Today is the birthday of Irma Rombauer, author (with her daughter Marion Rombauer Becker) of that kitchen classic, The Joy of Cooking<\/em>. In her honor, I post, along with this sketch, my family\u2019s favorite whole-grain pancake recipe, a standard here for everyone\u2019s birthday breakfast, as well as for many Saturday mornings. I have tried out quite a few pancake recipes on the gang over the years, but they always insist on this one from good old Joy<\/em>. Happy Birthday, Irma Rombauer! I hope that wherever you are the food is good.<\/p>\n

Joy of Cooking Whole Grain Griddle Cakes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sift and measure:<\/span><\/address>\n
3\/4 cups whole grain flour<\/span><\/address>\n
3\/4 cups cake flour (but I use unbleached white)<\/span><\/address>\n
Resift with:<\/span><\/address>\n
1 tsp salt (but I use just a pinch)<\/span><\/address>\n
3 T sugar plus 2 T molasses (but I use 3 T brown sugar instead)<\/span><\/address>\n
1-3\/4 tsp baking powder<\/span><\/address>\n
Beat lightly:<\/span><\/address>\n
1-2 eggs (depends on egg size)<\/span><\/address>\n
If you double the recipe (which I ALWAYS do), you can separate the eggs and beat the whites separately.<\/span><\/address>\n
Mix beaten egg (or yolks) with:<\/span><\/address>\n
3 T melted butter<\/span><\/address>\n
1-1\/4 cups milk (but I use buttermilk)<\/span><\/address>\n
Then blend wet and dry ingredients. Fold in stiffly beaten whites gently, if you have reserved them.<\/span><\/address>\n
If it\u2019s a birthday, I make shaped pancakes (animals, hearts, initials). I use a pointy spoon.<\/span><\/address>\n
