Servings 14 pancakes
Ingredients
- 300 ml milk
- 3 eggs
- 30 g butter melted and cooled
- 30 g sugar
- approx. 250 g flour
- 8 g baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- vanilla (alternative)
- vegetable oil to grease the pan
Instructions
- Separate egg yolks from egg whites.
- Beat egg yolks with sugar until you get an airy light mass.
- Add milk, melted and cooled butter and alternatively vanilla and mix until homogeneous.
- Mix flour with baking powder, add it to the milk-yolk mixture and mix briefly to form a viscous batter. If the batter is too runny, add some more flour. It should not be able to melt quickly in a pan. If the batter is too chewy, add some more milk.
- Beat egg whites with salt until stiff and fold them into the batter so that you end up with a fluffy thick batter.
- Grease the pan lightly with vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat.
- Using a ladle or a tablespoon, pour some batter into the pan, spread it into a circle about 10 cm in diameter, and bake it over medium heat for about 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown on one side first. Turn it over as soon as small bubbles have formed on the surface and bake it from the other side as well for about 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat the procedure until the batter is used up.
Notes
- The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to taste.
- The amount of flour given may vary. The pancake batter should be viscous, but not too thick and not too runny. If the batter is too runny, add some more flour. Otherwise, it will melt easily in the pan and the pancakes will be too thin and not fluffy. If the batter is too chewy, add a little more milk. When doing this, add flour or milk to the batter before folding in beaten egg whites.
- Stir the batter just until all the ingredients are combined, and definitely not too long, or the American pancakes may taste rubbery.
