Steps For Making the Best Pancakes at Home

Follow these simple steps to cook and make the fluffiest pancakes at home:

1. Sift all your dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Create a well in the middle of the sifted dry ingredients then add the wet ingredients.
3. Whisk until smooth and combined. Do not to overmix.
4. The batter should be thick, but not runny. Be sure to follow the recipe quantities to get the right consistency. If you think the batter is too thick, add a bit of milk, around 1 tablespoon at a time. If you think the batter is too thin, add a bit of flour, a tablespoon at a time.
5. Prepare a scoop which can be a 1/3 or 1/2 measuring cup.
6. Heat up a heavy bottomed pan to medium heat. Use a thermometer if you have one. Melt some butter (around 1/2 tablespoon) until it reaches 150C or around 300F.
7. Pour the batter over the pre-heated pan. If your batter is the right consistency, it will automatically form a nice circular shape. Leave it to cook for a around 1-2 minutes before touching it.
8. Wait until bubbles appear at the center of the pancake. The time it takes depends on your pan and your hob, but this should take around 1-2 minutes.
9. Using a flat kitchen utensil, flip the pancake. Be careful no to splatter any uncooked batter on yourself!
10. Usually by this time, it will take quicker for the other side of the pancake to cook and have a golden brown color. Try to lift the pancake every now and then to check that it hasn't burned.
11. Flip the pancake and check both sides are golden. Cook any side that you feel is a bit too pale.
12. Transfer to a plate and this is ready to serve!
