Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon for batter
- Non-stick frying pan or skillet
- Spatula for flipping pannekoek
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp butter unsalted melted and slightly cooled
Topping:
- 3-4 tablespoons sugar granulated
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large basin.
- Whisk the milk and eggs together in a small basin. Whisk in the flour gradually until no particles remain. Whisk in the butter that has been liquefied.
- Preheat a large skillet measuring 12 inches (30.5 centimeters) over medium-low heat. Add additional butter or oil to the grease pan.
- 1/4-1/3 cup (60-80 milliliters) of the batter should be poured into the pan's center. Immediately swirl the pan in a circular motion to create a thin layer on the bottom.
- Cook the opposite side once bubbles begin to form and the bottom begins to turn golden. Cook until golden, approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. Proceed using the remaining batter.
- Blend sugar and cinnamon in a small basin. Slightly squeeze lemon juice over the prepared crepe, then generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Continue rolling the remaining Pannekoeke. Serve without delay.
