How to prepare delicious pancakes
- If you are sure to fill the pancakes with a sweet filling, then you can add one tablespoon of sugar. But be aware that such a batter will turn golden faster, but it will also burn more easily.
- If you are going to make pancakes with a salty filling, then you can prepare them in salted butter, or you can add a pinch of salts more or you can add herbs to it.
- Pancakes can also be prepared in lard or oil or on non-stick pans completely fat-free. But remember that the butter gives them the true "French crepes" taste.
- Use clarified butter, as it does not burn, unlike regular butter.
- It is said that the first pancake never goes wrong, it burns or tears when flipped. Often this is due to the pan not being hot enough. This can be avoided by using a little more fat for the first frying. But then the pancake will be too greasy, so again not ideal. So don't make a wrinkle out of the first pancake, but if the second one tears and you can't flip it, then the problem is probably the consistency of the batter, so try to save it by adding an egg.
- If you like extra thin pancakes, add a little more milk to the batter than the recipe calls for.
- If you have made more pancakes than you use, put them in the plate, let them cool, cover and store in the fridge. They will keep for up to 3 days. The finished pancakes can also be frozen.
