Ingredients needed
- 500 ml milk: Choose fresh milk for a rich taste. Whole milk will add creaminess to the pancakes.
- 5 eggs: Fresh eggs will make the batter fluffier.
- 100 g starch: The starch will provide a soft and fluffy texture to the pancakes.
- 300 g pastry flour: This is key to achieving a fine consistency.
- 3 tablespoons vanilla powdered sugar: Vanilla sugar adds an extra flavor. You can also use regular sugar, but the vanilla flavor will make a difference.
- 50 g butter (melted): The butter will enrich the taste of the pancakes and make them more tender.
- Bourbon vanilla: A vanilla pod or vanilla essence will give them a special aroma.
- One teaspoon baking powder: This will help the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
- Organic orange zest: This adds a fresh fragrance and a citrus note.
- Oil for frying: It can be oil or butter, depending on your preference, to achieve a nice crust.
Step by step: Preparing the pancakes
1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, crack the 5 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk the eggs for 30 seconds until frothy. This step is essential for getting airy pancakes.
2. Adding the ingredients: While continuing to whisk, add the vanilla powdered sugar, vanilla, orange zest, half of the milk, starch, flour, and baking powder. Mix well until a smooth paste forms.
3. Finalizing the batter: Incorporate the other half of the milk and the melted butter. The batter should be fluid and easy to pour, without lumps.
4. Frying the pancakes: In a non-stick pan, add a splash of oil or butter and heat well. Pour a portion of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Fry the pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up.
Fillings and serving
These pancakes are extremely versatile and can be filled with a variety of delicious ingredients. We chose:
- Strawberry jam: A classic and beloved choice.
- Rosehip jam: A less common option but extremely flavorful.
- Apricot jam: A perfect combination of sweet and tangy.
- Nutella: For chocolate lovers, this is the ideal choice.
For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle some grated coconut or sliced almonds on top of the filled pancakes.
Helpful tip
To achieve perfect pancakes, make sure the pan is well heated before pouring the batter. If the pan is too cold, the pancakes will stick. Also, remember to use a ladle to pour the batter to get evenly sized pancakes.
Nutritional benefits
These pancakes are rich in protein due to the eggs and contain carbohydrates from the flour, providing energy throughout the day. Adding orange zest not only enhances the flavor but also brings a splash of vitamin C.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, but the pancakes will have a different texture. Whole wheat flour will make them denser, but it is a healthy choice.
2. How can I store the pancakes?
They can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or in a pan.
3. Can I freeze the pancakes?
Yes, pancakes can be frozen. Place them in a freezer bag, separating them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Possible variations
- Gluten-free pancakes: You can replace the pastry flour with a combination of rice flour and almond flour.
- Vegan pancakes: Replace the eggs with 100 g of banana puree or 200 ml of plant-based milk.
These delicious pancakes with love are a simple and quick recipe, full of memories and emotions. Each bite will warm your heart and bring smiles. So, don't hesitate to prepare them and bring joy to your family!
