Instructions
The ingredients are really plain, two cups of plain flour, two eggs, one tablespoon of baking powder, one and half cups milk, three tablespoons of granulated sugar, two tablespoons of butter or vegetable oil, one teaspoon of vanilla essence.
Make sure you have all the ingredients with you and they are of best quality. Sieve the flour and baking powder and sugar. Sieve the flour twice. Mix the dry ingredients. Now it is turn of the wet ingredients. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they are fluffy. Add the vanilla and milk into the eggs. If you are using butter, melt it. Mix it quickly with the egg mixture. Do not allow the butter to solidify again.
After that very slowly add the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix it very gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon. There should not be any lumps. But do not stir it too much. Too much stirring will make the pancakes tough, chewy and flat. Now keep the batter in the refrigerator for sometime (about 15 to 20 minutes) to rest.
Do not beat the batter after taking it out. A normal pan can be used to fry the pancakes, but a pancake griddle will be a better option. Heat the griddle or a heavy bottomed pan on a medium flame. Check if it has heated properly, drizzle a few drops of water. If it skitter then the pan is ready. Brush the pan with vegetable oil or clarifying butter (regular butter will burn) It is better that you first make a ‘sacrificial one’ to taste if everything is right. If it is burnt, reduce the flame; if it is raw in the middle cook it for a longer time then. Now pour one fourth cup of batter. Ladle in as many scoops of batter that can be flipped easily.
Cook it for one to three minutes. When the pancake is dry around the edges and small bubbles have formed, flip it. Cook the other side until it has got a beautiful golden brown hue. Do not press it. If you want a better color repeat this process for about twenty second each side.
Serve them immediately. Pancakes can be topped with many things like butter, honey, syrup, jam or whipped cream. But you can try other toppings and other variations of pancake.
