American Pancakes

 Ingredients: 2 eggs, 300 ml cold milk, 1/2 packet baking powder, flour, oil, sour cherry jam

To prepare a delicious and quick breakfast, we start by gathering the necessary ingredients. You will need four fresh eggs, a cup of milk, 200 grams of flour, a packet of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These simple ingredients transform into a delicacy that you will enjoy with pleasure.

The first step is to break the eggs into a large bowl. Use a whisk or a fork to beat them vigorously together with a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes fluffy and homogeneous. Then, begin to gradually add the milk, continuing to stir to well integrate all the ingredients. The milk will give a creamy taste and a finer texture to the dish.

After you have obtained a uniform mixture, it is time to incorporate the flour. Before adding it, make sure it has been sifted together with the baking powder. This step is essential to avoid lumps and to ensure a fluffy texture. Gently mix until the flour is completely integrated, being careful not to overmix. The final consistency of the batter should be similar to that of sour cream, not too thick but not too runny either.

Next, prepare the pan. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil, enough to evenly cover the bottom. Once the oil is hot, pour in a ladleful of the prepared mixture. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to pull away slightly from the pan and bubbles appear on the surface, a sign that it is time to flip the pancake.

After flipping the pancake, let it cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it turns golden. Repeat the process until you finish all the mixture. In the end, you will have a series of fluffy, perfectly cooked pancakes that you can serve immediately.

To add a touch of flavor, I chose to serve them with cherry jam, but I encourage you to experiment with other toppings, such as honey, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or even yogurt. These pancakes are versatile and can be enjoyed both at breakfast and as a dessert. Enjoy your meal!
