American pancakes with milk: step-by-step preparation

We will need:

• Milk - 300 ml;
• Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• Egg - 1 pc.;
• Sugar - 4 tablespoons;
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon;
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon;
• Flour - 200 gr.;
• Soda - 1 teaspoon.

Preparation:

Take a bowl and mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.

After this you need to beat the egg. You need to beat it for about 3 minutes until smooth.

Pour milk over the entire mixture and mix our dough thoroughly.

Heat the frying pan after greasing the surface with oil. Take a ladle and pour it into the frying pan.

Unlike Russian pancakes, the pancake dough does not need to be distributed throughout the pan.

We wait until bubbles appear. This is approximately 2-3 minutes.

After this, turn the flour product over.

IMPORTANT: after you turn it over to the other side it will cook faster. Therefore, check with a fork or spatula to see if the other side is browned. Just be careful not to burn your fingers.

Place the finished pancakes in a stack on a plate and pour liquid chocolate, honey, jam or syrup on top. Condensed milk or maple syrup also work well.

Interesting fact: Americans themselves call the filling or what they pour on top of their pancakes topping. They especially prefer maple syrup and chocolate.

Bon appetit and wide Maslenitsa!

Pancakes (Pancakes) translated from English pun - frying pan, cake - cake. Pancakes- these are small American pancakes, but in shape and size they are more reminiscent of ours pancakes. Usually, pancakes served for breakfast with various sweet sauces, chocolate, berries, maple syrup. Previously these pancakes were a very popular breakfast only in the USA and Canada, but now pancakes People enjoy breakfast all over the world, including in our country. Such popularity pancakes It’s pretty obvious that they are very tasty and easy and quick to prepare.

There are many different recipes preparing these pancakes, I suggest you a simple one milk pancake recipe. As always, detailed description and step by step recipe with photos will help you prepare the most delicious, soft and airy pancakes.

Ingredients

• milk 210 g (ml)
• egg 1 PC.
• flour 200 g
• baking powder 5 g (1 teaspoon)
• vegetable oil 25 g (2 tbsp. spoons)
• sugar 30 g (2 tbsp. spoons)
• salt 1/2 teaspoon

From the specified amount of ingredients I get 12-15 pancakes, 7-8 cm in diameter.

Preparation

Here are all the ingredients we will need. With the specified amount of sugar, the 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 it 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.

Mix with a mixer or just a whisk until smooth and the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

Add milk and mix.

Pour in vegetable oil and mix thoroughly 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. Mix everything very thoroughly, I recommend doing this with a whisk, this way the result will be better. It is important that the baking powder is mixed evenly with the flour, otherwise it may turn out that in some part of the dough there is no baking powder at all, and then it will not rise, but somewhere on the contrary there will be a lot of baking powder and you can feel the taste of soda. So don’t be lazy to mix everything well.

Add the sifted flour and baking powder to the container with the dough. Mix until smooth, but try to work faster; if you knead the dough for a long time, gluten will begin to develop in the flour and the pancakes may turn out “rubbery” rather than soft. That's it, the dough is ready, it is not very thick and flows quite well. Pancakes should be fried immediately, and not left for later (to be completely precise, pancakes are usually not fried, but baked).

We will bake in a dry frying pan without oil, this is what makes the pancakes so evenly browned and smooth. Also, to obtain such a uniform color, it is important to use a frying pan with a smooth bottom, without reliefs. A frying pan with a smooth non-stick coating works well. The diameter of the frying 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.

Place the pan on medium heat and heat well. Pour the dough into a hot frying pan. Pour the batter into the middle of the pancake, it will spread on its own. If necessary, trim a little so that the circles are as even as possible. I make them about 7-8 cm in diameter, but this size is optional, do as you like. Pancakes bake quite quickly, so I recommend pouring the dough for one pancake at a time, it’s better to take a large spoon or ladle, scoop up more dough, pour as much as you need for one pancake at once, return the excess back to the container with the dough. If you pour small portions several times, the pancake may bake unevenly and turn out unevenly browned.

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 right temperature mode, 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 a little, the pancakes will turn out crooked), and evenly browned on the bottom. If the pancake is already starting to burn on the bottom, but is still quite liquid on top, reduce the heat on the stove. Well, and accordingly, on the contrary, if it is already completely baked, and the bottom is very light, the heating should be increased.

Fry the pancakes on the back side until they are the same brown color as the first side.

To check if your pancakes are baked well, break one and see if there is any raw dough left inside. The crack should show that the pancake has baked and risen evenly.

Pancakes ready, don't wait for them to cool down, eat them right away. It is good to add berries, nuts to them, pour over various syrups and sweet sauces, melted chocolate, condensed milk or honey. I really like them with cranberry sauce using this recipe: . Bon appetit!

Why not bake American pancakes or pancakes for Maslenitsa? The most unusual thing about pancakes is that they turn out dry and not at all greasy. The recipe also changes the appearance of the pancakes. They turn out thick, their surface is smooth and even, and the consistency is completely different from classic Russian pancakes.

The finished milk pancakes should be stacked on top of each other. In this case, they retain heat much longer. And if you pour confiture on top of them, you will get an impromptu pancake cake.

Whipped cream, toppings with various flavors and berry syrups are used as additives to American pancakes.

milk pancake recipe

Ingredients:

• flour;
• egg;
• milk – 200 ml;
• sugar – 2 tbsp. l.;
• oil – 1 tbsp. l.

Cooking process:

Pour sugar into a deep container. Add an egg to it. Beat with a whisk. You should not use mechanical devices for this. There is no need to reach the state of foam, so you can do everything manually. When the egg mass becomes homogeneous, pour milk into it.

Then you need to pour flour into the bowl. This should be done in small portions and gradually. Mix everything. Again by hand. At the last moment, add liquid oil. It can be either vegetable or melted cream. Mix.

Using a ladle, pour the dough into a dry frying pan. It must have a non-stick coating. It is this condition that allows you to make pancakes dry. Cover with a lid. It is desirable that it be transparent. This way you can notice the holes that will appear on the surface of the pancake.

It is at this moment that it needs to be turned over.

Fry for another minute and transfer the thick pancake to a flat plate.

Tips for the hostess:

The dough for making pancakes should be used immediately; you should not leave it for “later” if it contains baking powder.

In order for the pancakes to be perfectly round in shape, they should be baked in a special frying pan with a thick and flat bottom, which must first be warmed up well and greased with oil only once.

American pancakes can be served with condensed milk, jam and jam, chocolate or fresh fruits and berries, that is, there are no restrictions here, it all depends on the taste preferences of those for whom the pancakes are prepared.

Pancakes - this word came to us from American cuisine and denotes a dish popular in the USA, which is a cross between our pancakes and pancakes. Pancakes with milk - these fluffy American ones, the recipe for which I want to offer you today, are prepared mainly for breakfast.

Residents of the USA and Canada cannot imagine their breakfast without freshly baked homemade pancakes.

American pancakes are shaped like our pancakes, only slightly larger (diameter about 12-14 cm), and taste more like pancakes. And the thickness is impressive - it reaches a centimeter or even more, a kind of voluminous dessert in a frying pan. But the word pancake in translation means a cake in a frying pan.

Pancake dough for pancakes is prepared on the basis of milk or kefir, sour milk and even water are also suitable, we also need butter, eggs, flour, soda or baking powder.

Pancakes with milk - a classic recipe

Compound:

• milk 1 glass
• egg 1 pc.
• vegetable oil 2 tbsp. (you can use melted butter)
• flour 180g.
• baking powder 2 tsp.
• sugar 1-3 tbsp.
• salt half a teaspoon

How to make fluffy American pancakes

• Very important! The milk for making pancake batter must be warm so that the baking powder works and the pancakes turn out fluffy.
• Eggs should be removed from the refrigerator in advance. Products at room temperature or slightly warm interact better with each other, the dough becomes more flexible and tender.
• Be sure to sift the flour, then the flour is enriched with oxygen, and the finished baked goods turn out fluffy and tender.
• Always use only fresh baking powder; do not use baking powder that has a shelf life of more than 6 months.
• When you mix the dough, do not overdo it. When mixing the liquid and dry parts, do not stir the dough until smooth; there should be lumps in the dough. Otherwise your pancakes will be rubbery.
• After the pancake dough is ready, leave it to stand for about five minutes, but no more! Since pancakes cook in a frying pan very quickly, the baking powder may not have time to release carbon dioxide.
• If you decide to make classic American pancakes, then using frying pans with sloping walls is not permissible. A pancake pan is ideal. If this is not available, then use any flat frying pan with a thick bottom that will prevent the baked goods from sticking and burning, and with a large enough area to easily turn the pancakes.
• Fry in a dry frying pan! The fact is that oil allows the pancakes to fry, while pancakes imply a delicate, uniform crust that does not need to be fried. It is best to bake pancakes in a dry frying pan; in extreme cases, lightly grease it with vegetable oil and remove excess with a napkin.
• You should not add berries or chocolate to the dough; practice shows that all these additives introduced directly into the dough begin to burn when frying. If you can’t imagine your pancakes without any additives, then first pour the dough into the frying pan, and then add your favorite treats.
• And one more very important point: do not cook pancakes over high heat. The fire should be moderate. Otherwise, they will not have time to rise and bake.

Preparation:

1. In a separate bowl, whisk all dry ingredients.
2. In another container, combine the egg, milk and vegetable oil, beat with a whisk. The liquid part should have a uniform consistency.
3. Now pour the liquid part into the dry ingredients, stir lightly with a whisk, don’t forget that you can’t stir for too long, we just need the two parts to combine.
4. Leave the pancake dough for 5 minutes and start baking pancakes.

American pancakes are usually served with maple syrup - this is a classic of the genre.
