Pancakes have become a favorite among many people as a morning snack. But how to make delicious and flavorful pancakes that will definitely please you with their taste?
There are a few cooking tricks that are definitely worth following to achieve excellent results.
What ingredients to use
Every detail matters when it comes to making pancakes. Fresh eggs, quality milk and flour, preferably premium, will be the basis.
But don't forget about the baking powder, because adding it will ensure the airiness and lightness of the pancakes. It is important to follow the proportions specified in the recipe so that the dough has the right consistency.
What should the consistency of the dough be?
If it is too thin, the pancakes will spread out in the pan and will not rise. If the dough is too thick, they will be heavy and dense.
Experienced cooks advise adding milk or kefir in small portions, stirring thoroughly to achieve the perfect balance.
The dough must "rest" before frying.
Few people know that pancake batter needs to rest. It should be left for 10-15 minutes after kneading. This simple step allows the baking powder to activate and the flour to swell, which ultimately makes the pancakes fluffier and airier.
What temperature should the frying pan be?
If the pan is too hot, they may burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
A frying pan that is too cold will cause the pancakes to absorb too much oil and become greasy. It is important to maintain the perfect balance. Also, do not forget to stir them regularly during cooking.
How much oil to use for frying
To make perfect pancakes, it is important to use a moderate amount of oil.
Too much oil will make them greasy, and too little will make them dry and stick to the pan. The best option is to lightly grease the pan with oil using a brush or paper towel. It is important to use vegetable oil without a strong smell, so as not to interrupt the taste of the pancakes.
