The main SECRET of Perfect French Pancakes is to mix all the ingredients correctly!
Hey there, today I’ve got a fantastic old-school recipe for French pancakes that’s sure to impress. Start by combining 8 ounces (225 grams) of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a little well in the mix, then crack in 3 eggs.
Now comes the secret: slowly add 17 fluid ounces (500 ml) of warm milk, whisking gently as you go. It’s crucial to pour the milk gradually to avoid any lumps in the batter. Once half the milk’s in, whisk it all together, then pour in the rest.
Next, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add that to the batter along with a hint of vanilla. Keep whisking until everything’s smooth.
When your batter’s lump-free and beautiful, heat up the skillet and pour in just enough to make a thin pancake. Once it’s matte on one side, flip it for another 30 seconds or so.
These pancakes are incredible for stuffing with all sorts of goodness—meat, cheese, you name it!
