Tip: how to make the perfect American pancakes
American pancakes look so simple, but getting them perfectly fluffy isn’t quite as easy as it seems. At least, that’s what we thought until we came across this great technique. And yes, it works!
That air doesn’t just get into your pancake by itself, of course. With Dutch crêpes, you can simply mix all the ingredients and pour the batter into the pan, but American pancakes are a little different. For the fluffiest version, beat the egg white separately and fold it into the batter at the very end.
How to fold egg whites into your batter
Separate the egg white from the yolk. Add the yolk to the rest of the batter and beat the egg white until soft, white peaks form. First, fold a small portion of the egg white into the batter, gently mixing it through. Now add the rest of the egg white and fold until you have a homogeneous mixture. Cook the pancakes as you normally would and voilà: enjoy your perfectly fluffy American pancakes.
