Cherry Jam Pancakes Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 4 servings Who can resist a plate of fluffy pancakes served with cherry jam? This quick and simple dessert is perfect for a special breakfast or a sweet snack at any time of the day. In this recipe, I will guide you step by step in making the perfect pancakes that pair wonderfully with cherry jam, giving them a delicious taste and a touch of freshness. Ingredients: For pancakes: - 200 g wheat flour (you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option) - 2 large eggs - 300 ml milk (or plant-based milk if you prefer a lactose-free option) - 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness) - A pinch of salt - 1 tablespoon oil (plus extra oil for frying) For serving: - 250 g cherry jam (preferably homemade, but you can also use store-bought) Instructions: 1. Start by preparing the pancake batter. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a whisk or fork until frothy. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. 2. Sift the flour into another bowl, adding the sugar and salt. This step helps to homogenize the dry ingredients. Then, incorporate the egg and milk mixture, mixing well until you obtain a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk. 3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This step is essential as it helps the gluten relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes. 4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Use a measuring cup (about ¼ cup) to pour the batter into the skillet. Swirl the skillet to evenly distribute the batter. 5. Fry the pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip it with a spatula and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Continue this process until all the batter is used, adding oil to the skillet as needed. 6. Now that your pancakes are ready, it's time to serve them! Place two to three pancakes on a plate, add a generous spoonful of cherry jam on top, and if desired, you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Practical tips: - If you want to experiment, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract to the batter or lemon zest for extra flavor. - Instead of cherry jam, you can also use other types of jam, such as strawberry or raspberry, for a different variation. - For a fluffier texture, you can add a tablespoon of baking powder to the batter. Personal note: These pancakes go wonderfully with a serving of freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, turning them into an unforgettable dessert! Enjoy!
Preparation
Beat the eggs well; then add 2 tablespoons of sugar, the packet of vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a mixer and add the milk; then add enough flour so that the batter doesn't thicken (I used 9 tablespoons). Put very little oil (a few drops) in the pan and pour in a ladle of the mixture. The heat should be medium. I got 12 pancakes; if you want more, add 1 egg - 100 ml of milk.
