Best Pancakes:

[momsworry]

The best pancake flour I've found is Cooper's, made at the old Cooper mill in Humboldt NE. Here's what to do. I don't use exact measurement so it's not an exact thing.

1. Dump enough Cooper's flour into a mixing bowl, to feed your "bunch". If Cooper's is not available, the next best is Kruseaz.
2. Crack and throw in one large egg, (toss the shell in the trash).
3. Add 7up as your only liquid, add enough and stir to the right consistency. It's not necessary to get all of the lumps disolved but do the best that you can. If you stir, or whip the batter too much, it might make the pancakes tough.
4. Grill on a hot griddle or waffle iron. If a bead of water dances on it, it's hot enough. Turn the cakes only once.
5. Cover a hot cake with real butter and real maple syrup and you are done.

The 7up and it's carbonation makes the cakes lighter and fluffier than anything I've tried. I learned this trick from a guy that's worked in catering for a long time. Enjoy.

You mean Krusteaz don't you? Remember, I was a beancounter so we gotta get things right:}} I think Krusteaz is the way to go. I'll have to try it with the 7-up though. Sound interesting.

Yeah, you spelled it right. Cooper's is the better flour if you can get it though. I find it at one Hy Vee, the one at 90th & Center. I've not seen it in any other Omaha markets.

Thanks for the info-we use if for our fish batter and couldnt find it anywhere.
