Today we are going to share an appetizing recipe of pancakes for breakfast to serve your day with happiness. Innumerable recipes for pancakes can create a puzzling situation for a person. However, pancakes are very easy to make, but the hunt for the perfect pancake recipe can be a little hectic. So, relax. I am sharing below a quick and easy recipe for you to devour.
Ingredients
“Pancakes made from this recipe are not too sweet, but you can add nuts, raisins, berries, or semi-sweet or dark chocolate into the batter to add additional sweetness.”
1. All-purpose flour (Maida) — 1 ½ cups
2. Sugar — 2 tablespoons
3. Baking powder — 1 tablespoon
4. Salt — ½ teaspoon
5. Milk — 1 ¼ cups
6. Egg — 1 large
7. Unsalted or salted butter — 4 tablespoons plus additional butter for cooking
8. Vanilla extract — 1 teaspoon
SUBSTITUTION OF INGREDIENTS THAT YOU CAN DO:
1. Instead of using baking powder, you can use sour milk or buttermilk with ¾ teaspoon of baking soda. To make sour milk at home mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in 1 ¼ cup milk and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
2. You can use non-dairy or dairy milk.
3. Whole wheat flour can be used as a subsitiute of all-purpose flour. For that take equal amounts of whole wheat flour and buttermilk, i.e., 1 ½ cups, with ¾ teaspoon of baking soda replacing baking powder. This substitution is for those who have diabetes and for those who want to add additional fiber in their diet.
