how to make easy pancake recipe-
Making these fluffy pancakes is really easy and hassle-free. Sharing all the tips and secrets to the best pancake recipe!
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Mix until flour is incorporated.
- Don’t overbeat the pancake batter. The batter should be smooth but will still have some lumps. Overbeating the batter will overdevelop gluten resulting in a flat and tough pancake.
- Allow pancake batter to rest a few minutes after mixing the batter, allowing the gluten that was activated time to rest.
- Be sure the skillet isn’t too hot. Heat the skillet then turn down to medium heat. Medium heat will allow the pancake to cook through and not burn the pancake.
- A combination of butter and oil for greasing the pan results in best pancakes.
- Don’t flip pancakes frequently. Once tops of pancakes start to bubble and burst, the pancake is ready to be flipped.
- Clean the skillet after EACH batch! This will save you from burnt pancakes.
- NOTE: A GRIDDLE works great for making pancakes.
- NOTE: If you are making pancakes for an event and want uniform pancakes, this pancake mold is perfect for this purpose.
how to serve pancakes?
The classic way to serve pancakes is with butter and syrup (Maple or classic). Fresh berries of choice, whipped cream, Nutella with bananas, pecans and maple syrup or even chocolate syrup are all great options as toppings for pancakes.
stuffed pancakes-
The pancakes can also be stuffed with so many different variations! Here are some of our favorite options:
- Nutella
- chocolate chip morsels
- mixed berries cubed (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or blackberries)
- blueberries with lemon
how to freeze pancakes?
- Pancakes are wonderful to freeze for busy mornings or lazy dinners. Once pancakes cool, transfer them to a freezer bag and freeze. REHEATING FROZEN PANCAKES: To reheat pancakes, thaw completely, reheat in a skillet on low heat.
