The Perfect Kids’ Snack! Making Deliciously Sweet Hotcakes
It might feel daunting to cook over a hot stove in this sweltering weather, but these sweet hotcakes were made with my children’s cravings in mind. Their fluffy texture and sweet taste are a delight for kids and adults alike. Enjoy café-worthy hotcakes right at home with simple ingredients!
Essential Ingredients
- 1 pouch Hotcake Mix (approx. 150-200g)
- 1 Egg (room temperature)
- 30ml Milk (or water)
- A little Butter (for greasing the pan)
- 3 Tbsp Oligosaccharide or Maple Syrup (or to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’m sharing a simple and delicious hotcake recipe that anyone can make at home. It’s a wonderfully sweet snack that kids absolutely adore.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the hotcake batter. Crack 1 egg into a bowl, add 30ml of milk and the entire pouch of hotcake mix.
Step 3
Using a whisk or a fork, mix everything together until no dry flour is visible. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until the streaks of flour disappear. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will contribute to a fluffier texture.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter, then use a paper towel to wipe the surface, leaving just a very thin film of oil. This prevents the hotcakes from burning and ensures even cooking. Pour your batter onto the pan using a ladle to create your desired size. Reduce the heat to low and cook slowly, ensuring the inside cooks through without burning.
Step 5
When small bubbles start to form and appear on the surface of the batter, it’s time to flip. As soon as these bubbles begin to pop and create small holes, carefully flip the hotcake with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Arrange the beautifully cooked hotcakes on a plate. While they are still warm, generously drizzle with oligosaccharide or maple syrup. For an extra special treat, you can add fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce according to your preference.
Step 7
The sweet syrup seeps into the hotcakes, making them look even more appetizing. They are delicious as is, but adding some fruit provides a refreshing contrast that balances the sweetness perfectly.
Step 8
Enjoy a sweet time with your delicious homemade hotcakes! This recipe is perfect for beating the heat and creating a fun snack time. It’s an ideal treat for the whole family to enjoy together.
