Pancakes Are My Enemy


No matter how many times I tried making them, I can never cook them just right.

I always try using different recipes, make sure all of my ingredients are of the same room temperature, I experiment with different cookware and they always end up not looking as nice as the ones you'd get at a restaurant.

I'm going to share a recipe I used to make them today, feel free to give me some tips and guides! I really would like to be able to make decent pancakes at home for once. Thanks :)

So here goes the recipe I used:

  • 200 ml milk;
  • 125 g flour;
  • 2 tb. spoons butter;
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder;
  • half of a teaspoon vanilla extract;
  • 2 tb. spoons sugar;
  • 1 egg;
  • a handful of chocolate chips;
  • a pinch of salt.

Directions:

Whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla extract and salt until fluffy, add in the milk, melted butter, stir, now add in the rest of the ingredients - sift the flour in, baking powder. Whisk well. Preheat your skillet on a medium heat, pour a small amount of batter onto the pan, approximately 40-50 ml, when you start noticing the batter bubble up, turn the pancake over and cook on the other side.

Okay, now this is what I got, even though I precisely followed the recommendations, for some reason my pancakes always get a little too charred on the edges, who can tell me why?


Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I used some banana for garnish and poured a little bit of maple syrup over the pancakes



I tried to take nice photos of these ugly pancakes for you guys, since I am also trying to learn more about photography and finally be able to feel confident with a camera.
Anyways, comment, discuss, help me to get better!
