Delicious Pancakes Lena: A Breakfast Delight

Pancake Recipe: A Family Tradition

• This delightful pancake recipe has been lovingly passed down from my mom, who used to prepare these scrumptious pancakes regularly for our family. The aroma of freshly cooked pancakes wafting through the house on weekend mornings is a cherished memory that brings a smile to my face. Each bite is not just a taste of fluffy goodness but also a reminder of the warmth and love that filled our kitchen during those special moments.

• These pancakes are incredibly easy to prepare, making them a perfect choice for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch in no time, ensuring that breakfast is not only delicious but also hassle-free. The quick preparation time means that you can enjoy a homemade breakfast even on the busiest of mornings.

Ingredients

To make these delightful pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk

- 1 large egg

- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

- Optional: vanilla extract for added flavor

Instructions

1. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended. This step is crucial as it ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour, which will help your pancakes rise perfectly.

2. **Combine Wet Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter (or oil). If you’re using vanilla extract, you can add a teaspoon at this stage for an extra layer of flavor. Mixing these ingredients separately allows for a smoother batter and a more consistent texture in your pancakes.

3. **Combine Mixtures**: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. It’s perfectly fine if there are a few lumps in the batter; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, so a light hand is key.

4. **Cook the Pancakes**: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease the surface with a bit of butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

5. **Serve and Enjoy**: Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve them warm. They are delicious on their own or topped with your favorite accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Preparation:

1. Prepare all the above ingredients.

2. Mix eggs, grated lemon peel, yogurt, oil, and sugar, then gradually add flour and water, whisking constantly. Gradually add milk and flour alternately and mix. Lemon will give this dough a wonderful aroma and taste; it will smell irresistible.

3. The mixture must be about the consistency of a frappé, neither too thin nor too thick.

4. Pour a little oil into the pan and heat it over moderate heat. I recommend using a 22 cm Teflon pan.

5. Wait for the oil to heat up well. Take a soup ladle and put in the dough you kneaded, take something a little less than the volume of the ladle.

6. Spread the dough in the pan and immediately rotate it in a circular motion with the pan until you fill the gaps. Cook each side for about 1–2 minutes. Let the temperature be a little higher, but be careful not to burn your pancakes; you have to be near the stove all the time.

7. With the help of a cake knife, turn them to the other side. Pancakes must be fluffy and have brown spots, and make sure that the batter is not pale when you flip it.

8. Repeat the process until you use up all the ingredients, or you can leave it for breakfast tomorrow; just cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for another 2 days, no more.

9. When all the pancakes are ready, you can start filling them with the ingredients you want from the list. Fill into rolls or fold into a triangle. Serve.

Bon appetito!

NOTE:

• Cover the rest of the pancakes with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days.
