Chef Sven's Perfectly Fluffy Pancakes

Chef Sven • 2024-01-15

It was a bright and sunny morning when I woke up with an insatiable craving for pancakes. Not just any pancakes, mind you, but the perfectly fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth kind that would make anyone’s taste buds sing with joy. So, I dusted off my trusty old recipe book and set to work in the kitchen, armed with flour, eggs, milk, and a whisk. As I mixed the batter, memories of my early days as a chef came flooding back. I used to be on television, you know? I had my own cooking show where I shared my culinary creations with the world. Ah, those were the days! But now, I find joy in cooking for the everyday home chef, bringing a little taste of magic to their kitchens. And so, without further ado, I present to you my recipe for the most delightful, perfectly fluffy pancakes you will ever taste.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy these fluffy delights and let them transport you to pancake heaven!
