Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Servings: 6-8 pancakes
Necessary ingredients:
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 liter of milk
- 200 g sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons of orange essence (for an aromatic taste)
- Flour, as needed (about 200-250 g, for a thin batter)
- Oil (optional, but recommended 100 g in the batter)
- Finetti, for filling (or any other favorite sweet cream)
- Cherry jam (optional, for an extra flavor)
Chef's tip: Use free-range eggs for a richer taste and fresh milk for fluffier pancakes.
Preparing the batter:
1. Beat the eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, crack the two eggs and add the sugar. Use a whisk or electric mixer to combine the ingredients until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. This is the base for your pancakes.
2. Add milk and flavors: Gradually incorporate the milk, stirring continuously. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar, and orange essence. These will add a splendid flavor to your pancakes.
3. Integrate the dry ingredients: Start adding the flour gradually, mixing continuously. Also, add the baking powder dissolved in a few drops of lemon juice to activate the chemical reaction necessary for fluffy pancakes. Continue mixing until you achieve a fine and smooth batter, thinner than cake batter.
4. Incorporate the oil: If you choose to use oil in the batter, add it now. This will help achieve softer pancakes and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Cooking the pancakes:
5. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat. Let it heat up a bit, then add a splash of oil. It is important for the pan to be well heated to achieve an even browning.
6. Cook the pancakes: Use a ladle to pour the batter into the pan, forming pancakes of the desired size. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they become golden and fluffy. If you added oil to the batter, there is no need to add oil to the pan each time.
7. Repeat: Continue making pancakes until you finish all the batter. Place the cooked pancakes on a plate.
Filling and serving the pancakes:
8. Fill the pancakes: Once all the pancakes are cooked, take each pancake and spread it with Finetti. A delicious alternative is also cherry jam, which adds a fruity and sweet note.
9. Rolling the pancakes: Fold or roll the pancakes as preferred. If you want to save some, you can cut the pancakes in half so that nothing goes to waste.
Serving suggestions:
Pancakes with Finetti are excellent served warm, alongside a glass of cold milk or a cup of aromatic coffee. You can also decorate them with fresh fruits, toasted nuts, or a bit of whipped cream for an extra flavor.
Delicious variations:
- Chocolate pancakes: Add a few tablespoons of cocoa to the batter for chocolate-flavored pancakes.
- Vegan pancakes: Replace the eggs with 2 ripe bananas and use almond milk to create a delicious vegan version.
- Savory pancakes: Omit the sugar and fill the pancakes with cottage cheese and dill or smoked salmon for a savory option.
Nutritional benefits:
These pancakes are rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy. Eggs and milk contribute essential proteins, and adding fresh fruits will enrich them with vitamins and antioxidants.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour? Yes, whole wheat flour will provide a different texture and a more pronounced flavor, but you may need more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- How can I store pancakes? If you have leftover pancakes, you can store them in a closed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the pan or microwave.
