Look no further because a steaming stack of perfectly soft, Best Fluffy Pancakes are right here! Weekends will never be the same again!

Provided by Karina - Cafe Delites

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all purpose | plain flour, ((290 g | 10 oz))
1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, ((60g | 2 oz))
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk, ((440ml))
1/4 cup butter, ((60g | 2 oz))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  • Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
  • Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  • Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  • When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

LIGHT, FLUFFY AND RICH PANCAKES



Light, Fluffy and Rich Pancakes image

Basic pancakes are simple to throw together and are guaranteed to delight a crowd. But go one step further, separating the eggs and beating the whites, and you turn the ordinary pancake into something almost soufflé-like. These also contain ricotta, for extra richness that doesn't weigh the pancakes down.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     breakfast, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
Dash salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Butter or grapeseed or other neutral oil as needed

Steps:

  • Beat together the ricotta or cottage cheese, sour cream or yogurt and egg yolks. Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites; they should remain somewhat distinct in batter.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle or skillet and coat surface. When it is hot, add batter by the heaping tablespoon, making sure to include some egg white in each spoonful. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook second side. Serve immediately.

Giant Super Fluffy Pancakes image

If you're in need of impressive pancakes for a crowd, you can't go wrong with this tower of extra-fluffy, delicate pancakes. Pop them in the oven to cook and you won't spend your morning flipping flapjacks on the griddle.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the skillets
3 cups cake flour (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/4 cups milk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, separated, plus 4 whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Maple syrup, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving
Assorted fresh berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray one small (8-inch) and one medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray (or brush lightly with melted butter).
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla and egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a second large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's okay if there are a few lumps). Stir one-third of the egg white mixture into the flour-milk mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined (take care not to overmix).
  • Pour 3 cups of the batter into the small skillet and pour the remaining batter into the medium skillet. Cover each skillet with a lid (or cover and seal with aluminum foil). Bake, rotating the skillets top to bottom halfway through, until the pancakes are cooked through and the bottoms are golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Flip the larger pancake onto a serving platter and top with the smaller pancake. Pour a generous amount of syrup over the stack and top with whipped cream and berries. Serve with butter on the side.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps make the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will help the ingredients to combine and produce a more flavorful pancake.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for cooking pancakes evenly.
  • Don't flip the pancakes too soon: Wait until bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes before flipping them.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle.

Conclusion:

Making light, fluffy, and rich pancakes is easy with the right ingredients and technique. By following the tips above, you can make perfect pancakes every time. Whether you like your pancakes with butter and syrup, fruit, or whipped cream, these pancakes are sure to please everyone at your table.
