Supplies Needed to Make Kosher Pancakes

To make Kosher Pancakes, you’ll need a few basic kitchen supplies and kosher-approved ingredients. You will need the ingredients listed above and something to heat the batter on. I prefer my griddle, because I can make multiple pancakes at one time and it cooks them all evenly and quickly. You could use a well buttered and heated cast iron skillet, or a regular skillet.

1. Large Mixing Bowl-For mixing your dry and wet ingredients together.
2. Measuring cups and spoons-To accurately measure the ingredients.
3. Whisk or spoon- For mixing the batter.
4. Spatula- To flip the pancakes while cooking.
5. Non-Stick skillet or griddle- To cook the pancakes. Make sure you have a large skillet. 
6. Ladle or measuring cup- To pour the pancake batter into the pan.
7. Serving Dish (optional).

What are Kosher Certified Ingredients?

Salt

Kosher Salt: This salt is a type of course, flat-grained salt that is commonly used in cooking. It gets its name from its use in the process of koshering meat, where it helps to draw out blood from the surface in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. Unlike table salt, kosher salt typically does not contain additives like iodine and has larger, more irregular crystals, making it easier to control during seasoning. 

Kosher Salt Brand: Morton Kosher Salt is a popular brand of kosher salt known for its coarse texture and versatility in cooking. It has larger, flakier crystals, which make it easier to control during seasoning. You will want to look for the fine ground salt, but if you can’t find it, take the back of a spoon and a cutting board and press down on the salt to break it up into smaller pieces. 

Flour

Kosher Flour: Kosher flour meets strict dietary standards, starting with the use of grains that follow kosher guidelines. Manufacturers produce it in facilities where it is closely supervised during every step, ensuring no cross-contamination with non-kosher products. To keep flour pure, they also make sure that the equipment used remains kosher-certified. Consumers choose kosher flour for its adherence to these religious requirements, knowing it supports their kosher lifestyle and cooking practices.

Kosher Flour Brand: Bob’s Red Mill Kosher All-Purpose Flour is a versatile flour that meets kosher dietary standards and is commonly used in baking and cooking. It is produced by Bob’s Red Mill, a well-known brand in the natural and organic food industry. This flour is certified kosher, which means it meets the requirements of Jewish dietary laws. It has a fine texture, making it ideal for a variety of baking needs, including bread, cakes, cookies, pancakes, and pastries. 

Baking Powder

Kosher Baking Powder: Kosher baking powder is a leavening agent used in baking that adheres to kosher dietary laws. It is made from kosher-certified ingredients and processed in facilities that comply with those standards. Like regular baking powder, it helps baking goods rise and gives cakes, pancakes, and other baked goods a light and fluffy texture. 

Kosher Baking Powder Brand: Clabber Girl Baking Powder is a double-action baking powder that is both gluten-free and kosher. You can find this brand at most local grocery stores. 

Butter

Kosher Butter: Kosher butter is butter that meets the requirements of Jewish dietary laws. To maintain these standards, producers use milk from kosher animals, and rabbinical supervision oversees every step, from milking to processing. Kosher butter must also be made with equipment dedicated to kosher products to prevent contamination with non-kosher foods. Consumers can confidently enjoy kosher butter, knowing that it aligns with their religious practices and dietary needs.  

Kosher Butter Brand: Kerrygold butter is a popular brand of butter that is made from the milk of grass-fed cows raised on Irish farms. This butter is known for its rich, creamy taste and golden color, which comes from the cows’ natural grass-based diet. Kerrygold offers both salted and unsalted varieties. Not all Kerrygold butter is kosher. However, Kerrygold does offer kosher-certified versions of their butter, which will have a kosher certification symbol on the packaging.

What can I eat with Kosher Pancakes?

1. Whipped Cream-Add some fresh whipped cream when serving.
2. Fresh Fruit- Fresh berries, sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, apple cinnamon, lemon curd, lemon juice, or a fruit salad make for a great topping and side.
3. Scrambled Eggs- A light, fluffy side that adds some extra protein to the meal. You can make these using large eggs or egg whites. 
4. Drinks- Fresh coffee, orange juice, hot chocolate, and milk.

How much batter should I pour for each pancake?

My griddle makes six pancakes at a time. Size them based on how many will fit on your griddle.  If you want exact, use a ¼ sized measuring cup or ½ sized measuring cup.

Batter Options for Kosher Pancakes

Add in blueberries for delicious blueberry pancakes or top with some sauteed bananas for a fun Saturday morning treat. Add a little butter to your stack of pancakes and enjoy. Adding in mini-chocolate chips make for rich chocolate chip pancakes.

Leftovers

First, let the leftover pancakes cool. Then, put them in a gallon sized bag or an airtight container. You can wrap pancakes in cling wrap to keep them fresh. Although they can sit out for the day in a bag, I would still recommend refrigerating them after that. We usually only have one or two left over at the most. They go pretty quickly around here. Kosher pancakes are a perfect anytime food and hungry kids can enjoy these fluffy pancakes with a light dusting of confectionery sugar and warm syrup. The best way is your way!
