Perfect pancakes, baked to golden brown, with a soft core and served with your favorite jam or chocolate are the dream breakfast and dessert for many.
But how to make them?
1. The dough for pancakes
• Prepare all ingredients at room temperature;
• Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl;
• Mix the liquid ingredients in another bowl;
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ones. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula to combine the mixtures, but do not over-stir. Why? The gluten in the flour begins to develop as soon as the liquid touches the flour and the more they mix, the more the dough spills and this will make it difficult to bake the pancakes.
2. Bake the pancakes
• Use a heavy non-stick pan - preferably cast iron, because the baking temperature will be even;
• Heat the pan to medium temperature;
• Grease the pan with butter or oil before baking;
• Use a ladle, measuring cup or bottle for the dough to be poured into the pan;
• Make a small test before the main baking to make sure that the temperature is sufficient - if your pancakes burn on the outside and are raw on the inside, reduce the temperature of the hob;
• When you have made sure that the baking temperature is normal, pour a quantity of dough into the pan, spread it all over the bottom, leaving a little space at the edges so that you can turn the pancake over more easily;
• Bake until golden brown before turning. Keep in mind that the second side will bake faster.
3. Storage of pancakes
Pancakes are most delicious when eaten fresh from the pan. So you can enjoy their crunchy and fluffy texture, their aroma.
But if you still decide to prepare them in advance to keep them fresh, spread the pancakes with melted butter and wrap with cling film.
3. Tips for different pancakes

• If you want the texture of the pancakes to be light and airy, beat the egg whites and yolks separately and then mix them;
• You can replace the liquid with carbonated water, ginger beer or cider, which you can add just before mixing the ingredients;
• If you add baking powder to the dough, it is good to leave it in the fridge for a while / maybe overnight /, this allows the gluten to relax and the pancakes to become tender, and the baking powder will form bubbles.
4. Have fun while baking pancakes
Use a bottle or a press to convey different fun shapes to the pancakes - humans, animals and more.
Serve the pancakes with your favorite jam, fruit, chocolate or just eat them natural.
