They look tasty.

Pandemicakes? What time tomorrow?

Mmmm... Pancakes.



I love pancakes.

Lately, I've been digging the Kodiak Cakes pancake mix. Not quite as good as from-scratch, but much easier/quicker. They have a slew of different flavors too, if that's your thing.

And best of all, these have a good amount of protein... 21g per serving if you use the optional milk and egg. (14g with just water.) They're tasty pancakes, and it's not all just carbs and sugar.

We love Kodiak cakes in our household...mmmmm

Did'ja whip the separated egg whites in a copper bowl, folding them in last?

No, there is not. Just like there is no other syrup for them beyond real deal maple syrup.

I made homemade waffles for the family last night (pancakes were last week). We do breakfast for dinner pretty regularly around here.

I like pancakes. They look good.

All I did today was clean the garage. Well maybe just reorganized the mess .

I may just have to bake some bread tomorrow. I just got a new Cuisinart Air fryer/toaster oven and a friend sent me a recipe for rosemary sour dough bread. I also have not made pretzel bread in a while.

Those look good. That fresh red wheat flour sounds interesting.

Balze, there is no other way!

Wife brought a box of Kodiac Cakes home but was able to talk me off the phone while I was on hold with the lawyer.

No, I do not whip the egg whites, too much trouble.

Only use real maple syrup, no Log Cabin in this house. (And real butter too)

I use hard red wheat for the nuttier flavor. There is hard white but is is milder. The soft grains are used for cake batter and pastries.

Do you mind posting recipe? I am not in a need yet to break into my supply of hard wheat to grind it into a flour. To date I have only made pancakes with bisquick or some other easy method so I am curious on how to make them with just ground flour as the starting ingredient.

Be glad to StorminNormin.

3 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup oil
4 eggs
3-4 cups buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients together then add liquids. Stir until mixed. I start with 3 cups buttermilk and add more until I get the consistency I want.

Just another day in paradise.

Every day is a holiday ...

We got a copper bowl, whisk, and hand-lettered buttermilk pancake recipe as a wedding present. My (now deceased ex-) wife went through the steps a few dozen times during our marriage. The biggest obstacle was having buttermilk on hand when we wanted pancakes. But it sure makes all the different.

The only sweet treat in the house right now is maple syrup. I'll put it in baked beans and on oatmeal.

Oatmeal with maple syrup is my "pancake stand-in", on days when I want pancakes but don't have the time.

Thank you sir!

I will be whipping up a batch this morning - not scratch but mix as that is all
I have handy, but any pancake is a good pancake from my perspective

Just finish a marathon batch of pancakes, 4 one gallon ziplock bags w/16 pcakes each. One each for home, daughter, son and granddaughter.

A quick memory, Dad was in the Navy during WWll, he said they called pancakes collision mats and would hang them over the side if in danger of a collision or coming into port to protect the paint. Navy chow!

In a previous pancake thread, a while ago, everybody sang the praises of Krusteaz, so I went out and bought Krusteaz.

Now we're changing our tune? What, we don't like Krusteaz any more?

Krusteaz pancakes are too sweet, IMO.

Their mix has 4x as much sugar (11g), and has 1/5th the protein (only 4g), compared to Kodiak (3g of sugar and 21g of protein).

Kodiak pancakes are not only better for you, and taste better, but they keep you full longer.

That why the Krusteaz mix will made excellent waffles. That is my go to waffle mix.
