📜 Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups cake flour (for extra softness)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
🧑🍳 Instructions & Method
- Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together water, milk, eggs, canola oil, and vinegar until fully combined. - Sift Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a lump-free batter and proper rising. - Combine & Rest
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes — this helps the gluten relax and ensures fluffier pancakes. - Preheat Griddle or Pan
Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of oil or butter. - Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden. - Serve Warm
Stack them up high, drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or fruit compote. Add a touch of butter, whipped cream, or nuts for extra flair!
🕰️ Formation Tips
- Vinegar’s Role: Reacts with baking powder to produce gas bubbles, making pancakes ultra-fluffy.
- Cake Flour: Lower protein content than all-purpose flour makes the texture lighter and more tender.
- Resting the Batter: Allows air to incorporate, leading to softer pancakes.
📜 History of Pancakes
Pancakes have been a beloved dish since ancient times — from the Greek tagenites to the Roman alia dulcia. Nearly every culture has its version: French crêpes, Russian blinis, Ethiopian injera, or American pancakes. The use of leavening agents like baking powder only became popular in the 19th century, revolutionizing how soft and fluffy pancakes could be.
