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.

Pancakes or Crêpes - What is the difference?

The word pancakes does not mean the same thing to everyone. Mostly in some parts of Europe, pancakes are what people in the U.S., France etc... would call crêpes. The in U.S. pancakes are sometimes also called hotcakes, griddlecakes, or flapjacks. Then there are many different recipes for pancakes the differ from country to country. So if this site is dedicated to pancake recipes I'll include both pancake and crêpe recipes. But not to confuse the things to much in the beginning - actually pancakes and crêpes are pretty much almost the same thing. They are made out of the same main ingredients - flour, milk and eggs. The only difference is that when making pancakes we also add some raising agent like baking powder. This makes pancakes thicker and softer. And because they are thicker we also make the smaller in size. On the other hand crêpes are thinner, when making them we use no baking powder and we make them bigger. Before we eat them we also stuff them with fruit, nutella, or some other topping. Anyway, so much about the pancake and crêpes difference, not it's time for some pancake recipes.
