How to Make Pancake Batter

Today , I'm gonna show you how to make the best pancake batter .

I love pancakes .

My kids love pancakes .

Got pancakes coming out of my ears on the weekend .

Today , we're gonna use my classic pancake recipe of flour .

And then you're gonna wanna make a little well in the middle and we are gonna use baking powder .

You wanna make sure that your baking powder is active and recent .

It's going to give your pancakes that fluffy lift that you love .

And then I would just take my whisk and mix it all together for the baking powder to activate .

I'm just going to use a tiny bit of salt in this recipe and then again , mix it in really well with the flour .

The classic recipe does call for a little bit of white sugar , but you can totally admit it if you want .

And now that our dry ingredients are ready , we're gonna add the wet ingredients to create our pancake batter .

I've got some milk right here , but you can use dairy free milk , whatever milk of choice that you use , you're gonna make it , you're gonna pour it right in the middle of your flour .

You're also gonna add one egg and I like to add a little bit of melted butter to my pancake batter .

A little bit of butter goes a long way with this recipe .

So I'm just gonna take my whisk and start at the middle .

I'm gonna stick to the middle part of my bowl so that the egg combines itself with the milk and there are no clumpy things going on .

And now once you no longer see the egg yolk , you gonna start making larger circles to incorporate the flour into your wet batter .

I'm just gonna use some butter to grease my non-stick pan , fill it up with some of the batter and onto my pan .

One mistake that a lot of people make with their pancakes is they flip them too early .

So you know that your pancakes are ready to be flipped when the sides are kind of solid and held together and these bubbles begin to form at the top .

Now , once you flip your pancakes , they are gonna take that lift from the heat and the baking powder that you used .

And now you have perfectly golden pancakes .

So you're just gonna lift them out of the pan , put them onto a plate for the recipe to the perfect batter .
