Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, crack the 3 eggs.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until it becomes frothy and well combined.

Step 2

Mix in the Milk

Gradually pour in 2 cups of warm milk while mixing continuously.

Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps before proceeding.

Step 3

Incorporate the Flour

Sift 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour into the egg and milk mixture.

Mix thoroughly to avoid any clumps; this will create a smooth batter.

Step 4

Add Boiling Water

Slowly stream in 1 cup of boiling water into the batter, stirring constantly to maintain a homogeneous mixture.

This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture in your pancakes.

Step 5

Finalize the Batter

Stir in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix well once more.

Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow gluten to develop.

Step 6

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. For the first pancake, lightly grease the pan.

Pour half of a ladle of batter into the skillet and spread it out evenly.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip using a silicone spatula or your hands, ensuring you let it cook through.

Step 7

Troubleshooting

If the pancakes tear, simply add a couple of tablespoons of flour and let the batter rest for an additional 10 minutes.

With practice, cooking these pancakes can become easy and fun!

Faq

  • What if my pancake batter is too thick?

    If your batter seems too thick, simply add a little more warm milk until it reaches a smoother, pourable consistency!

  • How do I know when to flip the pancakes?

    Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake. Once they start to pop, it’s time to flip!

  • How can I make my pancakes even fluffier?

    Try using buttermilk instead of regular milk for a fluffier texture. Also, don't over-mix; a few lumps are okay!

  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance, but be sure to give it a gentle stir before using, as it may thicken slightly.

  • What's the best way to store leftover pancakes?

    Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for a quick breakfast option later!

  • How do I get perfect pancake shapes?

    Pour the batter in a circular motion from a measuring cup or a squeeze bottle. This helps maintain their nice, round shape!
