4 bisc base recipes

Classic pancakes from a small-batch base of flour, milk, egg and a touch of sugar. Tender, golden discs that hit the griddle in 20 minutes flat. The kind of weekend stack that needs only butter and maple syrup.

Fry bread made from flour, baking powder, milk, and water shaped into thin discs and fried golden in hot oil. The puffy, pillowy base for Indian tacos, sweet honey drizzles, or savory toppings.

Giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookies pressed into two large discs on baking sheets, then cut into wedges like pizza. Chewy, loaded with oats, chocolate, and nuts.

Homemade English muffins from scratch: yeasted dough rolled and cut into discs, dusted with cornmeal, and griddle-baked low and slow until they develop those signature nooks and crannies.
