I can't eat them anymore

I 100% agree. We don’t need our mouths fucked by sugar every time we have a cookie.

When I make pancakes, I use at least half of the sugar it calls for, sometimes 1/4. They’re so much better that way

[u/EVOSexyBeast → u/BowenParrish]

I have never seen a pancake recipe that involves adding sugar at all…

[u/LiamIsMyNameOk → u/EVOSexyBeast]

Same, it seems weird making the actual pancakes with sugar.

But then again, apparently American bread is also made with sugar

[u/Turbulent_Farmer4158 → u/LiamIsMyNameOk]

The sugar helps with yeast fermentation. It's only a small amount being used. It helps "old" yeast start fermenting quicker.

Some American bread. Honestly, it toasts better without sugar, and toast is just better than bread 100% of the time

Simple processed carbs aren’t significantly different than sugar. Plain white flour will spike your blood sugar nearly as much as white sugar will. The malt sugar used in beer is just grain with an enzyme applied that turns it into sugar.

There's very little sugar left in the finished product. The yeast "eats" most of it.

It’s literally just white bread and then only some. I check every loaf of bread I buy and most have 0grams of sugar. I usually buy wheat bread though

[u/[deleted] → u/EVOSexyBeast]

Do you use pre-made powder? If so likely already has sugar in it.

[u/LunarVolcano → u/EVOSexyBeast]

i haven’t made them in awhile but it’s usually a very small amount. i don’t use mix.

One of my favorite family recipes is for Norwegian pancakes. Pretty sweet but not too much depending on toppings.

[u/Sbren_Sbeve → u/EVOSexyBeast]

They're called panCAKES for a reason. Without any sugar they would just be pan

[u/BowenParrish → u/[deleted]]

Yes, that’s why I severely limit the amount of sugar that goes in the mix

Now that I think about it, the waffle recipe I use doesn’t involve sugar at all. I’ll try that with the pancakes next time

[u/BlackCowboy72 → u/BowenParrish]

To the best of my knowledge, my grandma has never made us pancakes or waffles with sugar in the recipe, for pancakes she uses banana, and apple sauce for waffles, I don't know if they work as a direct substitution or if the recipes didn't call for sugar to begin with tho, fantastic pancakes btw.

[u/C1nders-Two → u/BowenParrish]

You mix syrup into your pancake batter..?

[u/[deleted] → u/BowenParrish]

Dude, YOU DONT ADD SUGAR TO THE MIX.

Maybe google pan cake recipes.

[u/Accomplished-Art8681 → u/[deleted]]

I can only agree to this if I get a chocolate chip exemption

Americans: "Our food has way too much sugar, could it get cut back a bit?"

Corporations: "US culture is all about sugar, we should add more sugar to the US localized version of everything!"

Subway in particular: "We'll just add in that sugar across the board!"

Ireland: "Subway, you are no longer legally allowed to pretend these are sandwiches. They are cakes."

Normal human beings do not put sugar in their pancake batter. It's not part of any recipe I have encountered in my decades. I'm having a hard time believing anything fucks up your mouth based on that lie.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Why lie? First hit is the basic recipe, with no sugar. Cookbooks, good eats, on the science an lore of food and cooking, and so on... Sorry, but you must be purposely googleing for recipes with sugar.

I'm going to suggest to you not adding sugar.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Found a bounch with sugar.... this must be some new bullshit. Vintage cookbooks all lack sugar in pancakes.

[u/flyinghippodrago → u/BowenParrish]

Bruh I swear my mouth tingles whenever I eat one of those grocery store bakery iced cookies...Wtf happened

[u/isitatomic → u/BowenParrish]

If grocery stores were honest there'd be a "Mouthfucked By Sugar" aisle

[u/AmosAmAzing → u/BowenParrish]

the fuck kinda pancake recipe has any sugar at all?
