Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Pancake makanan jadul yang kembali ngetrend ... dulu pernah posting resep pancake yang putih telurnya dikocok terpisah. Ribeettttt, masa masak pancake aja mesti ngegedein otot tangan atau ngeluarin mixer segala.

So, akhirnya ngubek-ngubek internet untuk cari resep pancake yang tinggal aduk2 aja .... karena pancake ini khan makanan sarapan buat orang-orang di amerika, kayaknya ngga mungkin deh resepnya ribet.

WOWWWW ...... rating 4,5 star dengan 5ribuan orang yang review .... 5 ribuan orang ngga mkn salah khan ?!

• Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (I only used half of this amount)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted (could be replace by any neutral taste oil)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Hahah, simple banget khan, ukurannya semua pake gelas ukur (ada juga versi metricnya sih, tapi males yah kalo pagi2 harus nimbang) dan cuma aduk-aduk aja dan beneran sejak nemu resep ini ngga pernah cari-cari lagi resep pancake .....

Tips dari gw untuk resep ini,
nomer 1 jangan kebanyakan diaduk-aduk cukup sampe grindilannya ilang aja, kalau ngga nanti gluten dari tepungnya terbentuk (itu rule of thumb untuk pancake & muffin).
nomer 2 jangan pernah lupa garamnya (tapi jangan kebanyakan juga masukin garamnya) ini bikin rasanya gurih bahkan ketika ngga pake butter sekalipun (hanya pake minyak).
nomer 3 setalah diaduk diamkan sekitar 5 menit sebelum dimasak supaya baking powdernya bekerja ...
nomer 4 pake non-stick pan & jangan dikasih minyak/butter/margarin sama sekali, biar cantik hasilnya. Dan hasilnya tetap enak koq, wong di dalam adonannya udah mengandung lemak. Panaskan pan dengan api kecil sampe agak panas baru masukkan adonan. Bunyinya harus "chessss .." saat adonan masuk.
nomer 5 orang amerika punya hubungan khusus kayaknya sama baking powder, mereka suka banget make bahan ini banyak-banyak. Kalau gw make hanya setengahnya aja dari resep, dan udah mengembang baik. Tapi gw memang pake yang double acting *, yang pastinya memang bekerja lebih baik dengan yang single acting. Jujur, belum pernah pake baking powder biasa untuk resep ini.

1 resep ini hasilnya 16 buah pancake ukuran kecil (kayak serabi) & 8 kalau besar-besar kayak ukuran orang-orang bule.

Pengen nunjukin hasil teksturnya sih, cuma potonya ngga ketemu nih, kapan-kapan diupdate lagi deh. Yang pasti buatan gw lebih cakep dari gambar di All Recipes itu loh ... 

* Double acting baking powder bukan berarti akan mengembangkan adonan 2 kali lebih besar dari baking powder biasa. Tapi baking powder jenis ini bekerja dua kali. Pertama saat bercampur dengan cairan & kedua saat pemasakan (pemanggangan). Sedangkan baking powder biasa hanya bekerja saat pemasakan.

Roti Kasur Kampung

Roti Kampung? Emang orang kampung makan roti? Bukannya makan singkong? Hehehhe ... Ya itu sebutan karangan gw aja sih terhadap roti ini, karena resepnya itu ya resep dasar roti tanpa bahan kimia yang aneh-aneh kayak bread improver dan kawan-kawannya. Teksturnya juga berongga kasar & berat, jadi jauh banget sama roti buatan bakery moderen yang ringan dan lembut. Makanya gw sebut sebagai Roti Kampung. Yah, walopun bikinnya sih tetap pake mixer yah, ngga banting-banting manual. Untuk tambahan kata kasur lebih karena bentuknya yang kayak kasur kapuk jaman dulu ...

Penggambaran teksturnya walaupun berongga kasar & berat, tapi tetap lembab & ngga keras loh, dan cocok banget tuh buat temen dicelupin ke kopi susu ... whooaaahhhh sluurrppp .....

Bahan:

• 200gr tepung protein tinggi (contoh Bogasari Cakra Kembar)
• 60gr tepung protein sedang (contoh Bogasari Segitiga Biru)
• 1 sdm susu bubuk
• 5 gram ragi instan ( kira-kira 0.5 sachet)
• 1 sdm gula
• 2 butir telur ukuran kecil (1.5 untuk adonan roti , 0.5 untuk olesan)
• 125ml air es
• 0.5 sdt garam
• 50gr margarin

Cara membuat:

Campur tepung, gula & ragi, aduk hingga rata, tambahkan telur & air, uleni hingga kalis. Masukkan margarin & garam uleni kembali sampai kalis elastis. Istirahatkan adonan 30 menit. Kempeskan, bagi menjadi 16 bagian, tata di loyang 22x22 cm yang telah dioles margarin, tata dengan jarak yang sama, agak jarang, karena nanti akan rapat ketika mengembang. Istirahatkan 30 menit, oles dengan sisa telur. panggang dengan suhu 180C 20 api bawah, kemudian 5 menit dengan api atas bawah atau sampai permukaannya kecoklatan ....
