Method Of Preparation
- Into a big bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and caster sugar. Whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter together in a separate basin or jug before adding the other ingredients.
- With a fork, stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will quickly dissolve with some mixing. Allow the batter to stand for a while.
- Add a knob of butter to a non-stick frying pan that is already hot over medium heat. Add a ladle of batter after it has melted (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). Although it will appear very thick, this is the proper thickness. When the pancake's top starts to bubble, flip it over and continue cooking it until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1 cm/1/2 in thickness.
- Continue until all the batter has been consumed. The pancakes taste best when they are still warm off the pan, though you may reheat them in a moderate oven.
- If desired, serve with additional butter and copious amounts of real maple syrup.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COOK PANCAKES?
- The batter should NOT be overmixed. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients only until they are barely mixed. Pancakes will be fluffier as a result. Overmixing can cause the flour's gluten to create elastic gluten strands, giving the finished product a more dense, chewy feel.
- Before using, bring the eggs to room temperature.
- Prior to cooking the pancakes, allow the batter to rest for a short while.
- Use a nonstick skillet (or better, an electric griddle if possible).
- Make sure the heat is distributed evenly while frying the pancakes on low to medium heat. Pancakes that are cooked slowly are fluffier.
- Between each pancake, lightly coat the pan with nonstick spray or vegetable oil.
Recipe Advice
Use baking powder and self-raising flour in place of regular flour to make extra-fluffy pancakes. Serve the Fluffy pancakes with nice vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries.
Serve with maple syrup and bacon, and use half buckwheat flour and half regular flour. The buckwheat batter can also be mixed with a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and served with thick double cream and caramelized apple slices.
