Pancakes are one of the very common US dishes, also called American pancakes. You can cook them with water, sour milk and, of course, kefir. In general, on everything that can be used to cook our Russian products. The difference between them and their Russian counterparts is that they are much more fluffy and small in size - slightly larger than our pancakes. That is, they are like big pancakes, but with a pancake taste.
The dough for their preparation is mainly pancake dough, only much thicker. Their shape is round, the diameter is 12-14 cm. The thickness reaches a centimeter or even more. This makes it easy and simple to turn them over and remove them from the pan, provided, of course, that the dough is mixed correctly.
You need to bake fluffy pancakes in a frying pan with a thick bottom, or you can use a pancake maker with low sides. In such dishes, the products will turn out not only lush, but also ruddy and beautiful. You should not add berries and fruits to the dough when kneading. In the absence of experience, the products may burn, which of course will not make anyone happy.
You can serve ready-made pancakes with various fruits, berries, syrup, condensed milk, jam and chocolate. This is a great option for a snack or breakfast.
Pancakes with milk - a classic step-by-step recipe
Many will probably agree that any pancakes are a delicious and complete breakfast. Of course, unlike omelettes or scrambled eggs, they are a little more difficult to prepare, but the family always welcomes them with great enthusiasm. And who ever bothered with diversity?
Let's look at the most classic recipe.
Ingredients:
- egg 2 pcs.
- sugar 2-3 tbsp. l.
- milk 1 glass
- premium flour 1.5 cup (possibly a little more)
- salt a pinch
- baking powder 1 tsp.
- sunflower oil 2 tbsp.
- vanillin on the tip of a knife
Cooking method:
Let's prepare all the necessary ingredients so that we have everything at hand and don't forget anything during the cooking process.
First, mix all the dry products. Sift the flour so that it is enriched with oxygen. This should always be done, and then the baked goods would always be fluffy, and most importantly, tender and tasty.
Then add salt, sugar, baking powder, vanillin and mix so that the ingredients combine with each other.
In a separate bowl, mix the liquid ingredients: eggs, butter and milk. In this case, milk should be added in small parts. It is advisable that it be slightly warmed, or at least at room temperature. By the way, it is also advisable to remove eggs from the refrigerator in advance.
Products at room temperature or slightly warm interact better with each other, and the dough becomes more flexible and tender.
This means that the finished products will turn out more tender and tasty.
The next step is to combine both mixtures and mix everything thoroughly. To do this, you can use either a whisk or a mixer. The dough should be homogeneous, without lumps. The consistency should be a little thinner than that of pancakes.
Let the dough sit for a while so that all the ingredients disperse and the flour becomes more sticky.
Prepare a non-stick frying pan and heat it well over the fire. Pour about half a ladle of mixed dough onto the heated surface and wait for bubbles to appear. We immediately set the desired size, remembering that these are small and fluffy pancakes.
As soon as the bubbles cover the entire product and there is no batter left on it, turn it over. Fry on the other side for about 20-30 seconds. Both sides should turn out rosy and appetizing.
Watch the fire and the product itself. It should bake well and still have a nice color. During the baking process, adjust the intensity of the burner.
The finished product should be no thinner than 5-6 mm. and look plump and appetizing.
Fluffy, tender and easy to prepare pancakes are ready! Pour syrup, honey or condensed milk over them and your breakfast is ready!

Video on how to make perfect American pancakes
And here is another recipe, where we also prepare the dough in milk. All the small pancakes turn out moderately fluffy, perfectly baked inside. Thanks to this, the dough turns out porous, with a lot of holes.
This allows them to be perfectly soaked in honey or maple syrup, which is what these products are usually served with in their homeland in America.
They turn out moderately sweet, since they added very little sugar. And there’s nothing more to it. Everyone will add the right amount for themselves in the form of any sweet additive. Or maybe someone will want to eat a pancake simply with sour cream or yogurt.
Friends, we recorded this video specifically for our blog and this article. Look, we have a lot of interesting recipes that deserve attention.
I invite you to join us on the YouTube channel.

The history of pancakes
Unfortunately, the story of the first pancake recipe has not survived to this day. It is only known that migrants from Scotland were the first to bake such pancakes in America. But the Americans are responsible for the invention of a special frying pan for baking pancakes. The main distinguishing feature of these pancakes is that they are baked in a frying pan without a drop of oil. This is why pancakes turn out to be less fatty than, for example, our pancakes or pancakes. This has become the reason for the popularity of pancakes recently in our country.
