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.

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.

HOW TO MAKE THE FLUFFIEST PANCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Fluffiest Pancakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, sugar, kosher salt, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, unsalted butter, eggs, unsalted butter, blueberry, chocolate chip, maple syrup

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ cups buttermilk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted
2 eggs, whites and yolks seperated
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
blueberry, optional
chocolate chip, optional
maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and whisk to combine.
  • In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, add the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg yolks and whisk to combine.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Add the egg whites and fold until just combined. Be sure not to overmix. Some lumps are okay.
  • Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Add the butter to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium low heat. Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add ⅓ cup (75 g) of batter to the pan.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface. If adding any toppings like chocolate chips or blueberries, sprinkle over the pancake. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk reacts with baking soda to create a light and fluffy batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, which will also help to make the pancakes light and fluffy. You can rest the batter for up to 30 minutes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will make them brown too quickly and not cook through properly. Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

These pancakes are the lightest and fluffiest pancakes you will ever taste. They are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. Follow the tips above to ensure that your pancakes turn out perfect every time.
