The Fluffiest Pancakes You Will Ever Have

Recipe #312103 | 1¼ hours | 35 min prep | add private note

I love pancakes. Who doesn't! These pancakes are actually inspired by a book character by Dean Koontz. The characters name is Odd Thomas and I imagine that if he were to serve me his fluffy pancakes in Pico Mundo that this is how they would be. Keep in mind that this recipe is just a method. You can add ANYTHING to these guys to jazz them up. I like blueberries, raspberries, and sometimes I even add scrabled eggs, crumbled sausage, and shredded cheese. Yum!

SERVES 4 -6 , 12 diner size pancakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat griddle to 325 or cast iron pan on medium low. Use vegetable shortening for lube.
  2. 2
    Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl beat 2 eggs with melted butter until creamy.
  4. 4
    Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and pour in some milk. No measurements needed. (Even the weather effects how much milk you will need. Eyeball it until you get a proper consistancy for a batter.)
  5. 5
    Use a spatula to stir all of your ingredients together just until combined. Lumps are OK and desired to yeild a tender batter.
  6. 6
    Cover your bowl of batter and let sit for 30 minutes! Your patience will be rewarded.
  7. 7
    After the batter has been left to rest dip a heaping 1/2 cup measure of batter onto griddle for diner/restaurant size pancakes. Flip pancakes when golden brown and delicious.
  8. 8
    ENJOY! ;).

I adore Odd Thomas and love his description of his short order cook recipes! These pancakes will make me think of ol' Odd and Pico Mundo every time!
