Pancakes are a favorite food for both young and old. Who does not like the smell of fresh pancakes in the morning. This is definitely everyone's favorite breakfast. What could be better than starting the day off with thin and at the same time fluffy pancakes. In order for them to become fluffy there are some golden rules, which every cook should know.
The first and most important rule is that all products must be at room temperature. It is also very important to use milk for pancakes, not water. If you make pancakes with water, they will not be as juicy and sweet, as they would be with milk.
The second rule for making fluffy pancakes is to use a maximum of 2 eggs. If you use more eggs, your pancakes will become rubbery. Just beat 2 eggs at room temperature, then add the milk, sugar and salt.
It is very important to sift the flour before adding it, so that there are no lumps. If you have not sifted the flour, your pancakes will not become so fluffy. Sifted flour has been shown to contain more oxygen. Another important factor is to put vegetable oil instead of baking soda or baking powder.
Vegetable oil does the same thing as baking powder and on the other hand, if you used vegetable oil instead of baking powder, you can fry the pancakes in a non greased pan and you will not need to add extra fat.
It is important to leave the mixture for about 15-20 minutes to rest and absorb the fat before you start frying the pancakes. It is best to use a pancake pan with a non-stick coating. This rule is not as important, but this way the pancakes will be ready faster, since these pans have a thinner bottom.
While making the pancakes, cover the already finished fluffy pancakes with a lid or towel to make them even softer. By following these tricks and rules, your pancakes will turn out superb. Then you can garnish chocolate pancakes with jam or honey and enjoy the perfect taste.
