Provided by The Worktop

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Pancakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon sugar ((optional))
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon light oil ((you can also use butter for a richer pancake))
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (- for cooking the pancakes, use more or less as needed)
powdered sugar (- for serving)
lemon wedges (- for serving)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift in the flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Make a well in it and crack in two eggs. Add in about 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk the eggs together, slowly incorporating in the flour.
  • As the batter starts to thicken, slowly continue to whisk in the rest of the milk. The batter should go from lumpy to smooth. Whisk in the oil. You can also use an electric mixer on low speed to bring everything together.
  • Preheat a 10 or 12-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan on medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is nice and hot before you start making the pancakes.
  • Melt a bit of butter on the pan and swirl it around so it evenly coats the pan. Alternatively, melt the butter in a small bowl and brush it on using a silicone basting brush (see post for why I prefer to use a brush).
  • Pour on the pancake batter and quickly swirl the pan around so the pancake batter spreads into a thin layer. I use a crepe spreader to get the perfect round and thin pancake (see post for why this is a handy tool).
  • Cook for about 30 - 45 seconds, until the top of the pancake is no longer liquid. Gently shake pan to loosen the pancake. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook for an addition 30 - 45 seconds.
  • Slide the pancake onto a plate, and serve warm. Top with a squeeze of lemon and a generous shake of powder sugar.

PERFECT PANCAKES RECIPE



Perfect pancakes recipe image

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality all-purpose flour, fresh milk and eggs, and melted butter. Avoid using salted butter as it can make the pancakes too salty.
  • Let the batter rest: Once you've mixed the batter, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and will result in a smoother, more tender pancake.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the pancakes from sticking. If you're using a new pan, be sure to season it before using it for the first time.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the pancakes when bubbles form around the edges: Don't flip the pancakes too early, or they'll be raw in the middle. Wait until bubbles form around the edges and then flip them.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can keep them warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

Thin pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be topped with a variety of different ingredients. With the tips provided in this article, you'll be able to make perfect thin pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this thin pancake recipe a try.
