How does McDonald's make their hotcakes?

Answer 1

You mix your batter, generally flour, water (or milk), salt, some leavening, using baking powder and/or baking soda, some oil, some sweetener and an egg. It's usually the same ingredients, just different proportions as biscuits and cake, just runnier.

Get a hot skillet, I prefer cast iron, make sure it's well-seasoned. the rigth temperature is when a drop of water dances on it. Add a little bit of oil, pour the batter until it's the size of pancake you want. When the bubbles start popping, and the edges turn a little dry, gently lift up one edge of the pancake, see if it looks done. If so, flip it over.

When the cooked side is up, after a minute or so, feel the pancake. If it feels soft to the touch, it's done. Use the spatula to remove it from the pan. If you want to serve a lot all at once, keep the cooked pancakes in a warm oven unti they are all done.

Serve with real butter and real maple syrup. Or not. Maybe some fakey syrups made from sugar-water and chemical flavorings if that's what you like.
