold egg whites into yolk mixture.
Pour 1 cup of batter for each waffle and cook for about 4 until the steam stops and waffle is golden brown.
Makes 6.

Flip the Pancake Game
Great online games for kids 0-10.
- Flip the Pancake Game
- Click on the ingredients to make the pancake mix.
You can play this game in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch. - Pancake race ..a strange tradition
Pancake race is quite interesting race where large number of people raced down the street tossing pancake and trying not to drop them. It's relay type race and there are four people in each team and there is about 30 to 40 yards stretch. Each member has to run up this stretch carrying a frying pan with a pancake inside it. On the way, they have to flip the pancake in the air at least twice. When they get the end, they have to pass the pan with the cake to the next member who then runs back. If you drop the cake then you have to pick it up and put it back in you frying pan. Unless you finish the race with your pancake in your frying pan, you automatically disqualified.

The Pancake Collector
by Jack Prelutsky
Come visit my pancake collectionIt's unique in the civilized world
I have pancakes in every description,
Pancakes flaky and fluffy and curled
I have pancakes of various sizes
Pancakes regular, heavy and light
Underdone pancakes and overdone pancakes
And pancakes so perfectly right
I have pancakes locked up in the closets
have pancakes on hangers and hooks
There are bags in boxes and bureaus
And pressed in the pages of books
There are pretty ones sewn to the cushionsAnd tastefully pinned to the drapes.
The ceilings are coated with pancakes
And pressed in the pages with crepes.
I have pancakes in most of my pockets
And concealed in the lining of suites
There are tiny ones stuffed in my mittens
And large one packed in my boots
I have extra of most of my pancakes,
I maintain them in rows on these shelves
And if you say nice things about them
You may take a few home for yourself
I see that you've got to be going
Won't you let yourselves out by the door?
It is time that I pour out he batter
And bake up a few hundred more

Cast Iron Cookware can add Iron to Your Diet
Cast iron cookware is known for its durability and even heat distribution. This iron is the same iron that your body needs to produce red blood cells. As you cook on your cast iron skillet or griddle trace amounts of the iron seep off into your food helping to ensure that you and your family get enough iron.

Irish Potato Pancakes
IRISH POTATO PANCAKES
1/2 lb. raw potatoes
1/2 lb. potatoes, boiled & mashed
2 eggs
2 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 sm. onion, finely grated
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
Peel the raw potatoes and coarsely grate them on to a clean cloth. Wring the cloth to extract as much moisture from the potatoes as possible. Put the grated potato in a large mixing bowl. Add the mashed potatoes and beat in the eggs with a wooden spoon.
Add the flour, salt, pepper, grated onion and milk to the egg and potato mixture. Stir with the wooden spoon until all the ingredients are combined.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, drop 2 or 3 large spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden and crisp round the edges.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet, transfer them to a heated plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep them warm. Cook the remaining pancakes, adding more butter to the pan if needed. If necessary, the pancakes may be kept warm in a very low oven. Serve the pancakes as soon as they are all cooked.

I'm so hungry now I've seen your fabulous pancakes and waffles. My goodness, the potato cakes take me back to childhood. Although our family isn't Irish they were something we had from time to time and we thought they were such a big treat, served with butter melting on them. Posted August 23, 2008 |
