Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (for diner-style pancakes) or 1/4 cup instant malted milk powder (for diner-style pancakes)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minute at high speed of a mixer (I do this step in blender and mix the rest in bowl with a large whisk).
  • Stir in butter or oil.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together and gently, but quickly, mix into the egg and milk mixture.
  • Let the batter relax while griddle is heating (or overnight in refrigerator) The batter will thicken upon resting.
  • Grease and preheat griddle.
  • The griddle is ready if a drop of water will skitter across the surface, evaporating immediately.
  • Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter on the lightly greased griddle.
  • Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form and break (this is the time to add anything like berries, chocolate chips, etc), then turn the pancakes and cook the other side until brown (turning only once).

PERFECT PANCAKES RECIPE

An easy pancake batter recipe with tips on how to make the best pancakes every time with sweet or savoury toppings

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper, Buffet, Snack, Brunch, Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

100g plain flour
2 eggs
300ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable, plus extra for frying
pinch salt

Steps:

  • Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.
  • Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.
  • Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.
  • Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
  • Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.
  • Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.
  • Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.
  • Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Pour the batter onto the hot skillet or griddle in 1/4-cup portions.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Making perfect pancakes is easy with the right tools and ingredients. By following the tips above, you can create delicious, fluffy pancakes that will impress your family and friends. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pancakes every time!
