Pancake Batter Ingredients
- 350g pancake mix
- 1 fresh carrot (medium-sized)
- 1 pack of milk (200ml)
- 2 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you start cooking, prepare all your ingredients, a grater, a whisk, and a bowl for mixing the batter. Measuring out all the ingredients beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Wash one medium-sized carrot thoroughly, peel it, and then grate it finely using the grater. The subtle sweetness and moisture from the carrot will enhance the flavor of your pancakes.
Step 3
Place the grated carrot into the bowl and crack two fresh eggs into it. The eggs will mix well with the carrot and add to the batter’s tenderness.
Step 4
Add the 350g of pancake mix to the bowl in three additions, whisking gently after each addition until just combined. Adding it in stages prevents lumps and helps create a smooth batter.
Step 5
As you mix the batter, you might notice it becomes thicker than expected due to the moisture released from the carrots. This is a natural occurrence, so don’t be alarmed.
Step 6
If the batter is too thick to form into pancake shapes, gradually add about 4 tablespoons (approx. 60ml) of milk at a time, whisking gently until you reach a pourable consistency, similar to pancake batter.
Step 7
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter. Pour about one ladleful of batter onto the heated pan to create round pancakes. Aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 8
When bubbles start to appear on the surface of the pancake, it’s a sign that it’s cooking well. Once there are enough bubbles, carefully flip the pancake with a spatula.
Step 9
Cook the other side until golden brown, usually for another 1-2 minutes. This ensures the pancake is cooked through and wonderfully moist. Your delicious carrot pancakes are now ready!
Step 10
Serve your freshly made, warm carrot pancakes on a plate. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruits. They pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk for a perfect brunch!^^
