TOP Secrets to fluffy pancakes!

11 / 01 / 2022

We love pancakes! The fluffier, the better, right? Keep reading to discover the best-kept secrets for making the lightest, fluffiest pancakes. 

Whether they're topped with honey, berries, condensed milk or hazelnut cream, they're definitely a little piece of heaven. 

 

Focusing on the batter is key. Make sure you use the right ingredients, amounts, temperatures and directions. Don't worry though! This recipe's super simple, and we’ll be by your side every step of the way.

 

Always use fresh ingredients.

Make sure your flour, yeast, baking powder, eggs, milk and butter aren't expired. Freshness is key here. For example, good yeast creates that spongy texture we're after.

 

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another

Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir. This will help distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent overmixing.

 

Don’t over mix

Using your hand or an electric mixer, mix the dough just until the ingredients are fully combined--not a second longer! It's okay if it's a little lumpy.

 

The secret is in the egg whites! 

Yep, egg whites are THE determining factor here. To give your pancakes that fluffy text, beat only the egg whites for 3 minutes on medium speed. They'll start turning creamy, which means it's time to add them to the pancake mixture. Use a wooden spatula to incorporate everything.

 

There you have it! Now it's up to you to use our secrets to make your pancakes. This simple recipe takes a splash of Vainilla Molina and is ready in just 5 minutes! 

You can also double the batter, make your pancakes, freeze them and pop them in the microwave or toaster in the morning for a few seconds for a quick and delicious breakfast.

2 tbsp of sugar
