How do you make spongy pancakes?
I love IHOP pancakes--they are spongy and soak up butter and syrup but
whenever I make pancakes at home they are dense and "cakey". What is the secret to making more spongy pancakes? |

That's not really "how", I took it as what is the chemistry behind spongier pancakes vs. denser pancakes. It's a legitimate question. He wasn't looking for a copy cat recipe (though that's probably not a bad way to answer it). One could put the copy cat recipe for ihop next to the poster's recipe for pancakes to see what the differences are. I guess that's a way to answer the question. But it's not really dependant on the poster's recipe. It was more of a general question. There is chemistry to food. Baking powder vs baking soda, one makes foods rise, the other makes it spread, I forget which is which. Some well known examples are Butter makes a tender pie crust, shortening makes a flaky crust. Butter yilds a tender, cakey cookie, while shortening yields a crispier one. Oil makes a denser coffee cake or carrot cake than butter and sour cream makes a moister cake than either. So I took the poster's question to be more of a food chemistry question than a recipe question. I would think (though this is just a guess) that there's more fat in ihop's pancakes than a standard at home recipe. thinking about how ciabatta, an italian bread with a lot of olive oil in the dough, is spongier and airier than for example, french bread, which has no fat and has a tighter crumb. It's the oil in the ciabatta that makes it that way. Pizza dough, same thing. Very thin crust pizza has virtually no oil in the dough, thicker crusted pizzas have a spongier dough, those have a lot of oil in the dough. Southern style biscuits, which are closer to pancakes as far as the dough goes, are fluffiest when there is more fat and a light touch on the kneading. So that's my thought. I think the secret to fluffy, spongier pancakes is a higher fat to flour ratio and mixing just until combined. |

You need some leavening, like baking powder or baking soda: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leavening_agent "A leavening agent (sometimes called just leavening or leaven) is a substance used in doughs and batters that causes a foaming action. The leavening agent reacts with moisture, heat, acidity, or other triggers to produce gas that becomes trapped as bubbles within the dough. When a dough or batter is baked, it 'sets' and the holes left by the gas bubbles remain, giving breads, cakes, and other baked goods their soft, sponge-like textures." HTH! |

CM wrote: > > I love IHOP pancakes--they are spongy and soak up butter and syrup but > whenever I make pancakes at home they are dense and "cakey". What is the > secret to making more spongy pancakes? You start off with the basic pancake ingredients, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and then add various chemicals and additives, preservatives, powdered eggs, powdered milk and strange solid fats. Sorry, but I have no appreciation for commercial spongy type pancakes. Pancakes are pretty easy to make but franchises make them so that the lowest paid kitchen staff and part timers can make the identical product every time in every store and it is a major disappointment for me that pancake speciality restaurants make some of the worst pancakes around. Do yourself a favour. Go out and get some buttermilk and make yourself a batch of buttermilk pancakes. If you don't want to pay for a quart of buttermilk to make just one batch then use whole milk, add a spoonful of vinegar to it and let it sit for a few minutes. You won't be going back to IHOP. |

That's fine but he didn't need to be insulting about it. If it's such a bother replying to somebody's usenet post then just don't respond! No need to be an ass.

"CM" > wrote in message ng.com... > I love IHOP pancakes--they are spongy and soak up butter and syrup but > whenever I make pancakes at home they are dense and "cakey". What is the > secret to making more spongy pancakes? Use GP flour or even bread flour. Do not use cake flour. Use reasonably fresh baking powder. Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Add wet to dry, very gently fold until just moistened. You'll see dry chunks of flour, no problem. Let it rest a few minutes, then gently fold again but not so much that all the bits of dry flour are mixed. You want to under mix, not over mix and use a gentle touch. A couple minutes rest before cooking is a good idea, it lets the flour absorb moisture and the leavening agents begin to activate. That's the secret. Oh, make them with buttermilk and add a couple tablespoons of corn meal to the recipe. I also like to use 4 eggs per pound of flour, most recipes call for 2. Paul |

But it's really sad that someone comes with an ON topic question and gets crap for it. Yet Jill can't figure out what to with a few english muffins and calls me an asshole and a newbie, and claims to killfile me because I ask her if she has a refrigerator. Although my question was sarcastic, her question was far more stupid than asking what the secret to pancakes was. The bully posting style of some of the regulars here must certainly repel potentially good new posters. Luckily there are some awesome posters here who are very helpful. Lou |

I am no expert, but I find if I make the batter and let it sit aside for an hour, it makes much better pancakes. To be honest, I use just bisquick, fresh eggs, extra amounts of whole milk - sometimes: bananas, vanilla and sugar. But the action of the stuff in the bisquick, when given the time, makes it bubble and get light and airy.

Pancake batter properly made is rather thick. My wife prefers pancakes made with thin batter---she adds milk or water. The cakes come out like rubber but that seems to be what she likes. Roughly 1 1/4 cups flour to each cup of liquid. More liquid than that gives something closer to crepes than pancakes. Best -- Terry |
