Simple Ingredients, Big Café-Style Results

The best part? No exotic products or complicated techniques here. Everything is easy to find, affordable, and delicious.

Ingredients (for 12 medium-sized pancakes):

• 200 g cake flour

• 1 sachet of baking powder (like Royal or similar)

• 50 g sunflower oil

• 30 g sugar

• 300 g whole milk

• 2 eggs

• Butter (for greasing the pan)

Topping ideas: whipped cream, melted chocolate, caramel sauce, jam, fresh fruit… or all of the above. We don’t judge here.

Quick Preparation, No Lumps and a Chill Step for Extra Fluffiness

Even the most reluctant home bakers can master this recipe. Thanks to the Thermomix, there are no lumps, no fuss, and no stress.

Step-by-step Instructions for Pancake Glory:

1. Add all ingredients to the Thermomix bowl: flour, baking powder, oil, sugar, milk, and eggs. Blend for 30 seconds at speed 5.

2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula to make sure everything mixes evenly.

3. Blend again for another 30 seconds at speed 5.

4. Pour the batter into a container and let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. This step helps the pancakes become extra fluffy and smooth.

5. Heat a non-stick pan and brush it with a bit of butter.

6. Pour in a small ladle of batter. When bubbles start to form on the surface, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until golden.

7. Repeat with the rest of the batter and try not to eat them all straight from the pan.

Topping Ideas to Turn Pancakes Into a Deluxe Dessert

The base recipe is already delicious, but the real magic happens with the toppings. Here are a few winning combos:

• Classic: maple syrup, butter, a pinch of cinnamon

• Indulgent: chocolate spread, fresh strawberries, chopped hazelnuts

• “Healthy”: natural yogurt, berries, a drizzle of honey

• Decadent: dulce de leche, caramelized banana, whipped cream

Want to go full dessert mode? Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some hot chocolate sauce. Too much? Never.
