Pancakes
Soy Flour Pancakes
Servings: 8
1 tablespoon soy flour
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
Combine soy flour, water, and 1/4 cup milk; beat with a whisk until foamy. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. Lightly grease frying pan with vegetable oil. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into frying pan. Tilt and rotate frying pan to spread batter slightly. Cook pancake until puffed, full of bubbles, and golden brown around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
Variations
Fold in 1/2 cup - 1 cup fresh blueberries before frying.
Alphabet Pancakes
Reserve 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Dilute batter by mixing in 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon milk. Batter should pour smoothly. Use batter to write letters onto hot frying pan. Fry until puffed, full of bubbles, and golden brown around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown. Pour about 1/4 cup batter over letter. Proceed as usual.
Waffles
Don't pay top dollars for store-bought waffles or a waffle iron. My mother bought a waffle iron for me at our local flea market for $3. About a month later, I found another waffle iron at the same flea market. Make surplus waffles and freeze them. Reheat them in either a toaster or a microwave.
Servings: 16-18 3-inch square waffles
2 eggs
2 cups flour (white or whole-wheat)
1-3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat waffle iron to medium-high. Using a heat-resistant pastry brush or a crumpled piece of baking paper, grease waffle iron with margarine. Beat eggs until frothy. Add remaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour enough batter into each section to just cover; add more milk if batter is too thick to pour. Close waffle iron. Open waffle iron when steam stops escaping. Pry waffles loose with a fork, if necessary.
Variation
Other ingredients, such as blueberries, may be added to the waffle batter, just as you would add ingredients to pancake batter. Also, other ingredients, such as nuts, may be sprinkled over the waffle sections before the waffle iron is closed.
Food Processor Waffles
I prefer to make waffles in a food processor. I then have fewer baking utensils and dishes to wash and they are physically easier to make.
Use ingredients above, but add 1/4 cup non-instant skim milk powder (the food processor will mix it up). Process eggs in food processor until frothy. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Follow cooking instructions above.
