Pancake Recipe
Pancakes are one of the easiest and most loved breakfast recipes because of their soft texture, fluffy layers and delicious taste. A perfect Pancake Recipe should be light, airy, golden and slightly sweet. Moreover, pancakes pair beautifully with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits or chocolate sauce, making them a favorite for breakfast, brunch and weekend treats.
The secret to making perfectly fluffy pancakes is quality baking soda. Crait Cooking Baking Soda reacts during cooking to create tiny air pockets in the batter, resulting in soft, airy and evenly risen pancakes. Furthermore, it works alongside baking powder to produce café-style pancakes with a tender texture.
Available through CraitWorld, this premium cooking ingredient makes homemade pancakes soft, fluffy and delicious every time. Therefore, this Pancake Recipe is perfect for preparing a quick and satisfying breakfast at home.
Ingredients for Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Crait Cooking / Baking Soda (for extra fluffiness)
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Add all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and Crait Cooking Baking Soda to a mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly so they are evenly combined.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients
Add milk, egg (if using), vanilla essence and melted butter to the dry mixture.
Mix gently until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing, as this helps keep the pancakes soft and fluffy.
3. Rest the Batter
Allow the batter to rest for 5–10 minutes.
This important step allows the Crait Cooking Baking Soda to work effectively, giving the Pancake Recipe its light, airy and fluffy texture.
4. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary.
Pour small portions of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.
5. Serve Hot
Stack the freshly cooked pancakes on a serving plate.
Serve the Pancake Recipe warm with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits, butter, chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
