The first step to making these fluffy pancakes
-
We will start by separating the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks in a bowl with the previously melted butter, the milk, and the teaspoon of coffee flavoring, if you prefer you can use other essences such as vanilla. Now we will mix well.
-
Then add a pinch of salt and the previously sifted flour, mixing it with the kitchen rods.
-
Next, beat the egg whites until stiff, for this put the mixer at full power and, when it starts to thicken, add a teaspoon of lemon and, little by little, the sugar until the egg whites are mounted. If you prefer, you can make it by hand with the rods.
-
Then add the egg whites to the bowl with the egg yolks and, with enveloping movements, mix everything very well using the icing tongue.
-
Finally, as soon as it is ready, preheat a large saucepan with a few drops of oil using a brush on the base of the saucepan, using a small ladle or pastry bag to introduce the mixture.
Tips for Making Fluffy Pancakes
Achieving the perfect stack of fluffy pancakes requires attention to detail and a few tricks of the trade.
Ingredient Ratios
The ratio of flour to liquid in the pancake batter is crucial. Too much flour can result in dense pancakes, while too much liquid can make them thin and flat. Aim for a balanced ratio to achieve optimal fluffiness.
Mixing Methods
When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing, as this can overdevelop the gluten in the flour, leading to tough pancakes. Instead, mix the ingredients until just combined, leaving some lumps in the batter.
Cooking Temperature
Cook pancakes on a preheated griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. This allows them to cook through evenly without burning on the outside. Use a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Conclusion
Fluffy pancakes are more than just a delicious breakfast treat—they’re a culinary canvas for creativity and exploration. By mastering the art of making fluffy pancakes, you can elevate your breakfast game and delight your taste buds with each fluffy bite.
