Petite portion de pancakes faciles

Ingrédients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 whole Large Egg
• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Préparation

1. 1

   Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 tsp Baking Powder, 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar, and 0.25 tsp Salt until fully incorporated. I always use fresh baking powder for optimal rise—you’ll see the difference in the fluffiness. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour mixture. A quick whisk ensures even distribution of the leavening agents, which is crucial for consistent texture across all pancakes.

2. 2

   Mix Wet Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, combine the 1 whole Large Egg, 1 cup Whole Milk, 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted and slightly cooled), and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the egg is fully incorporated. The butter should be warm but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely. Using room temperature egg helps create a more cohesive batter, ensuring even cooking on the griddle.

3. 3

   Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. The batter will be slightly lumpy—that’s perfect. Over-mixing develops gluten, which makes pancakes tough instead of tender. If the batter seems too thick, resist the urge to add more milk. The consistency should be pourable but not runny. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes while you heat the griddle.

4. 4

   Cook on a Preheated Griddle: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil to lightly coat the surface. Once hot, pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides. The first pancake is always a test—adjust the heat if it browns too quickly or too slowly.

5. 5

   Serve Immediately: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve immediately while hot. Stack them high and top with your favorite syrup or fresh fruit. The texture should be light, airy, and slightly crisp at the edges. If you need to keep them warm, place the plate in a 200°F oven for up to 10 minutes, but they’re best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. This recipe yields 6-8 pancakes, perfect for two servings.
