Recipe for classic pancakes
The typical German pancakes are baked in a round, preferably cast-iron or coated pan. Since the pancake batter is liquid, the size of the pancake depends on the diameter of the pan used. The classic pancakes are eaten with a sweet filling, such as Nutella, honey, jam, maple syrup orapplesauce, that's why the pancake batter is sweet. You can prepare these egg tarts using the following recipe.
Ingredients:
- 4 Owner
- 200 g Flour
- 400 ml whole milk, cold
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Oil or butter for frying
preparation:
Put eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat until creamy. Mix the resulting mixture with the milk. Then add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix everything well with the mixer so that the dough becomes smooth and homogeneous. To make the pancakes extremely tasty and airy, you should let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes, then stir again and only then bake the pancakes. Now heat the coated pan over medium heat, grease it, add a full ladle of dough and spread it well into the pan. When small bubbles form, flip the pancake to cook the other side. When it turns golden brown, the pancake is ready. Repeat these steps with the rest of the dough. Stack the finished pancakes on a plate to keep them warm longer and serve with fillings and toppings of your choice.
American pancakes recipe
When it comes to pancake batter recipes, you shouldn't ignore American pancakes. The pancakes from America are usually much smaller than the German ones, but thicker. This is due to the lower amount of milk in the pancake batter recipe. In contrast to pancakes, they are not filled with a sweet filling and rolled up, but rather stacked on top of each other and usually drizzled with honey, maple syrup or chocolate. If you want to try the airy pancakes yourself at home, you will find a simple recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 3 Owner
- 200 g Flour
- 150 ml whole milk, cold
- 200 ml natural yogurt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Oil or butter for frying
preparation:
When preparing the pancake batter recipes, you can follow the same order as the pancake batter. However, if you want to bake particularly airy pancakes, you should first separate the eggs and beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff. In the other bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, add the milk and natural yogurt and stir. Now stir in a pinch of salt, the flour and baking powder and finally stir in the beaten egg white. In this case, too, let the pancake batter rest for 15-20 minutes and then prepare the pan. Since the dough becomes thicker in this case, it cannot be spread into the entire pan. Instead, put a dollop of batter into the pan with a ladle, wait until the bubbles form and turn the pancake. If you use a larger pan, you can even cook several pancakes at the same time.
There are even special pans on the market in which you can bake several pancakes at the same time, all of the same size. You can refine the juicy pancakes with fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries. You can also add these to the dough and prepare a delicious variation of the classic recipe. Since these pancakes are not eaten individually, but in stacks, about 4 to 6 pancakes are suitable per serving.

That's why we would like to introduce you to a simple recipe for delicious crepes that you can try yourself at home. These egg tarts are usually thinner than the other two variants and are baked on a crêpière in restaurants. If you want to make crepes yourself, you can also use a simple pan. However, it is recommended to use a shallow pan to make turning the pancakes easier. Unlike pancakes, the crepe is not served rolled, but folded into a triangular shape together with the filling.

- 200 ml milk, cold
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 pinch of salt

Then brush the pan with a little oil and place on medium heat. Pour a ladleful of pancake batter into the pan so that it covers the entire bottom. Let it bake briefly, then carefully turn the crepe over and bake the bottom side for half a minute. Please note that the crepes should generally be thinner than the pancakes. Keep making these until you use up all the dough.
