Pancakes like in the movies: cooking real American pancakes

When we watch American films, we always pay attention to how the heroes eat pancakes for breakfast. They are somewhat similar to the usual pancakes or pancakes, and they are even prepared in about the same way, but still differ significantly. So what is so special about this popular dessert? Let's learn how to cook real American pancakes together.

The rules without which real pancakes cannot work

To get a good result, you need to strictly adhere to the recommendations. Remember a few simple rules for making pancakes.

1. Use only fresh food. Pay special attention to the expiration date of the baking powder: the old one will surely let you down.
2. Stir the ingredients only until they are combined into a homogeneous mass. With prolonged and intensive mixing, the flour will begin to give gluten, and instead of fluffy fluffy pancakes, you will get rubber pancakes.
3. Pancakes need to be fried from freshly made dough. Do not leave it even for an hour, otherwise the baking powder will simply stop working.

4. The crust of pancakes should be even and tender, not fried. Therefore, you need to fry them in a dry frying pan.

Classic recipe: pancakes with milk

These pancakes cook quickly, so you can make them for breakfast even if you don't have much time.

Fresh hot pancakes are the perfect breakfast!

For pancakes you will need:

• 250 ml of milk;
• 1 egg;
• 4 tbsp. l. Sahara;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• 1/4 tsp salt;
• 170 g flour;
• 40 g butter.

Note that the butter needs to be melted, but use only when it cools down or becomes a little warm. It's okay if you don't feel like drowning it or you just don't have time for it: in such cases, I replace butter with vegetable oil (3 tbsp. L.)

1. Take a deep bowl, pour milk and butter into it, add sugar, beat in eggs. Mix everything thoroughly.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with baking powder, salt. Gradually sift this mixture through a pastry sieve into a bowl of milk, eggs and sugar, stirring constantly so that the mass is homogeneous and does not form lumps.

3. Preheat a dry skillet. It is not necessary to lubricate it with oil. Quickly pour the dough onto a hot surface (1 pancake will require 2 tablespoons) and wait for bubbles to appear. It is important to remember that there should not be many bubbles: as soon as they appear, immediately turn the pancake over to the other side.

4. On the other hand, the pancake will be fried even faster, even in less than a minute.

   

   You need to turn the pancake to the other side immediately, as soon as bubbles appear on the dough.

During the time you cook pancakes, your kettle will just boil and tea will be brewed, or coffee will be brewed.

Put ready-made pancakes on the table immediately, while they are hot

You can substitute kefir for fresh milk. In all other respects, the recipe remains unchanged, except that instead of baking powder, soda (1/2 tsp) must be used. Put a bowl or saucepan with kefir over low heat, add soda. It will start to extinguish when the kefir heats up a little. Then remove the cookware from the heat. And then do everything in the same way as described above.

Pancakes with banana

Pancakes are often made with berries or fruits, but in America the most popular option is banana. For this recipe you will need:

• 250 ml of milk;
• 170-190 g flour;
• 1 egg;
• 1 tbsp. l. Sahara;
• 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• 1 banana;
• 1.5 tsp. baking powder;

• 1 pinch of salt.

  

  Banana pancakes are very popular in America

You can use a mixer to beat the dough, but personally, I prefer to use a whisk. Although it takes more time, it seems to me that this way the dough is better saturated with oxygen, it becomes more tender and fries well.

1. Whisk the egg with sugar and salt.

   

   Beat eggs and sugar until smooth.

2. Grind the banana with a blender or simply mash with a fork.

   

   Banana is more convenient to chop with a blender

3. Combine the banana and the egg and sugar mixture.

4. Add milk and vegetable oil, mix everything thoroughly. Next - sifted flour and baking powder. Whisk everything quickly.

   

   Make sure to sift the flour before kneading the dough.

5. Then everything is as usual: pour the dough into a hot frying pan, turn it over in a timely manner and transfer the pancake fried on both sides into a plate.
