These pancakes are crisp and have a light texture. If you don't like the chewy or dense pancakes made with cake flour, give this recipe a try.

Recipe background: I created this myself because I'm not a fan of pancakes made with cake flour. This recipe is a perfect score for me.

Steps

1

Recipe updated on April 16, 2012.
Changed to use a combined amount of egg and milk so it works regardless of egg size.
2

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Prepare a damp kitchen towel as well.
3

Crack the egg into a bowl and add enough milk so the total weight is 225g (about 1 cup with the egg).
4

Add the sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk together.
5

Add the bread flour and baking powder. Sift them in if you prefer a lighter texture.
6

Using a whisk, gently fold the batter about 8 times, scooping from the bottom. Do not overmix—this is key.
7

Place the heated skillet briefly on the damp towel to lower the temperature, then pour in the batter. Cook on both sides until golden brown.
8

These pancakes are fluffy and crumbly, with a light texture that melts in your mouth. The result is similar to scones.
9

They rise well and have good height.
10

Try topping with ham, cheese, and a soft-cooked egg.
11

Also delicious with cheese and mascarpone.
