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.
