Description
Embrace the culinary expertise of Chef Gordon Ramsay with these delectable pancakes. With a focus on quality and simplicity, every bite promises a fluffy and flavorful experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for frying)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to lightly coat the surface.
- Pour ladlefuls of the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip using a spatula. Cook the other side until golden brown and the pancake has risen slightly.
- Serve immediately with toppings of your choice like fresh berries, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- For extra richness, Ramsay might suggest using clarified butter for frying the pancakes.
- Letting the batter rest is a key step as it allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
