We don't do pancakes in France, because we have nice crepes already. Now that I am living in the UK, I am still making French crepes, but also trying out the thick small spongy version of it - aka pancake. Most of the recipes use buttermilk, which implies some sort of planning as I don't routinely have that in my fridge.
My sister recently revealed me that buttermilk could be swapped by yoghurt + milk and gave me an amazing recipe that cannot go wrong!
The recipe is for 12 pancakes (4 hungry people).
Mix the liquid ingredients: 2 eggs with a total of 250g yoghurt + milk. In another bowl, mix the solid ingredients: 200 self-raising flour, salt and 50g sugar. Then mix solids and liquids, without insisting. Leave to rest for 15 minutes. The mix is thick and bubbly.
Cook for a couple of minutes until bubbles appear at the surface, then flip over. The pancakes raises immediately.
Check out how fluffy, light and airy they are! |
They are perfect with the usual bacon and maple syrup... |
...As well as with red fruits and chocolate sauce. |
