Pancake Recipes for Every Occasion
The traditional recipe for Breton pancakes If you want to respect traditions, you need the right ingredients. For about 15 thin pancakes, here’s what you need:
- 250g of wheat flour
- 4 eggs
- 500ml of milk
- 50g of melted butter
- 1 pinch of salt
Chef’s tip: let your batter rest for at least an hour so the flavors develop and your pancakes turn out nice and soft. And to avoid lumps? Sift your flour before mixing.
Gluten-free pancakes are possible Don’t panic if you have an intolerance or just want to try a lighter version. Replace regular flour with a gluten-free mix or rice flour. A bit of psyllium can help regain the elasticity we love so much.
Secrets for Perfect Pancakes
Master the cooking It all starts with a good pan. Ideally, a well-heated non-stick crepe pan (but not too hot, okay!). Lightly oil the surface with a paper towel to avoid excess grease. A ladle of evenly spread batter, and voilà! Cook each side for about 1 minute.
Avoid common mistakes
- Your batter sticks? Check the pan temperature.
- Your pancakes are thick? Your batter may be too dense, add a bit of milk.
- They break? An additional egg can often solve the problem.
Delicious Toppings for Every Craving
Sweet or savory, it’s up to you
- Classic sweet toppings: sugar and lemon, jam, chocolate spread, or even fresh fruit.
- Savory version: ham-cheese-egg, grilled vegetables, or a combo of smoked salmon and sour cream.
A piece of advice? Treat yourself! Pancakes are all about tastes and desires. Experiment and have fun with combinations.
