Hotcake Batter Ingredients- 1 fresh egg
- 1 cup milk (using a paper cup for measurement)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, reduce to half a tablespoon if you prefer less sweetness)
- 2 cups hotcake mix (using a paper cup for measurement)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)
Serving Suggestions- 2 fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- 1 bowl of plain yogurt (to taste)
- 2 fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- 1 bowl of plain yogurt (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 1 fresh egg into a large bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat the egg until the yolk and white are well combined.
Step 2
Once the egg is sufficiently beaten, slowly pour in 1 cup of milk, measured using a paper cup. Stir gently to combine without any lumps.
Step 3
If you’d like to add a touch of aroma to your batter, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. (This step is optional, but it adds a richer fragrance.)
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, measured with a regular spoon. If you prefer a less sweet taste, reduce the sugar to half a tablespoon to adjust to your liking.
Step 5
Now, add 2 cups of hotcake mix, measured with a paper cup, to the batter. Sifting the mix into the batter can help create a smoother hotcake.
Step 6
Using a spatula or whisk, mix the batter until it’s smooth and free of lumps. Avoid overmixing; just blend until the flour is incorporated for a tender texture. (The size of the ladle doesn’t matter; the important thing is the batter’s consistency, which should be pourable.)
Step 7
Preheat your frying pan over medium-low heat. If the pan is too hot, the hotcakes can burn easily, so gentle heating is recommended.
Step 8
Once the pan is heated, ladle your desired amount of batter onto the pan for each hotcake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until bubbles start to appear on the surface and pop.
Step 9
When you see small bubbles forming and popping on the surface of the hotcake, carefully flip it with a spatula. Cook the other side for a similar amount of time until golden brown.
Step 10
Once both sides are beautifully golden brown, carefully transfer the finished hotcakes to a plate. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a dollop of plain yogurt for a delicious and attractive presentation. Enjoy!
