Treat your ingredients with care...
- Flour — Make sure to measure the flour accurately using the spoon and level method to avoid dense pancakes.
- Eggs — Use large eggs at room temperature for the best results.
- Butter — Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter to prevent it from cooking the eggs.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter just before cooking.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite fruits, such as sliced bananas or strawberries, for added freshness.
- If you prefer a sweeter pancake, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- To keep the pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batches, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
- Experiment with different toppings such as chocolate syrup, maple syrup, or fruit preserves to customize your pancakes.
Serving advice
Serve the Filipino-style Buttered Pancakes warm, stacked high on a plate. Drizzle them generously with sweetened condensed milk and place a pat of butter on top. Enjoy them with a cup of hot coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast experience.
Presentation advice
To make the pancakes visually appealing, stack them neatly on a plate, ensuring that each pancake is visible. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk in a zigzag pattern over the stack and place a small pat of butter on top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
