How to make Pancakes

Female: Pancakes! Male 1: That is right and no matter looks good, no matter what the lighting, Mike, Benninger from Time Management in Burlington. Female: Hi Mike! Mike: Good morning everyone! Male1: Okay are you making a low fat pancake or is that possible? Mike: It is possible which is not as much as fun. Male 1: Or is it tasty? Female: Now it is going to be all grainy and like whole grains? Mike: No. No. No, this is actually be, this is the traditional pancake not for a mix. This is not ed powder, this is actually how you make one from scratch. Male: They do not know how to – starch. Female: Yes. Male: But actually it can be and the funny thing about pancakes is they are actually consumed originally because you wanted to use up all the things in your larder that will going to go wrong during the 40 days of lent, except milk and eggs and flour would not keep so long. Male: Right. Mike: So that gives something simple and easy everyone could make pancakes to consume them. So we will start from scratch over here, unless if you would mind, that is one and a half cups of flour. Female: Okay. Mike: All right. So when I think of doing anything close to this, I just put a couple of eggs in the toaster. Male: Okay, do not worry about that right now we will add some more stuff. Female: Okay. Mike: This is some baking powder. One-tablespoon right there. Male: I am just the watcher. Mike: You are the watcher today. Male: Yes and that is quality control. Mike: That is sugar actually. That is how to deal with the sugar. Female: Oh, I think that is all the salt. Mike: No, and that is one half teaspoon salt. Okay so are we going to taste the difference between this made from scratch and the ready made pancake mixes and all the kinds of --. Male: What is the difference? Because you can put a little more ingredients. Mike: Actually, it might taste better. That is the difference. Male: Okay. Mike: No the difference is that you know exactly what in this. You know backwards in this and that can be a problem because I know my wife had a reaction to the nitrates that where one among in the commercial mixes one time. Male: Oh really? Mike And that was rather the frightening things so. Male: Yes, I noticed so I did not see any nitrates going in there. Mike: No you did not. Female: Yes nitrates are evil. Mike: They can be. Female: We do not want them Male: Evil nitrates. Mike: What we got here, these are the wet ingredients and I have got one egg. Male: That is good luck. Mike; One a few quarters cups of milk and two tablespoons of oil. Male: Okay. Mike: And that is it! That is all you need to make this. Male: That looks pretty easy actually. Female: Yes. Mike; There is no reason to—I believe buy a mix when you can make it this easily. Now one of the things you are in to those, is this will not keep, you cannot pre-make all this, you want to consume all this. Male: Oh really? Mike: This is a one-time thing, but the best part is there is only about 65 cents some ingredients here. Male: That is pretty cheap. Mike: Actually no, that is probably two box if you include the milk. Male: Okay. Female: That is pretty reasonable price. Mike: That is pretty reasonable. So that is the profit you make when you buy pancake mix. Female: Okay. Mike: Now when you mix this up though you only want to mix this just until it is combine, so that is kind of gluey and nasty. Female: Yes, so what happens if you over mix it? Mike: Well, what is happening is you create glute and gluten is not good. Gluten becomes the texture of bread that makes it very cleans but when you poke in to it, if you have that in pancakes they get very tough. Female: Right! That is when they get really thick and heavy and --. Mike: I am glutton for punishment also. So that is it. That is all about we can do. Male: Okay. Mike: But what actually does those that in medieval days you consume eggs which do not keep very well, you consume fat which does not keep very well. You consume milk which is you can keep very well. Female: Yes. Mike: You
