Essential Pancake Ingredients- 200g pancake mix
- 1 fresh egg
- 100ml milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your ingredients: 200g of pancake mix, 1 fresh egg, and 100ml of cold milk. Crack the egg into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk them together gently until well combined. Then, add the pancake mix and stir just until the dry ingredients disappear – be careful not to overmix, as this can make your pancakes tough. Your perfect pancake batter is now ready.
Step 2
Prepare a non-stick frying pan and place it over medium-low heat. Once the pan is slightly warm, dip a paper towel into cooking oil and lightly grease the entire surface. This prevents the pancakes from sticking and ensures even cooking. It’s crucial to wipe away any excess oil with the paper towel so that no oily droplets remain.
Step 3
Check if the pan is at the right temperature. Then, using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the prepared pancake batter into the center of the pan to create your desired pancake size. Heat control is key here: always maintain medium-low heat. If the heat is too high, the outside will burn before the inside is cooked. Cook slowly over a gentle flame. To achieve a perfect circle, you can slightly tilt the pan after pouring the batter.
Step 4
After pouring the batter, wait for about 1 to 2 minutes. You’ll start to see small bubbles appearing and popping all over the surface of the pancake. These bubbles are a sign that your pancake is cooking nicely and is ready to be flipped.
Step 5
Once you see bubbles evenly distributed across the surface and the edges look slightly golden and set, quickly slide a spatula underneath the pancake and flip it over. Be careful not to let the batter spread. Cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until it’s also a beautiful golden brown. Your pancake is perfectly cooked!
Step 6
Arrange the beautifully cooked pancakes on a plate. While they are warm, drizzle generously with maple syrup or sift powdered sugar over them for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal. You can also serve them with butter, whipped cream, or fresh fruit to enhance the flavor experience.
Step 7
By following these simple tips, anyone can bake round, beautiful, and delicious pancakes without fail. Enjoy making and eating your perfect homemade pancakes today! : )
