Treat your ingredients with care...
- Eggs — Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the batter for better incorporation.
- Milk — Use whole milk for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Cake flour — If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour, but the pancakes may be slightly less fluffy.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- To keep the pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
- Experiment with different toppings such as lemon zest, whipped cream, or chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Wicklow Pancakes stacked high on a plate, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a pat of butter. Accompany them with a side of crispy bacon or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast or brunch experience.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, stack the pancakes neatly on a plate, allowing the golden-brown edges to peek through. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a sprig of fresh mint.
