Baking Soda In Pancake Recipes,
Best Answer: Your first question of what is the purpose of baking soda in a pancake recipe, First it helps the batter to rise while cooking. It is generally used in conjunction with baking powder or cream of tarter to do this. Second it is used for flavor or to enhance flavor. If you experiment with a recipe using only baking powder and then the same recipe using baking powder and baking soda together you will taste the difference.
Some folks like the soda taste and some do not. I have been using self-rising flour to make pancakes for over 40 years. You will get the same rise with the self-rising flour if you add an egg to your recipe to give it a little more rising power, but you won't get the same taste as with plain flour and baking soda. If you cover your pancake with sweet maple or other strong syrup you will not notice that as much.
To ensure your pancake rises properly whisk the egg until it is light and lemon colored before adding your other ingredients in the recipe. My 1921 Calumet Baking Powder cook booklet reads in part the several substances which mixed together make the baking powder. Down the page it reads experience has taught that for best results the baking powder that is most desirable is that which contains white of eggs.

The club soda is the key for really fluffy pancakes and this recipe does not disappoint. I found that 1/2 cup of batter made really huge pancakes so I used a 1/3 cup measure and that worked better I thought.
Fluffy like Perkins. Best pancakes ever made in our house! Add a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, makes pancakes taste much better. I vaguely remember Perkins' pancakes, and these seemed pretty close to the same. They really were light and fluffy and good. I served myself too big of a stack, though, and got stuffed!
Not so sure these were Perkins style (closer to IHOPactually) but these pancakes were incredibly good. Very fluffy and filling. Eight thumbs up from our family of four! So, I love waffles. I mean, I make them all the time, usually from scratch. Decided to try this "copy cat" recipe and see how they were.
I was floored that they tasted just as good, if not better, than some I make totally from scratch. Nice to know I can get my waffle fix in even easier form when I need it! I agree that the club soda is key. You find it in a lot of recipes for both pancakes and waffles. I wouldn't have thought to use it with a mix though so kudos on the great recipe! Club soda is one of those cooking secrets that turn blah waffles into brilliant waffles!
The beauty is you're using a mix in this recipe but you can't tell. They taste like they are totally from scratch. Very good pancakes. These are very fluffy and 1/2 cup of the batter makes really good sized pancakes. I made up some large ones and then some silver dollar sized. Not exactly like Perkins but excellent pancakes, nonetheless. I made these exactly as the recipe said, but I used a nonstick griddle so I didn't use the oil. They have a very light texture, which was what we loved about them. The club soda did the trick!
I never thought about using it in the receipe. The pancakes came out light and fluffy! These tasted nothing like perkins pancakes! I followed the recipe exactly the way it said, they didn't taste to bad, but nothing like perkins! I LOVE Perkins pancakes, so when I found this recipe I was pretty excited to try it. I only had Sprite (for my soda), so I used it. I used softened butter instead of shortning (recipe) and oil (cooking).
A recipe for change, One more contest to go! Next week - NIFMA World's in Dublin then it's going to be a focus on gaining some more muscle over the next 18 months or so even tho I'm an old git now! I have found that prioritising basic compound movements has given me new found increases in lifts so perhaps some lean mass gain is possible,
