Basic Pancakes (Czech Palačinky)
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing the batter
- 1
For the basic pancakes, sift the flour into a bowl, add the sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt, then briefly mix.
- 2
Whisk the eggs with part of the milk, pour into the flour and whisk into a smooth batter without lumps. Then gradually whisk in the rest of the milk to make a thinner pourable batter.
Resting the batter
- 3
Let the finished batter rest for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature so the flour swells and the pancakes turn out soft and flexible.
Frying
- 4
Grease the pan with a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Ladle a thin layer of batter onto the pan and swirl it evenly across the whole base.
- 5
Fry for about a minute until the underside turns golden, then flip the pancake and fry the other side too. Stack the finished ones on a plate and repeat until you use up the batter.
More tips:
Let the batter rest for a while so the gluten relaxes and the pancakes turn out softer and more flexible.
The first pancake is usually a tester, use it to adjust the pan temperature and the batter thickness.
