How to Make Perfectly Fluffy Pancakes | Food Skills

Creating the perfect pancake is both a science and an art form. Mix the ingredients too long and the batter starts to run on the griddle. Flip the flapjack too late and the cake can lose its golden-brown finish. Overload the stack with toppings and the hotcakes becomes a soggy mess of molten maple sugar. Yes, the road to mastering one of the world's most beloved comfort foods is paved with the careful measuring of ingredients and more than a touch of baker's intuition. At Clinton Street Baking Co., one of NYC's most popular brunch destinations, chef-owner Neil Kleinberg has pushed the pancake to pillowy new heights. Stuffed with pumpkin, banana, and chocolate chips, and smothered in a rich, house-made maple butter, the fluffy stacks at Clinton Street Baking Co. are the platonic ideal of what a pancake should be.

No recipe provided, here's the one I use (they look very similar to this):
1.5 cups flour
1.25 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp butter (melt first)
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
0.5 tsp salt
1 egg
Makes enough for 1 extremely hungry person or two regular people ;)

[@latchkeyed8474]

Chad Eichhorn bless your sweet soul chad, making chads look better every where +1

[@archangelkage]

Good recipe, word of advice for those who want something "healthier", you can use yogurt instead of butter. It also helps a rookie make a fluffier pancake

[@theridor]

How much baking powder would I use in a large batch for around 100 servings? I'm new to working in a restaurant kitchen and its hard to find recipes for things in bulk.

[@ChadEichhorn]

Like, multiply by 50?
50 tbsp = 3 cups and 2 tbsp

[@theridor]

Cool, thanks

[@WeArePharmers]

Because of this channel, I have so many NYC places bookmarked on Yelp.

[@SoFlyIndustry]

With a bit of butter and with a nice dosage of butter, make the butter melt to mix it nicely with the butter.

[@dannyj7716]

Buttery butter over-buttered syrup comin right up

[@vitordebruim8634]

Dont forget , they used butter

[@vitordebruim8634]

I was skeptical when first clicked the video but was VERY satisfied in the end. Objective, fast , simple and clear! Amazing!

[@emforwardslash_em4570]

My friend recommended this spot when my wife and I went to NY back in Dec. Their Chicken and Waffles are hands down, the BEST I've ever had. We still talk about them :)

Nicholas Mooney
*He literally told you everything you need to know* 😑

[@jacklyall1378]

not the amounts foolish child. With his recipe you could use 14 cups of vanilla 3 cups of baking powder and half a teaspoon of flour.

[@saturnwings]

Use any decent recipe. Separate eggs and whip the whites. Do everything else the same and fold in whites as the last step before cooking.

[@mikesimpson9942]

This might be my favorite one yet.

[@GabeVR_]

[@Picasso_Picante92]

Hi Neil! Tony in Japan (former student of cousin Marty). We met at the opening of your Tokyo shop. Good to see you online! I still visit your place in Aoyama, and it's busy as usual. Since we last met I have opened up my own Brooklyn themed Food truck called Back2Brooklyn. Please let me know the next time you are in Tokyo! Cheers.

[@awwwkitteh]

this place certainly serves one of the best pancakes I've ever had... I guess the secret is in the butter??

[@mypal1990]

I always go to diners just for the sheer size of the pancakes. But this is actually all right for pancakes.

[@Olematonnimi]

[@ss4yaasir524]

Im alrdy hungry from ramadan and watching this im starving now

[@Me-by8qi]

I make a "cream" out of the yolks, sugar and milk.
I then add the flour and baking powder mix into the "cream" and fold in stiff peaks whisked egg whites.

[@MakoRuu]

I want some pancakes now.

[@henrymatthews9365]

Lol now I want pancakes

[@MaverickBaking]

Whipping the egg whites makes them extra fluffy too! Also, when I die, bury me in that maple butter.

[@MotleyStew]

That just made me interested in trying Crack!
When you compare your topic to something else, usually that something else is even better than what you’re comparing. Otherwise he’d have said ‘It’s more addicting than Crack.’

[@MotleyStew]

..and how does he know Crack is addicting?? LoL

[@cafezo87934]

yum

[@buerger3]

A little tipp instead of baking soda throw some sparkling water in it. They get nicely cross and thick. And then instead of cream or other sweet stuff, eat them with a good bolognese sauce. To die for!

[@cherrytomatovevo]

Those pancakes look very noice.

[@BigWillyVlogsTV]

Everyday IS PANCAKE DAY, and I believe MY recipe is the best :P

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Leave lumps in batter. I could cook for ya. Mine are so good. I’m from North Minnesota and Canada. Real maple from sugar shack. Real blue berries

[@jasonmedina1319]

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

People salivate over the pancakes however the fried chicken. Is equally good
The fried green tomatoes are also very delicious!

[@biteme263]

Not a fan of pancakes but the maple butter pancakes looked really good.
