Ingredients:
You'll need:
- Bowl
- Blender or whisk
- Ladle
- Frying pan
Steps to follow:
The first thing you should do is to prepare the pancakes mix: sieve the flour with the yeast in a bowl or container. Then add the sugar and a pinch of salt and mix well. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, which is crucial for the texture of the pancakes.
Separately beat the eggs with a fork and mix them into the bowl with the other ingredients to form the pancake batter. Note that if you find it easier you can also use an electric beater or whisk to prepare the pancake batter. The use of an electric mixer can make the batter smoother and incorporate air, which might result in fluffier pancakes.
Next, add the milk and whisk the mix a little more so that all ingredients are blended. Finally, incorporate the softened butter into the pancake mix (or even melted in the microwave) and whisk. The butter adds richness to the pancakes and helps create a tender crumb.
Bring together all the ingredients, both dry and liquid, to form what will be the mass of the pancakes. Mix well to get a homogeneous and smooth mixture and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes. Allowing the batter to rest is important as it lets the gluten relax, resulting in softer pancakes.
After this time, take a frying pan and with the help of a paper napkin grease it with a little butter. This prevents the pancakes from sticking and gives them a nice golden color.
Using a ladle, add enough mix (according to the desired size and thickness) on the pan or griddle. When it starts to bubble, flip and leave to brown on the other side. It should be noted that the bubbles indicate that the pancake is cooking evenly and is ready to be turned over.
And now your pancakes will be ready for breakfast or lunch served with cream, chocolate, jam...!
