Grandma's pancake recipe – the secret behind the classic
Our recipe of the day from September 20th is pancakes according to Grandma's recipe – this is how pancakes are made that taste like childhood and Sunday mornings.
The difference to many other pancake recipes lies in the egg whites: they are beaten separately until stiff and only then carefully folded into the egg yolk-milk-flour mixture. This gives the batter a light, almost foamy texture, which ensures particularly tender, fluffy pancakes when cooked. It's best to pour the finished batter into a jug – this makes it much easier to measure out into the pan later.
The pan should be evenly hot before adding the first portion of butter. A small amount of batter is sufficient – swirling the pan will spread it to the edges. Each side needs about a minute to become golden brown. Add a little more butter between each pancake.
Pancakes according to Grandma's recipe
This recipe makes four servings and is ready in 15 minutes. The pancakes go well with applesauce, jam, sugar and cinnamon, or with savory fillings – this recipe is the basis for everything.
