Here’s a simple and quick recipe for fluffy pancakes that everyone will love. Whether it’s for a cozy family breakfast or brunch with friends, these pancakes are sure to satisfy all your cravings. Made with basic ingredients, they’re the perfect way to start your morning with a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 200 g (1 ½ cups) of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder (about 2 ½ teaspoons)
- A pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) of milk
- 50 g (3 tablespoons) of melted butter or 3 tablespoons of neutral oil
Instructions:
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter (or oil). Mix well.
- Combine the ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until you get a smooth batter. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; don’t overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Rest the batter (optional): Let the batter sit for 10–15 minutes to ensure the pancakes are even fluffier.
- Cooking: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour a small ladle of batter into the skillet to form a pancake. When bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, flip it and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.
- Serving: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, jam, or melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Add a hint of vanilla extract or cinnamon to enhance the flavor.
- For even fluffier pancakes, separate the egg whites from the yolks, beat the whites until stiff, and fold them gently into the batter before cooking.
Enjoy your pancakes.
