Tips to obtain delicious pancakes

   Do not over beat the dough. We only beat the batter so that all the ingredients are well integrated. Once they are integrated and without lumps, do not continue beating, you could make your pancakes look like chewing gum.

   Make the batter just before making your pancakes. So that the yeast does not lose its qualities, do not make the batter too long before you are going to cook the pancakes, as it will lose its effect. Let it rest for only 5 minutes, so that it settles and the pancakes are super fluffy.

    When it is time to cook them, use a ladle so that they all have the same amount of batter and are exactly the same. And pour the batter without moving your hand or spread it around the pan, but in a single point, which will be the center of our pancake.

    This way the presentation of your pancakes will be perfect. Remember that we eat for eyes, if it is beautiful, it will be more pleasing.

    So that the first pancakes do not freeze while you finish with the remaining dough, make them in a large frying pan or on a griddle. This way you can make several at once. Because making one pancake per batch… and more if you are many people, is very tedious, and the first dishes will be cold.

Enjoy your meal!
