American pancakes

American pancakes are a popular breakfast dish. They are a staple on many menus and are a favourite dish regardless of generation. They are easy to make and it is easy to adapt the flavours to suit our taste buds or health and other restrictions. American pancakes are also suitable for dinner or a late lunch, and if you follow a few of our tips, they will become the perfect treat.

1. What do you need to make American pancakes?

American pancakes are made with a simple batter made from flour, eggs, milk, baking powder and sugar. Some recipes call for the addition of butter or oil, vanilla paste or other flavourings. If you want to make American puff pancakes, it is very important to use leavening agents. Baking powder is most commonly used to help the pancakes rise during baking and to serve with a fluffy interior.

The preparation is as absolutely simple as the list of ingredients needed for the preparation. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add the milk and the rest of the liquid ingredients. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free mixture.

2. What about tips or tricks to help make American pancakes?

Here you have a big stack of perfectly cooked American pancakes. Their texture impresses you, as does their fluffy texture, so the next question is completely expected: "How do we make perfect American pancakes?". If you find yourself in at least one part of it, you''ve come to the right place. Making the perfect stack of American pancakes takes some practice, but a few of the tips below can help.

• Ingredients should be at room temperature.

A tip that applies to almost any dessert. Although so obvious, it is one of the most important rules. Warming the ingredients to room temperature will make it easier to mix the dough, as they will come together more easily and create a smooth mixture.

• Do not over-mix the dough.

Over-mixing creates hard and chewy pancakes and erases the fluffy texture of the pancakes. Stir just enough to bring the ingredients together into a uniform mixture, then leave to rest. During this time, the baking powder is activated, creating the perfect mixture for making American pancakes.

• Use a ladle or measuring cup for measuring.

Using a ladle or measuring cup to help with the measuring will ensure that the pancakes are the same size and cook evenly.

• Flip the pancakes when...

...bubbles appear on the surface. This means that the pancakes are ready to be flipped and at the same time to prevent them from over-browning.

3. American pancakes with yoghurt?

Sure, why not. American pancakes can be made in many different ways. You can add some frozen blueberries to the batter for American pancakes and serve a fruity, refreshing version. Blueberries can be replaced by bananas for a creamy and sweet twist.

Add a little chocolate drizzle or add a rich cinnamon flavour. For people who are not allowed to eat eggs due to health restrictions, you can make American oatmeal pancakes. These pancakes are made with mashed ripe bananas, oatmeal and familiar pancake ingredients such as flour, eggs, milk and baking powder, so they have a unique flavour and extra texture. The oatmeal gives the pancakes a nutty flavour and extra texture, while the banana gives them a natural sweetness.

American pancakes with yoghurt are made by using yoghurt instead of butter. We recommend Greek yoghurt as its thick and creamy texture makes it an excellent choice. Its tangy flavour will perfectly complement the sweetness of the pancakes. You can also add some flavourings such as honey, maple syrup or fruit. Another great thing about American pancakes with yoghurt is that they are a healthier choice than traditional pancakes. Greek yoghurt is a good source of protein and calcium, making it a great choice for a healthy breakfast.
