Finished My Sunday Brunch: Pancakes

Pancakes are a classic and beloved breakfast choice. They are fluffy, delicious, and perfect for any brunch table. Whether you enjoy them plain, with syrup, or topped with fruits, pancakes are always a hit. Today, we will dive into an easy recipe for making delightful pancakes that everyone will love.

Why Make This Recipe

Making pancakes is quick and simple. They are made from common ingredients found in most kitchens. Plus, pancakes are versatile, allowing you to customize them with your favorite toppings and flavors. Whether you want a sweet treat or a hearty breakfast, pancakes fit the bill.

How to Make Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. It’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Repeat until all the batter is used.

How to Serve Pancakes

Serve your pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup. Add fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas on top. You can also sprinkle them with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

How to Store Pancakes

If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between each. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper before freezing.

Tips to Make Pancakes

  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
  • Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes.
  • Adjust the heat if the pancakes cook too fast or too slow.
  • Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.

Variation

You can make banana pancakes by adding mashed banana to the batter. Another option is to add cocoa powder for chocolate pancakes. You can also try adding spices like cinnamon for a different twist.

FAQs

Q1: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A1: Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Expect a denser pancake.

Q2: How can I make pancakes vegan?
A2: You can replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use plant-based milk instead.

Q3: Can I make the batter ahead of time?
A3: It’s best to make pancake batter right before cooking. If prepared in advance, store it in the fridge and use it within a day. Stir it gently before cooking.

Enjoy your homemade pancakes and impress your family and friends at your next brunch!
