I DID IT!!
After 42 yrs of trying, I have duplicated the awesome short stack once served at Party Time Donuts, which burned down 41 yrs ago. No kidding. They were the most light, delicate, diaphanous, pancakes in the history of pancakes. I cried when PTD burnt to the ground jes a mere 6 mos after I discovered them. I've been trying most of my adult life to duplicate those awesome angel-light pancakes and I have finally succeeded! PTD Pancakes 3/4 C Lily White flour 3/4 C DIY butter milk 1 egg 2 T cooking oil 2 t baking pwdr 1/2 t baking soda 1/4 t salt Mix. Adjust milk amt for thin batter. Put in skillet. Notes: As one rfc'r pointed out, DIY b-milk works better than store bought. They were correct. I use 1 T lemon juice to 1 C milk, wait 5 mins. This specific flour is absolutely required. White Lily or Martha White. I realize now, that is the true secret. Southern soft Winter wheat flour. Pastry or cake flour, might be good enough. It don't bake fer dammit at 8000 ft and is basically useless for anthing else at this altitude, but it's perfect in these pancakes. The above is the what worked, this morning. PEFECTLY!! I refuse to be responsible if you change the amounts. Makes about ten 8" dia pancakes. I'm sure will work at any altitude. Even better with real butter and real maple syrple. Enjoy! nb (will now die happy!) |
