You've probably heard about the famous American pancakes - pancakes, or seen them in films. Pancakes are the most common American breakfast. They are similar in size to ours, but they do not use yeast dough for their preparation. They are cooked in milk, kefir, cream, and baked in a dry frying pan, so don't be afraid of excess fat. A distinctive feature of pancakes is the mandatory addition of eggs, beaten into fluffy foam and baking powder. Thanks to beaten eggs, pancakes are very tender, and milk and butter make them extremely tasty. Americans eat pancakes in their own way - with maple syrup, but we can flavor them with our favorite additives - sour cream, butter, condensed milk.
Wash chicken eggs well and dry with napkins. Break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks, put them in different dishes. First of all, let's take up the egg whites - they need to be whipped into a strong, thick foam. To do this, we need a mixer or blender with a whisk attachment, and before whipping, add a pinch of salt to the proteins. For the whites to whisk well, they must be cold.
In another bowl, into which we sent the egg yolks, you need to pour milk, add sugar. Sift the wheat flour and baking powder through a sieve to enrich with oxygen and add to the dough as well. All products should be mixed with each other. So that the dough does not remain a lump, at this stage you can use a mixer.
Gently, using a spoon, introduce the fluffy protein mass into the dough. Try not to crush the dough, stir it. The result is a delicate airy dough that looks like whipped sour cream.
Add two tablespoons of odorless vegetable oil (refined) to the dough and gently stir the dough again with a spoon.
Grease a frying pan with a little oil once, before the first portion of baking. To do this, you can use a silicone brush or walk along the bottom of the pan with a napkin soaked in oil. In the future, the procedure for greasing the pan can be omitted, pancakes will be baked in a dry pan. If you want to do without oil altogether, take a pan with a non-stick coating.
Preheat a skillet over high heat. The pancakes are baked one at a time, the dough should be spread with a large spoon or ladle in the center of the pan. The usual size of pancakes is about the size of the palm, that is, slightly larger than pancakes. Pancakes are prepared very quickly, one might say instantly. As soon as the surface of the "pancake" is covered with holes, it must be turned over with a spatula to the other side and held on the stove for literally half a minute.
Thus, we bake the pancakes one by one until the dough runs out. We put the ready-made American pancakes on a dish in a pile, and serve hot.
These fluffy American pancakes are golden brown and delicious. Agree, this is a worthy alternative to your favorite pancakes, which are fried in a large amount of oil. Children will especially like this delicacy! Do not forget to serve your favorite additions to pancakes - jam, honey or melted chocolate. Bon Appetit!!!
Many people believe that they cook and love pancakes only in Russia. But in reality, there is something similar in every country. And you can be convinced of this by watching at least Hollywood family comedies. In them, very often mothers prepare pancakes for their children for breakfast, better known to Russians as American pancakes. Every housewife knows the recipe for this dish there. But for the Russian look, they look a little unusual. Despite this, many compatriots wanted to make such pancakes. All they had to do was find out how to do it.
And when the Russian women managed to bake the cooking recipe for the first time, it surprised them a little with its simplicity. Indeed, pancakes need the most common products: eggs - 3 pcs., Cream - 500 ml, sugar - 6 tablespoons, baking soda - 0.5 teaspoon, flour - 2-2.5 cups, a little salt, vanilla and cinnamon ... The main secret of their splendor is that eggs are divided into whites and yolks, unlike Russian pancakes. Beat the whites and salt into a strong fluffy mass. Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, soda, cream to the yolks and add flour in portions. Stir everything with a whisk. At the end, add the dough should be quite thick - almost like a pancake. Pour some dough into the center of a greased skillet to make a pancake with a diameter of 10-12 cm. During cooking, cover and bake over medium heat until tender. It's so easy to make American pancakes at home.
The recipe is so popular in North America that the traditionally served recipe can be bought in every store, and even more than one. In Russia, such pancakes are often served with liquid jam and berries, honey or condensed milk. However, this does not significantly affect the popularity of pancakes. That is why American pancakes appeared, the recipe of which involves adding berries directly to the dough.
Sift one and a half cups of flour, add a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to it. Beat the egg with 300 ml of milk separately until fluffy. Gradually add flour without stopping stirring. Finally, add a tablespoon of melted butter. Add 200 g of berries to taste - cranberries, blueberries or any other. Stir and bake small pancakes in a well-heated skillet. Serve, garnished with powdered sugar and berries.
For those who often have to cook American ones with a photo, they don't even need it. Moreover, making them as easy as shelling pears. True, like all pancakes, pancakes take a lot of time to prepare. But you can buy a special pancake pan. It allows you to quickly and without hassle bake up to 4-6 pancakes at the same time. Moreover, there are models for use on the stove and powered by the mains. It remains only to choose the right one.
Of course, it takes a little skill to make the truth so simple that everything will definitely work out. If not the first time, then the second - for sure. Pancakes will perfectly complement any breakfast. And they are tasty not only hot, but also cold. In this they are similar to their Russian "brothers".

Pancakes (Pancakes) in translation from English pun - frying pan, cake - cake. Pancakes Are small American pancakes, but in shape and size they are more like ours pancakes... Usually, pancakes served for breakfast with a variety of sweet sauces, chocolate, berries, maple syrup. Earlier these pancakes were a very popular breakfast only in the USA and Canada, now pancakes They enjoy breakfast all over the world, including in our country. Such popularity pancakes it is quite obvious, they are very tasty, and they are prepared simply and quickly.
There are many different recipes preparing these pancakes I suggest you a simple milk pancake recipe... As always, a detailed description and step by step recipe with photos will help you prepare the most delicious, soft and airy pancakes.
From the specified number of ingredients, I get 12-15 pancakes, 7-8 cm in diameter.
Here are all the ingredients we need. With the specified amount of sugar, pancakes are not very sweet, they are suitable for those who eat them with sweet additives, and for those who prefer unsweetened ones (for example, with sour cream or cheese). But still, if you like sweeter, add more sugar. You can also experiment with flavors and add, for example, vanilla sugar or cinnamon.
In the container in which we will make the pancake dough, beat the egg, add sugar and salt. If you want to add vanilla sugar, add it now.
Stir with a mixer or just a whisk until smooth and complete dissolution of sugar and salt.
Add milk, mix.
Pour in vegetable oil and mix well again.
Sift flour and baking powder into a separate container. If you want to add cinnamon or other dry spices to the dough, add them now, it is better to sift them too. We mix everything very thoroughly, I recommend doing this with a whisk, so the result will be better. It is important that the baking powder evenly mixes with the flour, otherwise it may turn out that in some part of the dough it is not there at all, and then it will not rise, but somewhere on the contrary there will be a lot of baking powder and you can taste the soda. So do not be lazy to mix everything well.
Add the sifted flour with baking powder to the container with the dough. We mix until smooth, but we try to work faster, if you knead the dough for a long time, gluten will begin to develop in the flour and pancakes may not turn out soft, but "rubber". That's it, the dough is ready, it turns out not very thick and flows quite well. Pancakes should be fried right away, and not left for later (to be precise, pancakes are usually not fried, but baked).
We will bake in a dry frying pan without oil, it is thanks to this that the pancakes turn out to be so evenly ruddy and smooth. Also, to obtain such a uniform color, it is important to use a pan with a smooth bottom, without embossing. A pan with a smooth, non-stick coating works well. The diameter of the pan can be any, but it depends on how many pancakes you can fry at a time, so I prefer to take the largest one.
Put the pan on medium heat and heat well. Pour the dough into a hot pan. Pour the dough into the middle of the pancake, it will spread by itself. If necessary, trim a little so that the circles are as even as possible. I make them with a diameter of about 7-8 cm, but this size is optional, do as you like. Pancakes are baked quite quickly, so I recommend pouring the dough for one pancake at a time, it is better to take a large spoon or ladle, scoop up more dough, pour immediately as much as needed for one pancake, return the excess back to the container with the dough. If you pour in small portions several times, the pancake may bake unevenly and turn out to be unevenly ruddy.
When bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the poured dough, it's time to turn our pancake over. If you have chosen the correct temperature regime, then by the time the bubbles appear, the pancake should no longer be completely liquid on top (otherwise, when turning over, the dough will spread out a little, the pancakes will turn out to be crooked), and brown evenly from below. If the bottom of the pancake is already starting to burn, and the top is still completely liquid, reduce the heat on the stove. Well, and accordingly, on the contrary, if it is already completely baked, and from below it is completely light, the heating should be increased.
Fry pancakes on the back side until the same ruddy color as on the first side.
To check if your pancakes are baking well, break one open and see if there is any raw dough left inside. On the break, it should be visible that the pancake is baked and evenly risen.
Pancakes ready, do not wait for them to cool down, eat them right away. It is good to add berries, nuts to them, pour with various syrups and sweet sauces, melted chocolate, condensed milk or honey. I really like them with cranberry sauce according to this recipe:. Bon Appetit!
Cooking Pancakes, American pancakes is not difficult. First, mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir very thoroughly for a minute so that small particles are evenly distributed over future Pancakes. Now add the chicken egg. Take a whisk, a blender with a whisk or a mixer and beat the dry mixture with the egg, then add the milk and beat everything thoroughly again until not a single lump remains. Add lemon juice, beat, pour out olive oil, beat again, and that's it, the Pancake dough is ready! It should be thick enough, but not too thick. By the way, yes, Milk Packets are a classic, in any American family they are made with milk, Kefir Pancakes are no longer American pancakes.Preparation is complete, now place a nonstick pancake pan or other flat-bottomed pan over medium heat. We will fry Pancake pancakes completely without oil, and they will definitely not burn 🙂 The peculiarity of American pancakes is this - they are dry, that is, they are fried in a completely dry frying pan.
When the pan is warm, pour 2 tablespoons of Pancake dough into the middle of the surface. Fry American Pancake for about a minute, until bubbles begin to appear, then turn over to the other side and fry the same amount more. American pancakes are often called "American pancakes" due to their small diameter, but this quick and tasty breakfast is very different from pancakes. At the very least, frying does not use an incredible amount of vegetable oil. Anyway, you can compare the recipes and see for yourself, for example, take
.
Repeat the process of toasting American pancakes until the pancake dough is finished. We put the finished pancakes with a turret. Fruits and berries can be inserted between them. For example, like mine: American Pancakes with banana, blueberries and raspberries. Another incredibly tasty combination is Pancakes with banana and chocolate spread. Here you can safely show your imagination. Of course, you can pour maple syrup or runny honey on top and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Mmm, how delicious it is! 🙂
Summing up the results.
