Oookie, where the hell'd I go wrong this time?
Fairy? A "my recipe went wrong again" thread? No! Yes, I suck at this. I know. So, here's the latest.
I made pancakes yesterday morning. I've made homemade pancakes from scratch before, as I won't use pancake mixes (bugs). I do a recipe with regular all purpose flour from the Kraft recipes webstie that turns out perfect every single time. But the thing was loading weird and I couldn't get a search box for "pancakes" and ended up using one that required self-raising flour. Now, I don't have any of that, and it said to make it yourself by adding 1tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt, which I did.
These pancakes were like raw tortillas. Terrible. WTF? Possible issues:
* Not using the self-rising flour?
* I got my griddle to 350 -- should it have been hotter?
* I used oil, even tho it's a "non-stick" griddle. With this batch they never browned nicely. They cooked, and they were stiff, but they didn't brown like a pancake should Was it the oil?
* I also used butter. With this batch, they never bubbled AT ALL, and when I finally said they've *got* to be ready and flipped them,they were rubbery. Even when done, they were rubbery and doughy and disgusting. Was it the butter?
Seriously, what the hell happened here?
