Light & Flu!y Pancakes

Ingredients
Equipment Timing
200 g Pastry !our !
30 g Sugar Fine-mesh sieve ! 10 min
20 g Malted milk powder Whisk !
Nonstick pan !
12 g Baking powder ! Yield
6g Salt
240 g Milk, whole 675 g batter
108 g Eggs, about 2 whole
60 g Butter, melted

1 Mix dry ingredients


200 g Pastry !our !
Sift together all ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
30 g Sugar
20 g Malted milk powder
12 g Baking powder ! From here you have a few options: (1) pour the dry mix into an airtight container
6g Salt and store in a cool, dark place for later; (2) draw daisies on the jar with a metallic
marker and give it to your mom (a good way to become the favorite); (3) start
cooking now.

Think ahead!
If you love waking up to fresh pancakes often, make a big batch of dry mix and set
aside for when the craving strikes! Just seal up individual batches of dry mix, and
when you’re ready, you can simply !nish the batter with eggs, milk, and butter.

2 Combine wet ingredients; add dry mix


240 g Milk, whole
With a whisk, combine milk and eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add dry mix and
108 g Eggs, about 2 whole
keep whisking until your batter just comes together.

TIP: Don’t overmix! Too much gluten development will lead to a !rmer, tougher
pancake. Mix the batter just enough to hydrate the dry ingredients, then stop.

3 Melt butter
60 g Butter
Melt butter on the stove over low heat or in the microwave.

4 Add butter to batter


60 g Butter, melted
Pour your melted butter into the batter and stir gently to incorporate.

5 Cook those bad boys


The time has come for you to make some pancakes.

We like to start out on medium heat with a dry nonstick pan. Spoon some batter
into a small circle, and rotate the spoon to pile the batter into a little mound. Then
step back. Don’t move the pancakes around. Just give them time to gently cook
through, monitoring your heat so they don’t scorch on the bottom.

Once air bubbles begin to form on the top and steam is pu"ng out, it’s time to #ip.
If you’ve got fancy #ipping skills, this is your time to shine. If you just want to use a
spatula, hey, we support you. Just be gentle so you don’t splatter the raw batter
when you #ip the pancakes.

Continue cooking on the other side until you’ve achieved golden-brown perfection.

Yeah, but how long do I cook them for? It depends on the size of the pancake, but
usually about three minutes on the !rst side and two minutes on the other side.
After three minutes, the pancake will develop a “skin,” which will allow you to slide
a spatula underneath to check the color. If it’s got a nice, even tan, #ip it and cook
for about two minutes more.

Perfect cakes come from dry nonstick pans


Y’know those pancakes with psychedelic patterns all over them? What about the
ones that have weird dark spots even though they’re undercooked? How about the
ones that burn on one side but not on the other? Those delinquent pancakes were
all cooked on greasy, uneven surfaces. The trick for perfectly tan, #at pancakes is
simple: cook them on a dry, nonstick surface. That’s all there is to it.

Eat ’em.
Damn, they #u$y. Add syrup and butter, or strawberries and mint, or eggs and
bacon. It’s your breakfast—cherish it.

Love buckwheat pancakes?


So do we.
For perfect buckwheat pancakes like Grandma Gavin used to make, follow the
same steps as above but use the ingredient list below.
