Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters milk
- 3 pieces eggs
- 25 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 30 grams butter (for frying)
- powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- fresh fruits or jam (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate. This helps achieve a smoother consistency.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter (around 5 grams) to coat the surface.
Pour a ladleful of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the pan, gently swirling to spread it out evenly into a thin layer.
Cook the Pfannekuchen for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked Pfannekuchen to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the Pfannekuchens warm, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with fresh fruits, jam, or your favorite syrup. Roll them up or fold them as desired before serving.
