Pancakes may seem like the easiest things to make but from experience, I can tell you that.. it's not! Sometimes, my pancake batter is too thick, or too egg-y, or too thin.. and then the pancakes are not perfect.

Considering that I dive into the pancakes tray whenever I have breakfast buffet in a hotel, AND considering I have this here food blog and stuff, it would be ridiculous if I didn't have a decent (and easy) pancake recipe to share.

I knew "this is it" when I saw this recipe on the site Cheesecake for all. And I was right. Sometimes you know these things you know.

Basic Pancakes Recipe
Makes 12-14 mini pancakes


Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons oil + extra for greasing the tawa/griddle

How to make Basic Pancakes:

1. Beat together - egg, milk and oil.

2. In a separate bowl, combine-  flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in the egg mixture.

3. Beat lightly until smooth and lump-free.

4. Pour about 2 tablespoon of batter on a hot and lightly oiled griddle and let it spread naturally. After a minute, flip to the other side. Both sides should be golden brown so adjust heat accordingly as you cook them.

    Try Swedish thin pankakes instead!

    2 eggs
    2 dl white flower
    4 dl milk (4% fat)
    1 tsp sugar
    1 tsp salt

    Put butter in the pan with almost maximum heat.
    Put in the batter in the pan so it cover half the pan, Lift the pan and "roll the batter around" so it cover the hole pan. It should be THIN!
    When the batter is dry, or almost dry, turn the panncake.

    Serv with jam and wipped cream!

    Good luck!
    🙂

    Sorry but those pancakes look like they just came from McDonald's. Doesn't anyone love the airy, crispy pancakes with toasted circles all over them? These look like a donuts is to pastries.

    I cut these with a round cookie cutter 🙂 But with this batter consistency, just pour gently bang in the middle of the griddle and they will spread out on their own into nice circles. try that.
