    Light, fluffy pancakes that are quick and easy to make! Accompanied by maple syrup, they're perfect for brunch, an on-the-go breakfast or a quick snack.

    In the UK and the USA, these thick pancakes can be eaten in a savoury version, with bacon and eggs for example.

    💙 Why you'll love them

    • Ready in 15 minutes
    • They require only a handful of ingredients
    • They can be eaten at any time of day and can be frozen.

    🧈 Ingredients

    • Flour: I use all-purpose flour.
    • Baking soda
    • Brown sugar: reduce the dose slightly if you want the savoury version.
    • Butter: preferably soft
    • Milk: I recommend semi-skimmed.
    • Eggs - ideally pasture-raised organic. You can refer to the Eco Tips I've written on eggs to help you choose the right ones.

    ✅ Gluten-free and dairy-free version

    • To make this recipe gluten-free, replace the wheat flour with a gluten-free flour (buckwheat, corn, chestnut, etc.). Please note that, depending on the flour you choose, it may flavour the pancakes.
    • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the milk with dairy-free milk. Dairy-free cow milk is available, but you can also use plant-based milks (which can also be used to flavor pancakes).

    🥰 Expert tips

    • As European, I'm used to working in grams and milliliters. For savory dishes, the American measuring system can work just perfectly. But for anything sweet, I really recommend using a digital scale, which is much more precise. That way, you'll be sure to succeed with your recipes.
    • Beat the egg whites until stiff : this is what gives the pancakes their ultra-soft texture. Don't skip this step!
    • If you don't have a small pan, use a cookie cutter: the more the pancake batter spreads out in the pan, the less thick and fluffy it will be.

    💡Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you know when pancakes are done?

    Once you've poured the batter with your ladle into the hot pan with a dab of butter, wait a little while for it to start bubbling, then turn the pancake over to cook on the other side. After one or two minutes, it will be ready!

    ❄️ Storage and freezing

    Storage

    Don't put your pancake batter in the fridge - it will ferment extremely quickly! If you want to keep your pancakes: bake them all, cool them well and put them in a sealed tin in the fridge.

    You can enjoy it for 48 hours. Just before eating, reheat them quickly in a hot oven.

    Freezing

    Bake all the pancakes according to my recipe, then leave them to cool. Place the 1st pancake on parchment paper and assemble: a pancake, a layer of parchment paper, etc... Then put them in a freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, write the date on them and put them in the freezer.

    You can keep them for up to 2 months and defrost them whenever you need a quick breakfast.

    Dreamy pancakes

    Fluffy pancakes ready in 15 minutes for your Sunday breakfast? You'll be hooked in no time 🙂
    Servings 4 large pancakes
    Prep Time 7 minutes mins
    Cook Time 8 minutes mins
    Total Time 15 minutes mins

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (100g)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (25g)
    • 3,5 floz milk (100g)
    • 1 large egg
    • unsalted butter for cooking
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Mix the flour, baking soda and brown sugar in a bowl.
    • In a second bowl, melt the butter (make sure it's not too hot and doesn't form bubbles. If it does, let it cool for 5 minutes). Add the milk, then the egg yolk, and whisk the egg whites in a third bowl until hard (if perfectly whisked, egg whites won't move when you turn the bowl upside down).
    • Put the second bowl into the first, mix well, then add the egg white and mix again.
    • Take a mini frying pan and put it over low/medium heat. Add a bit of butter and a ladleful of the mixture.
    • When small bubbles start to form on the dough, turn the pancake over and let it cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up.

    Notes

    • As European, I'm used to working in grams and milliliters. For savory dishes, the American measuring system can work just perfectly. But for anything sweet, I really recommend using a digital scale, which is much more precise. That way, you'll be sure to succeed with your recipes.
    • If you don't have a small pan, use a cookie cutter: the more the pancake batter spreads out in the pan, the less heavy and fluffy it will be.
