Pancakes

[jules]

protip: when adding the egg to your mix, separate out the yolk and white. add the yolk to your batter and in a different bowl, whip the shit out of the white. get it nice and frothy thick and then fold that into your batter. you will have super fluffy pancakes every time. enjoy.

are you kidding me? i'm going to eat the hell out of your fried pancake soup.

 

glad to be of service, kind sir! and yes, you are right: austria is the center of the culinary world!

[essines]

here in austria pancakes (called palatschinken) are really thin, so you can spread jam (like apricot, typically) on 'em & roll 'em up like these motherfuckers:

 

you can also fill them with curd & peaches/raisins/sweet stuff, top them with sweet sauce & put them in the oven, which is the real shit & has all the kcals you'll need forever:

 

now if you get tired of them palatschinken, you can cut them up & make frittaten, put them in a bowl of beef broth with some freshly chopped chive & be glad you're alive & in vienna. frittatensuppe:

 

so long, mahlzeit!

 

those are crepes. completely serperate thing. like pancakes and waffles.

I do pancakes from a mix wit some additions.

 

 

I get the "just add water" mix (either regular or wheat).

I then mix it by eye, not by the proportions specified on the boxen.

It's gotta look a little thin (just a little) in order to make em come out fluffy.

I then slice a banana in that shit and ad about a teaspoon or more of cinnamon and about a tablespoon or two of sugar.

 

I generously butter each pancake and serve hot.

 

It's true about the bacon, but that shit had better be thick cut andaple smoked or you just eatin average ass breakfast. Nowaimsayin?

 

As far as breakfast chain establishments go, Original Pancake House might be the best. If you live in America and haven't eaten at one, stop reading this shit, google that shit and bust out of whatever house-piece you livin in and GET ON THAT SHIT.

If you live outside of the USA, get on a fuckin plane, get over here and HIT THAT SHIT...HARD.

 

I come from Chicago. The best thing about that city is that there are a zillion restaurants with the word "pancake" on the title. They love some p-cakes in that part of the word.

Unfortunately, my favorite mom&pop style pancake place caught fire and burned to the ground :(

It sucks. I basically had been going there since birth.

RIP Grandma Sally's.

"In Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia pancakes are called palatschinke, palačinka, and palacinka, respectively (plurals palatschinken, palačinky, palacinky)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake

 

pancake: milk, egg, flour -> frying pan

crepe: milk, egg, flour -> frying pan

waffle: flour, water -> waffle iron

 

 

you're right though in one respect: a kaiserschmarrn is def. closer to american pancakes (although they are shredded)

They look like the ones we have over here. Can't say I really know the difference between a pancake like the pictured one and crepes. Only ever seem to have them on pancake day, which I believe is Shrove Tuesday.

all this talking about pancakes made me hungry. on my way to make me some elvis pancakes. thank you yek.

[essines]

the only difference i know of is that pankcakes are thicker, and crepes often get rolled up with fillings. i love them both but generally dont do the bacon thing with crepes.

[YEK]

am i the only one that likes to put peanut butter on pancakes with syrup? it's really good...

Yek, you're sick and you're going to stay sick.

False. Peanut butter on pancakes/waffles is win.

As a balkanese guy those "palacinke" is pretty much what I think of when someone says pancakes. Hail to our Austrian overlords! Here in Norway pancakes also look like those, while the thick ones look like a dish called "svele":

we went to ihop this morning because of this thread

[YEK]

mother-fuckin PANCAKES !

[Guest iep]

just talked pancakes with some german friends that grew up in DDR.

 

basically they didn't have pancakes in 1979.

 

 

enjoy your breakfast.

 

love the Austrian pancake-porn though! i'm moving to Graz soon actually..

[Kanakori]

 

 

wtf guys

[Guest iep]

aah so it took nearly two pages before the lizard came in :D

 

such a beautiful song from richie's golden age

Hail to our Austrian overlords!

 

would it be right for me to say thank you?

actually a lot of austria's culinary greatness is owed to having been a huge multinational monarchy & a melting pot in general- you can see that in the borrowing of words, like palatschinke < hung. palacsinta (< lat. placenta ), etc. the dialect i speak is abundant with czech words. beautiful.

love the Austrian pancake-porn though! i'm moving to Graz soon actually..

 

be prepared: austria is the youpr0n of sweets.

Hey, you fatties want some pancakes without all the calories?!

 

Here ya fucking go:

 

 

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup cottage cheese (try for low-sodium but it's not necessary; I used 2% - use fat-free or 1% if you want to lower calories)
  
• 1/3 cup instant/quick rolled oats
  
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  
• 1/4 vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 2 large eggs (use whites if you want to lower calories further, but generally not recommended)
  
• 50 grams of blueberries (I used frozen wild blueberries)
  
• 2-3 grams of butter, non-stick oil, or a few grams of coconut oil
  
• Sugar-free syrup (I used Walden Farms Calorie Free Pancake Syrup)
  

Makes Three large pancakes.

 

Instructions

1. Mix cottage cheese, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, eggs, and baking powder in blender until smooth.
   
2. Heat non-stick pan and add butter/oil of choice to pan.
   
3. Pour mixture into pan. Pour near the outside of the pan until you have your desired pancake radius.
   
4. Add blueberries to the raw side of the pancake.
   
5. When side is browning (a minute or so), flip pancakes.
   
6. When the other side is brown, flip onto plate and serve with syrup.
   

Here's some bomb-ass strawberry sauce to put on them bitches if you don't want regular syrup:

 

 

Strawberry Sauce

 

Yield: 4 servings (serving size about 1/3 cup)

• 16 ounces strawberries, fresh or frozen (unsweetened, thawed)
  
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  

Puree strawberries to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.

 

Eat that shit up and don't feel like a fatty loser afterwards!
