Good Ol’ Fashioned Griddle Cakes
If you’re in a pinch you can make these work with just water (like i have done many times out in the woods!), but mixing with the following will yield some of the most delicious pancakes in this here world. Give it a try and let us know how you like them!
mix this all together:
1 cup griddle cake mix
3/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 large egg
1/4 tsp vanilla
Stir it all up til there are no lumps. It should be the consistency of… pancake batter. :) Toss a dab of butter into a medium hot frying pan, and pour in 1/4 cup of the batter, fry for a few minutes til you see bubbles all around the outside. Use a spatula to lift up an edge and see how it’s looking! When it looks ready, give it a flip and fry for another few minutes. Repeat for all the batter then cover in your favorite pancake toppings!
Black Pepper Parmesan Buns
in my bakery everything we make is sourdough and mostly whole grain, but i figured i would give you a yeasted recipe with all-purpose flour just because i figure more folks are likely to make with those ingredients. obviously if you wanna make this as a sourdough and/or whole grain, please do! it’s very delicious no matter what you do :) if you have a base dough recipe that you love then just go ahead and make that and fold in the cheese and pepper. otherwise, pour the following into a bowl:
DOUGH
3 ½ cups all purpose flour (we actually use a blend: half bread flour/half whole wheat)
1 ⅔ cups warm water (if you’re using some whole grain flour then you’ll have to increase this)
1 packet active dry yeast (or you can use ½ cup active sourdough pre-ferment instead)
2 tsp sea salt
CHEESE & PEPPER
1 cup chopped Parmesan cheese
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
mix until everything is all mixed together, cover with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for 12-24 hours. (if making sourdough you should give a couple of stretch and folds at room temp before putting in the fridge.) then you can cut into 6 ounce/fist-sized pieces of dough, and let proof in a cup for an or hour so, then plop out onto a parchment lined sheet pan and bake off for 15 minutes in a 450F oven. please eat while warm my friends, it doesn’t get any better.
