Extra fluffy pancakes recipe

Yeah! Not only can we make our pancakes soft and fluffy. There is a way to make them EXTRA FLUFFY :)! As you might think the process of making extra fluffy pancakes is similar to making fluffy pancakes so use this fluffy pancakes recipe as a base. Another good recipe to start with is also this American pancakes recipe. Maybe the second one is even better.

Now - I am not going to repeat the recipe, I am just going to tell you what to do differently. The batter making and mixing and then baking method is the same. All you need to do to make your pancakes extra fluffy is to use self-raising flour instead of plain flour (and leave the baking powder in). This doubles the raising elements in the recipe and will make your pancakes extra fluffy.

Besides that you can also use the tricks from the fluffy pancakes recipe:
- sift the flur
- Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them
- Substitute some milk (1/4 cup) with bubbly mineral water

Just check the original recipe for more instructions then try them and let me know how it went.

Fluffy Pancake Recipe

With this fluffy pancake recipe we will try to make pancakes that are lighter, softer, and fluffier. The basic recipe is pretty much the same as every other pancake recipe. The only difference is we add a little bit more baking powder and a little bit less milk. This makes the batter denser and it raises more when we cook it. The result is a nice and fluffy pancake. But that's not all. In the end I have collected and added a few extra tips to make your flapjacks even softer. This recipe will serve 2 people, maybe three, but you can easily double it. But first - what do we need to get started?


Fluffy Pancake Recipe Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shortening melted

First take a bowl big enough to hold all the ingredients and throw in the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt - all the dry stuff. Then add all the wet ingredients - egg, milk and shortening and stir them into the dry ingredients until you get a moist and even pancake batter.

The batter will probably be pretty thick and this is the way we want it. It might be a little difficult to pour on your griddle or pan, but the pancakes will be fluffier.

We need about 1/4 cup of batter for one pancake. Pour the batter onto a greased hot griddle and make a four inch pancake. You can also use a nonstick pan or a normal pan with a little oil or butter to prevent pancakes from sticking to it.

Cook the pancakes on medium heat. Since the batter is thicker don't use to much heat because your pancakes will turn brown on the outside and will still not be done in the middle. Low to medium heat gives best results. Turn the pancake around when bubbles form on top of it and then cook until the second side is golden brown.

And we are done.

Now for the extra fluffy tricks and tips:

1. Sift the flour - this one is pretty basic and lots of people recommend it. Just sift the flour before you start making your pancake batter.

2. Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them - this is an old trick that you can use in any recipe to get softer results. Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them until they turn to white creamy snow. Then follow the fluffy pancake recipe except don't add the egg whites to the batter. Only when the batter is mixed and ready slowly and gently stir in the egg whites and then make pancakes.

3. Substitute some milk (1/4 cup) with bubbly mineral water (one that has CO2 gas in it). Use plain water without any additives, don't use flavored ones (well actually you could, but then you would get flavored pancakes :) ). The CO2 bubbles in the water will be released into the batter making it lighter and making even more fluffy pancakes :). If you are bold - some people even use beer for this! Think about beer foam - lots and lots of tiny bubbles.

So this is it for the fluffy pancake recipe , let me know how it goes or if you have any more pancake tips and tricks.

Easy and simple pancake recipe

Let us start with something simple (not that any pancake recipe is difficult) - a simple pancakes recipe. This is I think the fastest way to make pancakes and since they are easy to make however you make them I think we still won't be sacrificing anything in the taste department:). We will just cut a few corners and leave out a few steps so we will have less dirty dishes and we will be finished and eating faster. These pancakes are usually served with butter and syrup, but you can of course use lots and lots of different toppings from fruits, cream, chocolate etc. I think I'll cover all the different toppings that you can put on your pancakes in another recipe. Let's get started with what do we need for this recipe.

Ingredients for this easy and simple pancake recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter

Lets make some pancakes!

First we will take a bowl large enough to hold all of our pancake batter and fill it with 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Quickly mix the milk and eggs together.

Then add all the salt, sugar, baking powder and some flour and start stiring. Stir and keep adding the flour until you add all of it. Stop stiring as soon as the batter is smooth and without lumps. It should be pretty thick but still liquid enough so you can pour it. If it is to thick add some more milk and mix a little more.

Great, now our batter is ready.

Usually these kind of pancakes are made on a hot greased griddle but we can also use a pan and they will turn out great aswell. Take about 1/4 cup of batter and pour it on the griddle. Pancakes should be cooked until they are bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom. Then we turn them around and brown them on the other side.

This easy and simple pancake recipe will serve four.
