Receita simples de panquecas (fofinhas e feitas do zero)

Ingredientes

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This helps the leavening distribute evenly, so all the pancakes rise the same way. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. (Tip: Let the butter cool slightly before mixing to avoid warming the egg too much.)

2. 2

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the batter just comes together. A few lumps are fine, overmixing can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter or use nonstick spray on the surface. I like to test the heat with a tiny drop of batter first. When it sizzles gently, it’s ready.

4. 4

   Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Let them cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look slightly set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.

5. 5

   Serve warm with your favorite toppings. If you have leftovers, layer them with parchment and freeze in a zip-top bag. They reheat well in the toaster or microwave for busy mornings.
