Simple pancake recipe..
there's no secret recipe, only a tricks and tips for make pancakes that are lighter, softer, and fluffier. The basic recipe is pretty much the same as every other pancake recipe. The only difference is we add a little bit more baking powder and a little bit less milk.
This makes the batter denser and it raises more when we cook it. The result is a nice and fluffy pancake. But that's not all. In the end I have collected and added a few extra tips to make your flapjacks even softer.
This recipe will serve 2 people, maybe three, but you can easily double it. But first - what do we need to get started?
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shortening melted (mentega putih)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shortening melted (mentega putih)
Now for the extra fluffy tricks and tips:
1. Sift the flour - this one is pretty basic and lots of people recommend it. Just sift the flour before you start making your pancake batter.
2. Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them - this is an old trick that you can use in any recipe to get softer results. Separate the egg whites from the yolk and beat them until they turn to white creamy snow. Then follow the fluffy pancake recipe except don't add the egg whites to the batter. Only when the batter is mixed and ready slowly and gently stir in the egg whites and then make pancakes.
3. Substitute some milk (1/4 cup) with bubbly mineral water (one that has CO2 gas in it). Use plain water without any additives, don't use flavored ones (well actually you could, but then you would get flavored pancakes :) ). The CO2 bubbles in the water will be released into the batter making it lighter and making even more fluffy pancakes :). If you are bold - some people even use beer for this! Think about beer foam - lots and lots of tiny bubbles.
