How to make Fluffy Pancakes

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a mixer for 10 minutes until fluffy and pale, achieving a thick consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and powdered milk) to the egg mixture. Add the melted butter and mix for 10 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add the water and gently mix with a spatula until just combined.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil, then wipe the oil off with a kitchen towel. Pour the batter into the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Cover the pan and cook until the pancake is bubbly. Flip and cook for 2 minutes on low heat.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat the process for the remaining batter. Serve plain or with your favorite syrup.

Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure the eggs and sugar are whipped to a pale and thick consistency.

  2. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in tough pancakes.

  3. Use a non-stick pan and wipe off excess oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking and burning.

FAQS

  1. Can I use regular milk instead of powdered milk?

    Yes, you can substitute regular milk for powdered milk. Use about 1/4 cup of milk and adjust the amount of water accordingly to achieve the desired batter consistency.

  2. Can I add fruit to the pancake batter?

    Absolutely! You can add blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas to the batter for added flavor and texture.

  3. How can I make these pancakes dairy-free?

    You can use a dairy-free milk alternative like almond milk or soy milk instead of powdered milk and substitute the melted butter with a dairy-free butter alternative or vegetable oil.

  4. Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    While it's best to cook the pancakes immediately after mixing the batter, you can prepare the batter up to 30 minutes in advance. Keep it refrigerated and stir gently before cooking.

  5. What is the best way to keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batch?

    Place the cooked pancakes on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) to keep them warm without making them soggy.
