Pancakes are thin, delicate crepes that can be topped with sweet or savory ingredients, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. This simple recipe guarantees light pancakes every time!
French cuisine
ingredients
For the pancake batter:
1 cup (125 g)
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) of milk
2 tablespoons of melted butter or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of caster sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
Optional toppings and garnishes:
Nutella, chocolate spread or caramel
Fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas or blueberries
whipped cream
icing sugar
Cheese, ham or sautéed vegetables for savory crepes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the pancake batter
In a bowl, mix the flour and salt (and sugar if you are making sweet crepes).
Dairy products and eggs
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into it.
Gradually incorporate the milk while beating, starting from the center and incorporating the flour little by little to avoid lumps.
Stir in the melted butter or oil and vanilla extract (optional). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature for soft crepes.
Step 2: Cook the crepes
Heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
Pour a tablespoon of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the center of the pan, tilting and rotating the pan to spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer.
French cuisine
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges are slightly raised and the bottom is golden brown. Gently flip the pancake with a spatula and continue cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Place the cooked crepe on a plate and repeat the process with the rest of the batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other.
Step 3: Serve
Top or spread the crepes with your favorite ingredients, such as Nutella, fresh fruit, or cheese.
Roll, fold or stack the crepes and decorate them with icing sugar or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.

Tips for perfect pancakes
Whisk constantly: if the batter is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon of milk at a time until you get a smooth consistency.
Use the appropriate pan: a non-stick pan or a crepe pan ensures easy turning and even cooking.
Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest allows the gluten to relax, resulting in soft pancakes.
Keep warm: Keep the cooked pancakes warm by covering them with a clean cloth while you prepare the rest.

VARIATIONS:

Cheddar cheese: Stir grated cheddar into ground beef for a cheesy touch. You can also sprinkle it over cooked steaks and let the cheese melt.
Spicy version: Add chopped jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the meat mixture for a spicy version.
Herb seasoning: Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley in the beef mix for a fresh flavor.
Balsamic glaze: Drizzle cooked steaks with a little balsamic glaze for a sweet and sour touch.
Adding vegetables: Incorporate finely chopped vegetables, such as peppers or carrots, into the beef mixture for added nutrition and flavor.

Cooking and recipes
Allow to cool completely: Let the crepes cool completely to room temperature before storing them. This prevents condensation, which could make them soggy.
Insert parchment paper: place a sheet of parchment paper between each crepe to prevent them from sticking together.
Pack them tightly: stack the crepes and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep them fresh.
Refrigeration: Keep the wrapped crepes in the refrigerator if you plan to use them within the next few days (up to 3 or 4 days).
Freezing: For longer storage, place the wrapped crepes in a freezer bag or container and freeze them. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat them, simply heat them in a pan over low heat or in the microwave for a few seconds until they are piping hot.
This way, you can enjoy the crepes later without them losing their texture or flavor!
