Questions about Plain pancake
How do you stop plain pancake batter from turning lumpy?
Whisk the flour with a little of the milk first to make a smooth paste, then gradually whisk in the rest and the eggs. Leave the batter to stand for about 20 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid.
How long should you cook a plain pancake on each side?
Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat. Pour in a thin layer of batter; cook until the edges look dry and bubbles appear, about 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for about 30–60 seconds.
How should you store leftover plain pancakes?
Cool them, stack with baking paper between each pancake, and keep them covered in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a dry frying pan, or freeze the separated stack and warm pancakes straight from frozen.
What goes well with a plain pancake?
For a sweet topping, try lemon juice and sugar, sliced banana with yoghurt, or stewed apples and cinnamon. For a savoury filling, add grated cheese and wilted spinach, then fold the pancake while it is hot.
Can you use plain pancakes for savoury dishes?
Yes. Fill them with cooked mushrooms, cheese or leftover roast vegetables, roll or fold them, and bake in a dish with tomato sauce until hot. They also work as a soft wrap for cooked chicken or beans.
What can you use instead of a plain pancake as a wrap?
Use a soft flour tortilla for a sturdier wrap, or a crêpe for a thinner, more delicate one. Warm either briefly before filling so it bends without cracking.
How is a plain pancake different from a crêpe?
A crêpe is usually thinner and more flexible, while a plain pancake is often thicker and softer. Crêpes are well suited to delicate fillings; plain pancakes are easier to fold around heartier fillings.
