Homemade pancakes : Super easy and delicious recipe

Homemade pancakes

Guess who just had pancakes for breakfast? While I made the bread pudding I prepared the pancakes dough and they have been a hit at home.

I can not fail to share this new recipe for pancakes, very simple and above all, quick to prepare, in less than 20 minutes you have breakfast ready for the whole family. There is nothing like one of our dessert recipes for breakfast or a family snack.

The classic pancakes are very famous as breakfast in the USA. Pancakes, a mixture of milk, flour and yeast that is mixed and grilled. I usually prepare them for breakfast, although the pancakes are also ideal as a snack. If you have children at home you have a plan for a rainy Sunday day.

We love the most authentic and traditional pancakes like the ones I present today, but you will also see in our blog the classic American “pancakes”, the delicious oatmeal and banana pancakes and a vegan version of pancakes without eggs or milk.

But the ones I present to you today are the best. A way to celebrate “Pancake Day” the day of the pancakes that is February 25 or why not, any day you feel like giving you a tribute.

Serve the pancakes in a special breakfast for your partner and I assure you that you will triumph. Accompany them with fresh fruit or blueberry jam, raspberries, walnuts, apple, better if it is homemade. Or with a touch of honey or cocoa cream, a good freshly squeezed juice and a cup of coffee or tea. It will be the best breakfast to share with the whole family. A fantastic way to start the day, nothing can go wrong, a delicious day.

Ingredients

• 150 g all-purpose flour
• 2 medium eggs
• 25 g of white sugar (panela sugar is also suitable)
• 50 g butter
• 200 ml. of whole milk
• A few drops of vanilla essence
• 12 g baking powder (chemical yeast or baking powder)
• A pinch of fine salt (2 grams)
• To accompany: honey, maple syrup, butter, chocolate cream, Nutella…

How to make the American pancakes

In a bowl mix the dry ingredients, flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Set aside.

Combine in another bowl the beaten eggs, melted butter and vanilla essence. Incorporate the dry ingredients and, with a whisk, add them to the liquids.

Pour the milk and beat, it is very important not to beat the mixture too much. It is a question of integrating them but it is not necessary to try to eliminate all the lumps. If we beat it too much the pancakes will be too hard.

Preparation in the pancake pan or frying pan

We heat a frying pan (it must be the one we have so that things do not stick, the one for omelets or grilled things).

When it is hot, add a ladle of the pancake mixture, starting to pour it in the center and letting the batter itself redistribute in the pan. It is important that we regulate the temperature up or down during the whole process.

If the dough does not curdle when added to the pan, it will be too cold and if, on the contrary, the bottom part burns before bubbles appear on the top part, it will be too hot.

When we see that bubbles appear on the top of the pancake or pancake is the time to flip it with a spatula.

Cook the pancake on the other side for 30 to 40 seconds and remove.

Final presentation and tasting

We can add to the dough once we pour it in the pan some fresh fruits, blueberries, raspberries, they will be perfect as an accompaniment.

Serve the pancakes one on top of the other making a tower, bathed with honey, a delicious snack. Alternatively, we can substitute the honey for homemade cocoa cream or whatever you like best, delicious!

You can even add a touch of fruit… blueberries, banana, strawberries, cherries or raspberries, for example.

The fruit melts a little and with the heat of the griddle becomes a delicious kind of jam. A total temptation.

Do not miss any detail and they will be perfect.
