How to Make the Recipe
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create the Best Pancake Recipe Ever:
- MIX YOUR DRY INGREDIENTS: Start by measuring your flour carefully. I recommend using a kitchen scale for accuracy, but if you don’t have one, use the spoon and level method. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 tsps of baking powder, and ½ tsp of salt. Mix well using a whisk or wooden spoon, then set aside.
- MIX YOUR WET INGREDIENTS: In another large bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Add the egg yolks, 3 tbsp of sugar, 1½ cups of water, 3 tbsp of neutral cooking oil, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk for about a minute until bubbles form and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
- MIX THE WET AND DRY INGREDIENTS: Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula. When the flour clumps are still big, add the egg whites and fold a little more. Remember, a few clumps are okay! Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- COOK THE PANCAKES: Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan. Cook for 2 to 2.5 minutes until small bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is used!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some tips to ensure your pancakes turn out perfectly:
- Don’t overmix the batter; it should be a little clumpy for fluffy pancakes.
- Use a wire rack to keep pancakes warm without deflating them.
- Experiment with different toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist!
- If you’re looking for dairy free appetizers, consider serving these pancakes with a side of fruit or yogurt.
How to Serve
Once your pancakes are cooked, it’s time to serve them up! I love stacking my golden brown fluffy pancakes high and adding a generous cube of butter on top. Drizzle with loads of maple syrup for that magical touch! You can also get creative with toppings like:
- Fresh berries
- Banana slices
- Chopped nuts
- Chocolate chips
- Whipped cream
These pancakes are so versatile; you can serve them however you like, and they’ll still taste wonderful!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare for a busy week, you can make these pancakes ahead of time! Here’s how:
- Cook the pancakes and let them cool completely.
- Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave.
- For longer storage, freeze the pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Now that you have this dairy free pancake recipe in your arsenal, you can enjoy fluffy pancakes any day of the week! And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, don’t forget to check out my Decadent Chocolate Cake or Moist Chocolate Cake for dessert ideas. Happy cooking!
