2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer

SECRET INGREDIENT PANCAKES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Secret Ingredient Pancakes Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by theinletgirl

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of ginger ale
3 Tablespoons of melted butter
optional ingredients: blueberries, nuts, chocolate chips or bacon crumbles

Steps:

*If you don't want to bother with making these pancakes from scratch, use buttermilk pancake mix and substitute the liquid requirement with any carbonated beverage such as sprite, 7-up or ginger ale. Follow the package directions. Mix wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients. Blend just until mixed. Pour on the griddle. If you would like to add an optional ingredient you should drop them onto the batter at this point. When batter begins to bubble toward the center of the pancake, use a large spatula and flip.

Tips:

Use buttermilk instead of regular milk: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to the pancakes, making them extra fluffy and flavorful. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few lumps.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking: This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also result in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
Use a hot griddle or frying pan: A hot griddle or frying pan will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will burn them before they have a chance to cook through. Medium heat is best for evenly cooked pancakes.
Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles start to form on the surface.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings: Pancakes are best served hot and fresh. Serve them with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make delicious and fluffy pancakes that your whole family will love. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination. Enjoy!
