Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6
Necessary ingredients
- 750 ml water
- 50 ml oil (preferably sunflower or olive oil)
- Flour (between 10-15 tablespoons, depending on the desired consistency)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- Grated zest of one orange (optional, for extra flavor)
- Cherry jam (about 200-300 g, preferably homemade)
- A pinch of salt
Step by step for a perfect result
1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, add the 750 ml of water. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, then add the baking powder and vanilla sugar. Mix well with a whisk to ensure all ingredients are combined.
2. Incorporating the flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing continuously. It is important to achieve a fluid batter, but not too runny. The ideal consistency allows the pancakes to spread easily in the pan but not be too thin.
3. Adding the oil: Once the batter is well combined, add the 50 ml of oil. This will help achieve softer and more flavorful pancakes. If desired, you can also add the grated orange zest for a touch of freshness.
4. Resting the batter: Although it is not a mandatory step, it is recommended to let the batter rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. This will help the gluten in the flour relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
5. Heating the pan: While the batter rests, place a non-stick pan (preferably Teflon) over medium heat. It is important that the pan is well heated before adding the batter to achieve a golden and crispy crust.
6. Baking the pancakes: Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan, in a suitable amount to obtain thin pancakes. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until the edges start to lift slightly. Use a spatula to flip the pancake to the other side and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7. Filling the pancakes: Once the pancakes are ready, remove them from the pan and fill them with cherry jam. You can add a generous amount to enjoy every bite. Then, fold or roll them up, depending on your preference.
8. Serving and decorating: The pancakes can be decorated with a little powdered sugar or a few fresh cherries for a more attractive appearance. Served warm, they are a delight!

- The jam: If you don't have cherry jam, you can use any other type of jam or preserve you prefer. For example, strawberry or peach jam can be an excellent choice.
- Additions: You can also experiment with various flavors by adding cinnamon or rum essence to the batter.
- Alternative desserts: These pancakes can also be served with chocolate sauce or Greek yogurt for an extra creaminess.
