How To Make American Pancakes Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 90°C and place a heatproof platter inside to keep the pancakes warm.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together 120g flour, 25g sugar, 10g baking powder, and 1g salt. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk 240ml milk, 30g melted butter (or vegetable oil), and 1 large egg until smooth.
4. Combine the Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
5. Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat it generously with vegetable oil.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to the heatproof platter in the oven and cover with foil to keep them warm until ready to serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the pancakes dense and chewy instead of fluffy.
• Use a Hot Pan: Make sure your skillet or griddle is preheated and hot before adding the batter to get a perfect golden crust.
• Cook Over Medium Heat: Avoid high heat, as it can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked. Medium heat ensures even cooking.
• Flip at the Right Time: Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking slightly set before flipping the pancake.
• Keep Pancakes Warm: Use a low oven to keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest. This keeps them soft and fresh until serving.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the leftover pancakes to room temperature first. After that, put them in an airtight container or wrap them well with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the pancakes cool completely. Freeze them flat on a tray first, then put them in a freezer bag or container. You can keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Warm a non-stick pan on medium heat and reheat the pancakes for about 1 minute on each side.
