I made American pancakes for breakfast – they turned out absolutely delicious!
- Large egg – 1
- Vanilla sugar – 10 g
- Sugar – 2 tsp
- Butter – 10 g
- Milk – 130 g
- Flour – 130 g
- Baking powder – 1 heaped tsp
- Salt – a sprinkle
Method is explained and illustrated below. Enjoy!
Place an egg into a bowl…
…add a sprinkle of salt and vanilla sugar…
…and plain sugar…
…and whisk together until well combined. You don’t need all the sugar to dissolve at this stage.
Heat the milk at small heat and dissolve butter in it. You don’t want to heat it too much, don’t let it boil – just wait until the butter is dissolved, then take it off the heat and let cool until just warm.
Pour approximately half of the milk into the egg and sugar mix.
Add baking powder into the flour and mix together.
Sift the flour into the bowl.
Mix together.
Add some of the remaining milk into the batter (you might not need all of it).
Your batter should turn out like this, – still runny, but not too fluid.
A “signature” method of frying American pancakes, is frying them on a completely dry pan. Make sure your pan is non-stick. Pre-heat it and place some of the batter on it, forming a pancake of the size you want. Cover it with a lid.
Once the edges of the pancake got firmer…
…time to flip it over.
They are incredibly delicious! You can make yours smaller. I like mine bigger and fluffy!
