To Make Pancakes From Scratch

stack of pancakes

Pancake Recipe Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 ½ cups milk
2 tbsp butter, melted

 
Sift together first three ingredients (to prevent lumps). In a separate bowl, mix egg and milk, then add it to flour mix, stirring until just smooth. Then stir in butter. If you want to mix it up, throw in blueberries, a tiny dice of apple, or bits of banana. Grease a griddle or nonstick pan with cooking spray or a little vegetable oil. Heat pan on medium for about ten minutes. Pour batter to form pancakes of whatever size you like. Cook first side until bubbles form on top, about three minutes; then flip and cook other side until it, too, is brown, about two minutes. Serve immediately with butter and syrup or hold briefly in warm oven. Serves four.

How To Make Chewy Brownies

What You Need

Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Equipment
Metal 8×8-inch baking pan
Parchment
Baking spray or butter for greasing the pan
3-quart saucepan
Whisk
Spatula or wooden spoon
Toothpick

Instructions

  1. Line a baking pan with parchment: Heat the oven to 350°F and move an oven rack to the center of the oven. Line a metal 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides of the pan. Lightly grease the pan and parchment with baking spray or butter.
  2. Melt butter and chocolates in a saucepan: Melt the butter and both chocolates in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the sugar: Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar and brown sugar. The mixture will be grainy.
  4. Add the eggs: Whisk in the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder, then fold in the walnuts, if using.
  6. Spread the batter in the pan: Spread in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake the brownies: Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until a tester comes out with just a few crumbs. The edges should look firm and well-baked, and the center should be moist but not gooey.
  8. Chill the brownies: Immediately put in the refrigerator to cool. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. Brownies will be at their chewiest when completely cool. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days, well covered.

How To Make Vanilla Cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes

Reference : http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cupcakes_93722

Ingredients

For the buttercream icing

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

  2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon, adding a little milk until the mixture is of a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are half full.

  4. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.

  5. For the buttercream icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth.

  6. Then add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk, adding more milk if necessary, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  7. Add the food colouring and mix until well combined.

  8. Spoon the icing into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe the icing using a spiralling motion onto the cup cakes in a large swirl.
