You need some smetana and verenye for those pancakes

[Anonymous No.15635571]

One cup of flour, two cups of milk, three large or four small eggs, three or four generous pinches of salt. I also like to add a heaped tbsp of sugar for better browning.

One reason why your pancakes dont look so great may be your pan. cast iron or carbon steel give deliver much bettter results for frying at high heat because they give off much more infrared radiation than other stuff.

Just needs more heat. Maybe make more smaller ones as well.

You need more heat. Replacing some of the liquid with sparkling water at the last minute will give you more bubbles and better texture.

this is a french crepe, not a thick americca pancake

[Anonymous No.15636512]

Your batter either lacked flour, didn't have enough baking soda/powder in it, and/or you didn't let the batter rest for a bit before cooking.

Waffles > pancakes

That must be really thin.

I use:
1 cup of flour
1.5 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt

1 egg
4/5 cup of milk
0.25 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon melted butter

mix wet and dry separately and then add wet to dry and mix, but not too much. it doesn't hurt it if it has a few small pockets of dry that didn't get mixed in.

The pancakes generally come out quite good and thick.

OP's "pancakes" don't look like they have any thickness at all. He probably uses way to much milk in his.

This is exactly what I mean here >>15635367

Americans associate pancakes with those thick round fluffy cakes they cook in pans and douse in corn syrup.

The rest of the world associates pancakes with something akin to what the French call crêpes.

Here's a recipe:

>All-purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
>Milk - 1 cup
>Eggs - 2
>Oil - 4 table spoons
>Salt - 1/2 tea spoon

No Americans had posted, you obsessed faggot. Stop seething while watching Denny's commercials, it's just restaurant fare. Being different from what you cook at home is the point, just calm down

Too much grease in the pan.
You want as little fat in the pan as possible

If pancakes were made to be thin, they would be called something like panthins, not pancakes.

Besides, what self respecting rancher would eat his calf fries for breakfast with wimply little pieces of dainty crepes?

bullshit. use butter for every pancake, it's part of the flavour.

do yourself a favor and spend $20-$30 on a wafflemaker. waffles are literally retard proof

>>15637734 (me)

I've thought about adding chopped pecans to my pancakes but for some reason I never think about it until I already have them cooked.

What would be the best way to do it?

1) Just chop them up and mix in with the batter?

2) Chop them up and sprinkle on top of the pancake when first dded to the pan?

Would it be better to toast the pecan pieces first?

You can mix melted butter with the eggs if you're that desperate for butter flavor.
