Making pancakes is so easy that even a child can do it. At least in theory. In practice, they often don't come out as we would like. The addition of a certain creamy ingredient will make them, after frying, just like French crêpes.

As many homes, as many pancake recipes. Some of us indulge in fluffy, thick and very fluffy pancakes, reminiscent of those used to prepare croquettes, while others fry those as thin as paper. It must be admitted, preparing such thin and flexible pancakes is quite an art.

Contrary to appearances, it does not require any culinary skills. If you dream of thin pancakes, but the ones you usually fry turn out rubbery, take advantage of the recipe below. The addition of a certain cream cream will make them incredibly delicate.

How to fry pancakes so they don't fall apart?

Preparing any kind of pancake batter is incredibly simple. The problem starts during frying, when the batter doesn't want to come off the pan or completely "falls apart," resembling unappetizing mash rather than a real pancake. This can be avoided by sticking to two rules.

The first rule concerns the pan itself. It should be smooth and covered with a special coating to prevent sticking. This is a key issue. The second rule pertains to the moment when we pour the batter. The pan should be as hot as possible. After pouring the first ladleful, the heat should be reduced. By adhering to these two rules, you will avoid problems with frying.

The most delicate pancakes in the world — recipe

Ingredients:

  • a cup of flour,
  • half a cup of milk,

Preparation:

  1. Prepare a large bowl. Sift all the flour into it.
  2. Add milk, mascarpone, salt, oil or butter, egg, a pinch of salt, and vanilla sugar. Mix everything into a smooth batter.
