Original Flavour Pancake | MyKitchen101en
Yields: 10 pieces
Ingredients:
- 1 egg (grade A, room temperature)
- 3 tbsps fine granulated sugar
- 1/3 tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsps corn oil (or other vegetable oil)
- 250 ml milk
- 180 g plain flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
Instructions:
1 Combine egg, sugar and salt, then beat until thick.
2 Add in corn oil, beat until well combined.
3 Add in milk and mix well.
4 Mix together plain flour and baking powder, sieve in and mix until well blended.
5 Check consistency of the batter: If it is slightly thin, add in some extra flour; If it is slightly thick, add in some extra water, until it reaches the correct consistency (please refer video). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
6 Preheat cooking pan, turn to medium heat, add in a little bit of oil, wipe with kitchen towels until no oil drops are seen (only 1 time).
7 Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into pan, reduce to medium-low heat.
8 Cook until the bottom part is lightly brown with lots of holes on upper part.
9 Turn over the pancake, increase to medium heat, continue cooking until the bottom is fully cooked.
10 Remove from pan when both sides are cooked.
11 Repeat steps: Pour in batter, reduce to medium-low heat, cook until bottom is lightly brown; Turn over, increase to medium heat, cook until bottom is fully cooked.
Reminder:
1 Mix the batter until just combined, do not overmix to avoid activating the gluten.
2 Different brand of plain flour absorbs water differently, the thickness of batter made according to the above recipe might be different and you need to make some adjustment accordingly.
3 Just coat the cooking pan with a very thin layer of oil, if there is too much oil, the surface of pancakes will not look nice (You may skip this step if using non-stick pan).
4 The surface of first pancake is usually not that beautiful (the surface of pan has more oil), the following pancakes will have no problem.
