This fluffy pancake recipe is perfect for a large batch, making it ideal for family breakfasts or gatherings. With 1 kilogram of flour, you can whip up a delicious stack of pancakes that everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 kg all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 liter milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: Maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. This will help to aerate the flour and ensure that the baking powder and baking soda are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
-
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
Step 4: Preheat the Griddle
-
Preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little butter or cooking spray.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
-
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Keep Warm
-
If making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C) while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Step 7: Serve
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or nuts. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy pancakes!
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking.
- You can customize your pancakes by adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts directly into the batter before cooking.
- Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
