NO FAIL WEEKEND PANCAKE RECIPE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every single Sunday morning begins with pancakes… and ends with leftover pancakes. These are everything you want in a pancake. They’re soft and so fluffy… each mouthful melts in your mouth, making this great recipe from scratch is so much better than the store bought powdered mix. You’ll be reaching for more than one… stack. Possibly. Probably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST FLUFFY PANCAKES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It all starts with the batter. Too thick and they will be gluggy and undercooked on the inside. Too runny, and the pancakes will spread out and won’t fluff up. I like to test the batter with my spoon or ladle, lifting it gently above the rim of the bowl. It has to be thick, but able to run slowly and nicely off the spoon. A couple of lumps is okay, but I do like to smooth out my batter as much as I can, gently with a wire whisk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO COOK PERFECT PANCAKES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Preheat your good quality, non stick pan, skillet or griddle on medium heat first. Once it’s hot, lower the heat down to low-medium heat. Wait about two minutes. This part is crucial and so worth it. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter (yes, even on non stick pans), and wipe away any excess butter with a sheet of paper towel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use a 1\/4 cup-sized measuring cup to pour your batter so you get perfect, evenly sized pancakes. Start pouring from the middle, then continue pouring slowly in a circular motion so that the batter spreads into perfect round shapes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Allow the pancakes to cook properly! Don’t rush them on high heat, or flip them too early. Let that under-side cook to a beautiful golden brown colour, and when bubbles start forming on top and around the surface (batter side), they are ready to flip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. How to get that flip perfected without creating lopsided pancakes? Grab a good, plastic spatula and slide it underneath the pancake. Use your wrist<\/em> to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm. You’ll know what I mean when you’re in front of your pan ready to flip. This<\/em> makes a huge<\/em> difference.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Did You Love It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I love breakfast and love cooking for my entire family and get the kids to help. After all these years, I’ve been able to create, make, and taste a lot of recipes that just COMPLETE your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you love fluffy pancakes as much as I do, see my list of pancake tuesday recipes<\/a>. There are plenty of other brunch recipes on the site that follow the same idea. Things like cappuccino pancakes<\/a>, which add a little coffee flavor to the batter, or paffles<\/a>, a mix between pancakes and waffles with crispy edges and a fluffy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For something savory, try a simple brunch frittata<\/a> or classic eggs benedict<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For something creamy, dishes like turkish classic eggs<\/a> with garlicky yogurt or simple poached eggs on toast fit right into the same kind of brunch spread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    My top FAQ’s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Can I make the batter ahead of time?<\/strong>

    I get asked this question a lot, and unfortunately the answer is NO. The secret to this easy recipe comes from mixing the baking soda, baking powder and milk. It gives off a chemical reaction creating bubbles and lift for the batter. This is the crucial step in getting the perfect rise making the pancakes the world’s fluffiest.<\/p> <\/div>

    How can I store the pancake mix?<\/strong>

    Never store the pancake batter in the refrigerator as you will get flat pancakes. You can cook them ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The cooked pancakes can be reheated in the microwave on high for 30 sec, making sure they are covered with a damp paper towel, trapping the moisture in. Alternatively you can heat them in the oven, preheating it to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C), make sure they are on a baking sheet in a single layer for 5-8 mins.<\/p> <\/div>

    Can a prediabetic have pancakes?<\/strong>

    In the recipe card I have given the option of taking out the sugar and replacing it with sweetener like Splenda, making this suitable for prediabetics. I would suggest serving the pancakes with sugar free maple syrup, sugar free chocolate chips (like Bake Believe or Choc Zero brands), blueberries and strawberries as they have low glycemic index. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
