Yes, that's an American flag on my pancake!
***{Update: we now have a winner...Michelle of Lionden Landing. Congrats, Michelle! Have fun!}***
When the folks at Teflon.com contacted me and asked if I'd like to try their Flip It pancake pan and give one away....I said, "OF COURSE!"

The pan is pretty neat. It has a removable dish that imprints a pattern onto the food. Apparently, there are several patterns...even one that says,"Good Morning!" Wouldn't that be fun?!?

We gave it a try this morning for our Lemon Blueberry Pancakes and it worked great. My son said, "Oh, COOL!" upon seeing his pancake and didn't complain that his pancake was filled with blueberries instead of his usual chocolate chips! {Hey...I think we're onto something here.}
I can't wait to try this with grilled cheese sandwiches!
Here are a few tips I found helpful when using the Flip It.
1 large egg
1 c unbleached, all-purpose flour
3/4 c milk
1 TBSP sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
2 TBSP vegetable oil
zest from one lemon
a couple handfuls of blueberries
2 TBSP butter, melted for the pan
Whisk the egg in a bowl until fluffy. Add flour through lemon zest and whisk until smooth.

If using the Flip It pan, brush both sides with melted butter and follow the instructions for heating the pan. Add 1/2 c batter to the dish side and drop in blueberries. Cook until sides are dry and middle is covered with large bubbles. Flip and cook on remaining side, 3 minutes.

If using a regular griddle, pour 1/4 c batter on to preheated griddle. Drop on blueberries. Cook until sides are dry and middles are bubbly. Flip and cook until other side is golden brown.

Serve with butter and sifted powdered sugar.

Here are a few tips I found helpful when using the Flip It.
- Ignore the instructions that a gas stove must be set on the lowest setting. After waiting, and waiting and waiting for the first pancake to cook through, I cranked up the heat to 3 on the next one. The pancake cooked quicker, more golden brown and was actually a bit fluffier.
- Close the lid as the first side cooks. The pancake cooks up a lot faster than leaving it open.
- Don't flip until the top is covered with lots of large bubbles and the edges look dry. (Just peek under the lid every so often.)

That looks so fun! Breakfast is always a fight at my house (well not really fight because I always win! ;) but it's a struggle!)
ReplyDeleteMy 4 yr old son doesn't like anything "breakfasty" so it's hard to get him to eat something healthy and filling. The only good thing is that fruit is his absolute favorite food!!!
I think this would be so fun! If he could choose what design to use I think he'd def. like to eat the pancakes!
It's so cute!!
I just love holidays. This would be a great way to start off a holiday breakfast. Grilled sandwichs would be nice too.

You hsd me at pancakes! My son, on the other hand, is fascinated by the fact that you can imprint things on the pancakes! They are little pancake works of art when you are 7 years old, I guess. Your recipe looks delicious, too!

ReplyDeletersgrandinetti@yahoo(dot)com
I used to have a pan similar to the flip it but it didn't work very well, so I tossed it. But your tips make sense.... maybe it would have worked then? Or this is just a better pan. LOL. Anyway, my girls and I love pancakes and we are super sad not to be in the US anymore, since we cannot go out for pancakes anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy 5 year old daughter insists on helping when we have our pancake breakfast weekends. She grabs her step,apron and spatula and she truly makes our pancakes. This would be such a lovely surprise. I know she'd "flip".
ReplyDeleteThat recipe sounds amazing! I am going to try it soon. And the pan would be a wonderful addition to kick up a little fun for my kids in the morning!
