By simply changing the cooking method while using the standard ingredients and instructions, you can easily make dreamy thick pancakes! The photo shows two 8 cm (about 3-inch) pancakes stacked. These can be frozen for later.
Recipe Background
Some thick pancake recipes use meringue, but that’s basically a sponge cake, right? The ease of just mixing the ingredients without whipping eggs, plus a satisfyingly dense texture—without these, it just isn’t a pancake!

Steps

1

Cut parchment paper for the sides. For an 8 cm (about 3-inch) ring, cut strips about 1 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches (4 x 27 cm). For a 12 cm (about 4 3/4-inch) ring, cut strips about 1 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches (4 x 40 cm).
2

Place the pancake ring on a nonstick skillet and cover with a lid. Preheat over medium heat. Do not add oil. This recipe makes two 8 cm (3-inch) pancakes.
3

Crack the egg into a bowl and beat well until no lumps remain. Add all the milk and mix again. You don’t need to whip—just mix until combined.
4

Add the pancake mix and stir gently. Don’t worry about small lumps; just make sure there are no large lumps.
5

Carefully line the preheated ring with the parchment strip. Be careful—it’s hot.
6

Pour the batter evenly into the rings. Use a spoon to level the tops. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes.
7

If the surface is still wet after 15 minutes, increase the heat slightly. Once the surface is dry, remove the ring. It should lift off easily, but be careful—it’s hot.
8

Peel off the parchment from the sides, flip the pancakes, cover, and cook on low for about 5 more minutes. If the pancake has risen to the height of the parchment, you can skip peeling it off.
9

Once lightly browned, they’re done. Enjoy them however you like!

Here’s how it looks with a 12 cm (about 4 3/4-inch) ring. It’s the same plate as on the left. I usually make this size—it’s easier to eat and fills you up for lunch!
11

If the sides turn out wavy, try changing the direction of the parchment strip when you cut it. It still looks delicious though!

Wrap each pancake individually in plastic wrap and freeze. Reheat in the microwave whenever you want a quick treat!
