ARP Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Some of the best tasting pancakes as far as I'm concerned are from Cracker Barrel. Somehow, when they cook them they have a crusty top. So I asked how did they do that. The waitress said that they let the batter rest once they make it for about 20 minutes, and it must be a quality mix. I have been using Krustez lately. They have a recipe for a peanut butter and banana cakes, good stuff. Edited February 17, 2019 by ARP 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I tend to cook them in a pan with a lot of butter, and usually make sure to mix an egg or three into the batter, even if the mix doesn't call for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofri Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think I once heard you need to make the batter and refrigerate overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I make some I am going to give it a try and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWalrad Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Put a spoonful of bacon grease into the mix. You're welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshe Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I have refrained from being excited when my wife claims she is making pancakes. Half the time it ends up being like a Swedish tortilla. She also doesn't appreciate her "panuacken" or whatever it is called, a doughy pan that should have been pancakes that I call "pan-o-cock-in" My late Mother-in-Law made me eat Ludafisk. Basically, fish with lye that turns it into something that makes hospital JELLO delightful. Of, course I got myself in trouble again by calling Ludacris.

Al Czervik Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Buttermilk makes the best pancakes. But, you definitely don't want to let the batter sit more than a few minutes. Cook them on a cast iron griddle with plenty of lube. You will get crispy tops and bottoms with fluff in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I've seen the trucks. They pour it out of cartons from Sysco and have old-timey crap all over the place. Just like Grandma used to!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonny Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I made waffles yesterday. No mix; simple to throw them together. Batter in the fridge for awhile before hitting the griddle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
