How to make pancakes?
1. Basic pancake recipe
Ingredients needed
- 225 gr. of common flour
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 200 ml. milk
- 1 large egg
- 40 gr. of sugar
- Butter (to brown the pancakes in the pan) + 30 gr. of butter
Steps to make the pancakes
First melt the butter in a saucepan, then let it cool. While the butter is on the heat, lightly beat the egg in a small bowl. In another bowl sift the flour together with the yeast. To this bowl add the sugar and mix well with the flour until everything is very well distributed. In a jug beat the milk and the egg and mix well.
Using a spoon, make a hole in the center of the ingredients where the flour, yeast and sugar are. Pour a little of the egg mixture in the center of the hole and beat. Do the same again with the rest of the liquid mixture, to finally return to beat again until all the ingredients combine well. To finish, add the melted butter and beat well until the mixture is homogeneous.
Now put a pan of pancakes to heat over medium heat and when it is slightly hot melt in it a little butter. It is time to pour a spoonful of the liquid mass, giving it a rounded shape (just drop the liquid in the center of the dough so that it is scattered alone as it falls). Continue adding tablespoons of dough, always leaving space between them since they will tend to grow a little. Just when they start appearing bubbles that burst and leave holes in the top is the time to turn them over, carefully with the help of a spatula.
Continue cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes until golden brown on the other side. Remove the pancakes and repeat the process until you finish with the dough.
