Homemade Pancakes - Which Type Do You Choose?
Before you start seeking the best homemade pancakes recipe, first you have to decide which type of delicious pancakes do you want to make. In America, the most popular are fluffy pancakes, often topped with melted butter and maple syrup, with the addition of chocolate chips. However, in Europe, you may come across a more classic pancake recipe for the so-called 'crepes', which are flat pancakes. In contrast to the American fluffy pancake, European crepes are bigger and flatter, usually filled with jam and topped with whipped cream. Whichever type you prefer, pancakes are always easy to make by yourself, so it is worth looking for a good homemade pancake recipe.

Ingredients:

-
3 teaspoons of fresh baking powder ( you can mix baking powder with baking soda in even proportions)
-
1/4 teaspoon of salt or more to taste
-
1 tablespoon of sugar (you can use brown sugar)
-
1 1/4 cups of whole milk (you can substitute regular cow milk with almond milk, unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk or any other plant-based milk you like). For an even better effect, use warm milk.
-
1 egg (instead of egg, you can use soaked flax, it's a "flax egg" for vegans and people who avoid dairy)
-
3 tablespoons of melted butter ( or substitute it with coconut oil). Use unsalted butter. Melt butter before adding it to the mix.
Directions for making pancakes:
-
In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients - flour, baking powder/ baking soda, salt and sugar creating a flour mixture. Make a well in the middle - this is where you will add wet ingredients.
-
Mix wet ingredients together and create a milk mixture with eggs, and melted butter. Add your wet ingredients, your milk mixture to your dry ingredients and mix until smooth. You may also consider adding almond extract, vanilla extract or chocolate chips.
-
Heat a lightly oiled griddle (you can also use melted butter for that, just make sure it is clarified unsalted butter) or frying pan over medium heat. You do not need a baking sheet. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook pancakes on the pan until they are golden brown on both sides.
How to Serve Your Homemade Pancakes?
Serving:
-
Serve hot.
-
Melt butter and pour melted butter on top or use excess butter from the pancake batter.

You may add chocolate chips, maple syrup, even fresh strawberries on the side. Some people love to add sour cream, for contrast and top it with brown sugar.
